How to Clean Your Aerogarden the EASY WAY, Even When It's NASTY 

Thank you so much for the hard water cleaning solution.

Don’t forget to actually wash the top off. It was just wiped off. I always finish with soap and water. Gets the stinky vinegar smell. I prefer to use bleach. 1/4 cup in a full bowl of water. run for 30 minutes. I do have to turn the pump on when it shuts down. I dump out the water. Rinse the bowl and grow deck with water. Then I fill it back up with clear water and run it for 30 minutes. I then dump out the water and do a thorough rinse. I make sure the sponge is in during those cycles and thoroughly rinsed because it needs to be cleaned as well.

I think a lot of people don't realize how often they might need to be cleaned..... oh and not with any toothbrush still in use 🙄
