Is there any reason I can not boil a mix of water with vinegar in it for cleaning?

I've never done that, but I don't see why not. I boil a mix of vinegar and water for cleaning in much of my cookware - stainless and non-stick. It makes for easy clean up with no lingering odor or flavor.

you can run vinegar through it than run with clear water, instructions are in the booklet, but that only needs to be done maybe once a month or so.

I read up on one of the websites on how to make homemade vanilla extract and they had instructions on cleaning the bottles thoroughly before using. I think I filled them up with water and .....(I'm not sure if there was vinegar called for as well) and microwaved them to boiling for a certain amount of time.

The recommended way is just water, you can add vinegar if you want or very mild soap, you should not put any heavy soap or solution, it will clog it.

I would try high heat and vinegar in with the detergent. For the purposes of disinfection, I wouldn't treat this detergent differently from any other.

Use mine for 1:1 vinegar water solution. They are really great and good quality. Imagine lemon and vinegar would do just fine.

What would there be to be concerned about? It's only for heating water.When the lid on the spout is held open much of the bottom can be seen.When I clean the kettle with vinegar I look at what I can see and if that part is free of lime ~likely the rest of the bottom is also because the vinegar/water filled the pot.

If the vinegar solution does not remove the calcium, then you can try some of the industrial removers. It is best to use distilled water in your unit so that it does not become a problem. Sorry I cannot be of more help. My unit has not clogged up.

I use vinegar. You can mix it 50/50 with water and just let it sit. The longer the better. I have done it a few times. It may take a couple soakings to get it off.

Hi thereI have no actual experience with this problem however I would approach itthd same way I would approach burning a pot or kettle. Heat vinegar abd water and allow to soak overnight is a gentle option. As it should have only been water in the jug that should be sufficient. Failing that scrubbing with an abrasive cleaner should work. Failing that you could soak overnight with water and half teaspoon of dishwasher powder Hope this helps. James

I would recommend you pour straight vinegar nt the bottom of the unit and let it sit for 2 hoursThen put some water in the container and see if it turns onDo not empty the vinegar from the bottom let it run through Sort of like when you clean your coffee pot I do not use distiller water but I do regularly use the white vinegar Mine runs like a charm but it will shut down if residue builds up

Someone suggested glass cleaner w/vinegar and that works well for us. I imagine a water & vinegar solution would work well too.

I use the solution suggested in the manual. 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water and let it sit sit for a few hours before rinsing out.

I have heard a water-vinegar solution is good to run through to de-lime or otherwise clean. Have never needed to do so don't know for sure.
