How does one clean it, other than shaking?

Shaking is a waste of time. Go outdoors first. Then use your hand to rub up (from base of brush to the tip) all the way around. Quickly you will get a blob of web that will drop off on the ground. Here in the woods in Georgetown SC we have an explosion of spiders in the late summer and fall. The house outside and porch would look like the Addams family house without this brush.

It is very resilient. When mine no longer comes clean from shaking it, I dunk it in a bucket with some general cleaner and swish it around.

If you bang it against the side of the trash can, the handle will break off

if I'm cleaning multiple areas i do the shaking over a trash can or in the yard, but when I'm done i hose it off, the "needles" clump but once they dry its back to normal.

Take it apart and clean with mineral sprits. Clean each part good, it is easy for it comes apart real good.

Just use a brush, etc., and cleaning it is no problem. Just don't spill coffee, juice, sugar laden soft drink, etc on it.

You don't! The only cleaning is surface cleaning on the outside of the unit. The manual recommends wiping with a dry cloth. It's maintenance free - plug it in and only dry wipe the shell when needed.

I wash mine with dish detergent. Run it under water to get it wet, then put a few drops of detergent on both sides, agitate the surface with your fingers. Afterwards, run it under the water again to rinse while squeezing the excess suds/soap out. When you're finished let it air dry.

What Thomas said. Just make certain you rinse it really, really well so no soap remains.

I just take some gentle cleaner on a wet rag and clean it inside and out, and then after rinsing the rag, do another wipeover or two. Let it dry, or dry it with a towel. It's very easy to keep clean.

I suggest using a cloth or paper towel and putting some rubbing alcohol. Then have a dry cloth or towel to wipe any residue off. That is what I do.

I cleaned the preowned one I bought with soft scrub with bleach. Rinse well. I cleaned and sanitized all at one time.

I've never had to clean mine with anything other than a wet towel, but i suppose windex or alcohol would work best.

I usually rinse it with warm water( not too hot or it will warp), or if I find that it is very dirty, I use a tiny bit of dish soap to clean it.

General cleaning, use a microfiber cloth/towel damp to just give a once over. Never had used anything stronger.

I wash mine like so: tilt it and keep it looking (bristles) down under the pouring lukewarm water and using shampoo to wash it. Wash out the shampoo thoroughly and then gently squeeze the bristles to get some of the water out, dab it on a clean towel, and just let it air dry.

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.

Just wipe it off with a moist cloth and its clean. Mine is always in a case so i don't have much issues keeping it clean

I haven't had a problem with cleaning it. I rinse it right after I use it. Try letting it sit in hot water and then spin it
