Cleaning a pitcher is different from changing its filter: remove the filter first, then gently wash the pitcher parts. Brita says not to put pitchers or dispensers in the dishwasher; follow the local model manual.

0 / 6 done

1. Identify the pitcher model, consult its manual, empty existing water and wash your hands.
2. Remove the filter and set it aside; do not soak it in detergent or scrub it along with the plastic parts.
3. Separate the pitcher body, lid and reservoir as permitted and hand-wash with mild dish soap and soft tools.
4. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh cleaners; rinse every washed part thoroughly with clean water.
5. Reassemble the reservoir and lid in the correct orientation, checking vent and fill-lid positions per your exact model.
6. Keep the pitcher cool and away from direct sun. Brita pitchers and dispensers are not dishwasher-safe; filter only potable water.
