A:Answer After each use, I set it to self cleaning mode, then I thoroughly wash out the dirty water container and filters. I also remove the front cover, and unclip the roller. I wash the cover and the roller in the sink, and also wipe out the housing that holds the roller.
The roller and filter then sit in the holders on the tray to dry until I next use the machine.
It never smells bad due to my doing this.
