Milk jug
Backwashing cleaning solution (1 teaspoon)
Cold water
Clean milk jug (for morning rinse)
Steps:
Prepare Cleaning Solution: Fill a milk jug with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of backwashing cleaning solution.
Steam the Solution:
Submerge the steam wand in the solution.
Activate the steam as if you were steaming milk for a latte.
Turn the steam off and on at least five times. This will ensure the solution circulates and breaks down any sugar residue.
Heat the solution: Continue steaming until the solution becomes hot and slightly foamy.
Soak Overnight:
Once the solution is hot, turn off the steam and leave the steam wand submerged in the jug.
Allow it to soak overnight to effectively dissolve stubborn sugar residues.
Important: This step should be performed as part of the nightly closing routine.
Morning Rinse:
In the morning, fill a clean milk jug with fresh, cold water (no cleaning solution).
Repeat the steaming process. Use only water to flush out any cleaning solutions.
Inspect and Wipe: After rinsing, wipe the steam wand with a clean, damp cloth. Then, check for any sugar or cleaning solution.
Notes:
Always perform this procedure when closing for the night to cut downtime.
For best results, add this cleaning step to your daily routine. It will prevent buildup and keep your steam wand working well.
