You can clean the exterior of the Instant Pot with a damp cloth or a toothbrush for hard-to-reach areas. In order to clean the bottom of the inner pot of the appliance, pour a cup of white vinegar in the bottom and let it sit for 5 minutes. Pour it out and rinse with water. Never place the entire Instant Pot in a dishwasher, as it is not safe for the appliance!
