Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for hygiene and product longevity. Always wash parts immediately after each use.

  • Wash these parts with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush for thorough cleaning.
  • Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water.
  • Allow parts to air dry completely on a clean surface or drying rack.
  • Do not wash the tubing. If moisture or milk enters the tubing, replace it immediately to prevent contamination.
