What did you do to clean it?

About to buy a used one and a deep clean is absolutely the first thing I do.

Follow the directions given in the club feeds.  Use a degreaser then scrape the bowl and lid with a straight edge razor scraper.  The do same on outside.  Keep it wet with dawn soap and water or purple power degreaser dollar General !
