What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Take the lid off the pitcher and wash it in the sink with hot water and your basic dishwashing detergent. Wipe it down with a washcloth or sponge, making sure to get into the crevices of the lid as best as you can. For pitchers with electronics in the lid, be sure to not submerge them in water. For Brita pitchers that feature a chrome lid, mix one teaspoon of vinegar into a cup of warm water and gently wipe the lid down with a soft cloth dipped in the water. The filter does not need to be washed, but rinse it off with warm water if you want to. Set the filter on a clean surface so you don't contaminate it. Take the water reservoir out of the pitcher, if it has one, and put it in the sink. Using a mild dish detergent and warm water, wipe the reservoir down with a soft cloth. Be sure to wipe the inside and outside of the reservoir, as well as the cradle where the filter sits.

Summary:
Remove the lid and wash it. Remove the filter and set it aside. Remove and wash the reservoir.
