I like cold water from a hose.  A lot of it.  The trouble with hot water is that it melts the wax and the wax coats everything.  Cold water and the wax just washes out as crumbles.   The bees volition clean up any spills, but this tends to create a huge corporeality of anarchy (besides as being considered an infection take chances).

I hose it off in the driveway with the garden hose.  Then I scrub information technology with a scrub brush.  Then I boil a bunch of pots of water and pour boiling h2o over information technology.  Then I dry out information technology out with a make clean towel.  Then I extract.

Like nearly in our apiculture club, I put mine out on its side, off the ground by ~12" and let the bees accept at it. It is usually clean in two days - three at the near. And then wash with hot soapy water and rinse until the cows come abode.  -Mike
