I have rubbing alcohol, vodka and denture cleaning tablets that I was thinking of using?

I dont want to hurt the O Rings or anything so whats my safest option? Should I clean (soak) everything or just certain things (like glass tank, chimney, deck?)

Should I take all the little screws off the deck and soak them also while the deck is soaking separately?

Loving this thing so far just probably going to switch flavors soon, and I like a clean slate...nice and fresh for new juice

yea was thinking some crud could get inside the threading where the screws go in on the deck, so thanks.

any recommendation on o ring cleaning? perhaps just soaking them in distilled water? that shouldnt warp the rubber.

my orchid glass tank has some rubber seals on it of some sort I think and I dont wanna distort the seal at all.

maybe some dawn soap would be okay on the rubber?

thanks really enjoying this tank!

well just figured out that the glass tank has two rubber seals that are easily removed :)

decided to just let all the rubber soak for about an hour in some distilled water...

seems the orings on the drip tip are alittle more stingy to come off so just dropped the entire piece in the distilled water also.

soaked the chimney, the glass tank and top cap in some denture cleaner for about an hour. basically cleans real quick when you drop the tablet in some warm water its blue but once it gets clear everything is ready to go. :)
