  I take it off, and love the medela sanitizing wipes!  I just wipe it out really good then rinse with super hot water.

  I just take the whole thing apart and wash it in warm soapy water (FYI: I have the Medela Swing).  I always take the membrane off.  Just for extra info: my pump came with a few extra membranes and when I asked if I was supposed to be changing it regularly I was told that sometimes they rip and that is the only occasion on which they would need to be changed.

  I just clean it with soap and water with the bottle brush and I do leave the membranes on when cleaning.

  I have the Freestyle and the instructions said to take the whole thing apart then soak in soapy warm water for 5-10 minutes, then rinse and dry on a towel.  I do this every time, then every other day I sanitize the parts with one of Medela's Steam 'n Clean Bags.  No milk flows through the actual pump, so I don't think it needs any cleaning.

  I used the Medela wipes everytime after use, then hot soapy water at the end of the day.
