Ma’am. My tank has been disgusting for YEARS!!! Far nastier than yours. I’ve had no clue how to clean it. Tried so many different things. Your method worked far better than anything else I’ve tried. It’s not perfect but it’s much better. Thank you for your creativity and ingenuity.

All else being equal the unexpected pan to your pet pig cracked me up - like, sup'. Hahaha. Cheers.

Crushed ice and salt will accomplish this with little scratching.

That's funny, because that's how I was taught to clean a glass coffee pot when coffee was burned on (worked at McDonald's).. but I didn't think of it for this. Probably because the coffee pot cleaned easiest when it was still a little hot.

Although, I think for what I had in it, it would need a more harsh scrubber than salt and ice.

Wow thank you for sharing this . I have been struggling to get this cleaned.

AWESOME tip! Thanks for sharing!!!

I thought for sure that white thing in the middle had to come out... I had pliers and everything out trying to maneuver it out of there .. good thing I googled it before I ended up breaking the damn thing.. lol . Smart idea! Thanku I just tried it .. works great!!! Appreciate it ! God bless

I was about to take pliers to mine. Glad to know it doesn't before I waste the effort. Its shocking it doesn't come out! I'm concerned there will be mold growth but there are great cleaning suggestions in here!

You’re a genius. Thank you so much!

Best video. This worked for me. 🙏

My favorite part of the video was the causal introduction of that enormous pig

Genius! I had the exact same issue and was trying to clean it out today. I decided to see what others are doing and found your solution! Do you have a hack for removing that clear plastic cover over the vacuum head?

If you use a tiny flat head just to get in between the sides of the front to help pull it away from the main piece enough you can use it to move slowly down the sides and it will pop off. Idk why they didn't put a divot into it to help but hindsight I guess.

Vinegar and baking soda. White vinegar. It'll fizzle up and then when it's just shake it all around and when it's done put some hot water in it and shake it around some more.

Genius! Now if I can find out how to get the dang nozzle off!

There’s a tiny little “button” type thing. You push it in, try with a fork or something, then it slides off.

My wife thanks you a million times over! 😂

I didn't empty mine for 4 years and..... mildew started growing in it lol always clean out before storing!

Awesome hack! We used BBs!

People think I'm a weirdo because I keep what I call my cleaning sand in my closet. it's my chemical free way of getting an abrasive in to spots I can't reach with a brush. My big problem is that no mater how much I vac first I get hair wrapped around the bottom in there. I hate that you can't take the guts out of the tank to clean it or at least let us take the bottom off .

@IKR drives me up the wall. How can you divise a tool for cleaning filthy dirty things and not be able to clean the tool itself. extreme lack of oversight. they did correct this in later models.

Uncooked rice would be better

Why did try the rice?

Epson salt work great for this kimd of thing! I use it to clean my MJ paraphernalia

Tip. Let the water continue to fill the soapy container pushing out the suds. It's kore efficient than filling and dumping 5 times trying to getbthe soap out.

Great idea! I got my machine used, so no instructions. I wasn't aware that I had to clean it after every use, so it's pretty disgusting! I tried to get a bottle brush in there, but that didn't work.

You can buy little straw cleaners. They work a bit. Mine looks better than before, but not perfect.

Great idea. Would be nice if that white piece could be removed!

Popcorn kernels!

I am going to try this since mine is very stinky. The inside cyllinder is hard to clean.

Great idea though.

Thanks for this. Bad design that you cannot open it up

I actually ended up using some un-used fish gravel I had lying around!

Thank you! I used it for my pets vomit stain on carpet and totally forgot to clean the machine and omg today I was so disgusted by that 🥲 my mom told me the same thing maybe try some rock and shake to clean 😄 doing it now

Why not just use epson salt instead of rocks.
