What is the cleaning procedure for a bamboo steamer?

I just wipe mine with hot water and a bit of dish soap. Be sure to allow to dry it completely before storing it away, or it may start to mold.

I usually wash them with warm water and regular dish soap, I let them dry on the counter. Better if you use them with round parchment paper (you can cut it previously) so It doesn´t get sticky/oily when you cook.

I have not put in dishwasher. I have always been told to never put bamboo in dishwater, hand wash only.

Mine stopped steaming so I just use it as a damp mop. Tried white vinegar to clean it but did not work

Just turn it inside out and clean it with soap and water. Hang it up to dry.

Just soak it in mild soap and water, and if there's residue that needs to be removed use a fingernail brush to remove it.

I would use warm water or maybe some Woolite to clean the inside. That would be gentle enough. If you are referring to the outside, warm soapy water with a soft cloth should be ok

I would not....it will dry out and crack eventually. I use lemon and salt and sometimes just warm water and soap. You need to oil the bamboo once in awhile as well. I use palm oil.

Put clean water in every week, rinse off the roots first. you can buy some liquid food, I buy it from a chinese grocery shop, and put 2 drops in. I have had some bamboo for years, I love it...Good luck with yours.... oh yes and no sun!

I use a very soft linen cloth. Something like a tea towel. I ever so lightly moisted it with water and that usually does the trick.

So far I just wash it out with soap and water but plan to run vinegar water thru it soon. Haven't had it that long.

The recommendation is to wash all wooden utensils by hand with a standard dish detergent. Our previous bamboo spoon (different manufacturer) actually split after it was accidentally washed in the dishwasher.

You can use tap water. If your water has a lot of minerals you will need to clean the steamer occasionally. Instructions for cleaning come in the box.

I clean it with a soft sponge and liquid soap with warm water, rise well and prop open to dry. No metal untensils and no abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.

This bamboo spoon can be cleaned with soap and water. Some people even put them in the dishwasher. They are strong sturdy spoons.

To remove burned-on food, fill the pan with enough warm, soapy water to cover the mess and let it sit for an hour. Then put the pan back on the burner and boil the soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the water cool to the touch, then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Wash out again with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Repeat for stubborn residue. Use a non-abrasive cleanser like Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser or Bar Keepers Friend for general cleaning, stain removal and keeping the cookware shiny as new. Don't use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Although they do an excellent job of removing stuck-on food, all stainless steel cookware makers caution that they will scratch the surface of the cookware. Instead, opt for nylon-net scouring pads, plastic or nylon brushes.

simple to clean, just brake it down, and all pieces into bleach solution.......then into warm water, and dry ! I store the small pieces in a 1 qt. zip-lok

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...
