Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I have been cleaning mine out by putting hot water in the mouth of it and just rolling it between my fingers, the adding more water afterI dischchareg the water in it and addin more in the sink and tapping the tube against the bowl of the sink. So far it has remained as clean as the 1st use. That brings out pretty good sized chunks of whatever I have eaten. This mornin I inserted a clean thin stainless rod and moved it around too. It cleans it. After this I flush warm water thru it to my stomache.
