The ClearPod can be cleaned with mild soap or detergent before being rinsed with clean water. Since the ClearPod is a polycarbonate, non-critical device you can use a low level disinfectant such as 70% or higher Ethyl/Isopropyl Alcohol (source: CDC). For a thorough disinfection, we suggest cleaning the ClearPod and then soaking it in a disinfecting solution of 0.525% Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) mixed with water for 25 minutes. Thoroughly rinse off the disinfectant before use and wipe your ClearPod dry. Do not autoclave or use heat to clean this product.
