Hi PT,
My husband soaks the distiller overnight with 6% distilled vinegar and adds
baking soda to it. It would bubble so be careful, it could spill over. The
following morning if there is any residue left, most of the time very tiny
bits, he would use a long brush with long bristles at the e

Vinegar is fine for stainless steel, but it will attack copper and
brass. To remove minerals from them you can use a hot solution of

I have good success with about a cup of white vinegar to a full tank

Thanks.
