I have a cloner that I have not touched in 3 years, does anyone have suggestions on how to clean the manifold? Thanks!

If there is mineral/hard water buildup, you can soak in 50% apple cider vinegar and 50% hot water overnight. If the manifold is made of plastic,make sure the water is not too hot.
