I wash mine with hot soapy water and a soft green scrubby to remove the day's paraffin and bacteria (I'm sure it grows some). Then squirt a little absolute in it and wipe around to help dry it . We have a morning person who fills all water baths every morning. Personally I don't like the idea of letting water sit overnight as I feel that dust can fall into it. Also I feel like it could be a good breeding ground for bacteria. This is just my personal opinion

Also, what do you use to clean your water baths?
