Lol!!! I love it!

Thank you very much Colin for your advice. I have not yet cleaned the inside of the glass (and will use a clean sponge when I do). Wasn't aware that there'd be a biofilm collecting harmful bacteria/fungus. (And I got an A in microbiology - how embarrassing.) 1) How do you recommend I clean...
