Due to the composition characteristics of milk, if the steam pipe is not cleaned timely and regularly, it will be easy to scale. Light makes people look very unhygienic and may cause milk to deteriorate easily; seriously, it clogs the air outlet and reduces the amount of steam. Therefore, it is necessary for us to develop good cleaning and maintenance habits.

Must be scrubbed every time

After each use of the steam pipe, be sure to clean the outside of the steam pipe to avoid scaling, although this is only the surface of the cleaning work, but it is still very important to keep it clean. Remember to tap the steam twice after wiping it clean in order to discharge the residual milk and other liquids from the steam pipe.

Must soak every day.

Soaking, especially special powder soaking steam pipe is undoubtedly the most effective way to remove milk dirt from the inner wall of steam pipe, especially for people who do not know how to disassemble coffee. We can generally add 500ml cold water to a 600 ml milk tank, then put in 3 grams of powder, heat the cold water with a steam pipe and soak it to the next day. Of course, you don't have to use the powder every day, you can usually soak the powder once a week, but soaking in water can be done every day, or at least a few jars of cold water before turning off the coffee machine will keep the steam pipe clean. By forming the above habit of cleaning and soaking every day, you can certainly help your love machine to stay at its best.
