QuestionI’ve read reviews that this is very hard to clean and keep clean. What’s your experience? Tks
Asked 6 years ago by Rg.
- Answer Its not hard to keep clean. Wipe it with a damp cloth and its beautiful. One little hiccup would be having to remove both outer grates to lift the center one since they lock together. Minor inconvenience for me.
