Wash immediately with hot water and a nylon scrubber, then dry thoroughly. You can also boil water in the pan to loosen stubborn residue and/or sanitize it in place of soap, then once the pan cools, repeat the process using the hot water and the nylon scrubber. For more difficult residue, I have never done this, but I read that baking soda and of all things a potato can be used to scrub cast iron, however you may have to apply a little bit of vegetable oil to the cast iron afterwards. Make sure it is a light coating of oil though, as I over did it once on my cast iron pan and had a sticky coating that was a pain to clean off.

Hot water is put in and boiled, and after floating dirt and throwing away hot water, it rubs lightly by sponge. You may wash in cold water and it dries. Cautions are required so that POD may not be rusted.

Hi, after I use my pan I wash either in hot or warm soapy water. Then I dry it with a towel.

I hand wash mine with warm soapy water and dry with a paper towel. No issues.

I just use soapy hot water and hand wash it. I suppose it can go into the dishwasher, but since it's so small, I hand wash. I also use paper towels to soak up the oil before I wash it.

We keep it covered with a mattress protector, so not sure how to answer your question. I haven't tried to wash it yet.

Wipe it down with a used fabric softener sheet. Gets rid of any soap scum, water deposits, etc. Probably easier on the surface than toothpaste too.

They sell a special solution to wash it with, but I think you can use a mild detergent on it. Something like Dawn. I haven't had to wash mine yet, so I can't really make a recommendation.

As I remember the care instructions you can hose off the cover but do not wash it with soap or any other chemical as it will degrade the protective coating on the cover.

You need to wash it before you use it (per instructions...so read the laundry instructions [hand wash or machine wash]) and wash as you feel its needed.

You really don't have to clean it but you can use light soap and water mixed and just pour it through and rinse it out thoroughly that's it.

Take a cloth or paper towel soaked in vinegar and wipe it out really good. The acid in the vinegar will clean the soap out of it.I clean mine in the top rack of the dishwasher, and that doesn't leave a soapy taste. You might try not using soap at all, just soak in very hot water, if you don't have a dishwasher. Be sure not to use abrasive pad to clean it either. That can damage the surface.

Have not washed mine yet so no help here. If I did wash it I would use cold or warm water not hot.

I recommend washing with water, a sponge and a little bit of soap. Do not use chemicals like Lysol, it will deteriorate the foam.
