Do You Need to Clean a New Coffee Maker? Let’s Talk About It

Collin Baking soda, Bleach, Cleaning, Vinegar

Do you need to clean a new coffee maker? Yes, Let’s imagine for a second. The coffee maker was most likely manufactured in china. That’s Strike 1. Just so we’re clear, I have nothing against China.

My point is its really far away. Imagine your coffee maker coming off a conveyor belt and into the hands of a factory worker who just sneezed and as no one was looking, he placed your coffee make into the box with a sticker reading passed inspection.

YUCK! That’s strike 2. Better yet your coffee maker just traveling a few thousand miles through dust and bugs crawling in and out.

The moral of the story is, don’t trust the new look. Germs and bacteria that can not be seen by the eyes are very real.

How to clean a coffee maker with vinegar

Measure a half a cup of water and measure a half a cup of vinegar. Set the coffee machine through its normal brewing cycle. Stop the brewing cycle after 5 minutes and allow the vinegar to permeate the machine with its cleaning power. Continue brewing through its cycle. Repeat the process as many times as possible with fresh water to remove all of the vinegar.

How to clean a coffee maker with baking soda

Measure one cup of water and add 1/4 of baking soda to the water. Stir the water and baking soda mixture until it dissolves completely. Pour the mixture into the coffee machine and set your machine to brew as if you’re preparing it for consumption. Repeat the process as many times as possible with fresh water to get all of the baking soda residues out.

How to clean a coffee maker with bleach

Measure half a cup of bleach and measure 3 cups of water. Add the water and the bleach to the coffee maker. Set the coffee maker setting to brew. Allow the machine to brew half of its full cycle and stop it. Let the bleach and water mixture sit in the machine for 15-30 minutes. Repeat the process as many times as possible with fresh water to get all of the scents out.

Do I Need to Clean After Fumigation? Maybe and Here’s Why

Collin Cleaning

Yes, you need to clean after fumigation. The maybe part is, maybe you don’t care if your home was filled with insect-killing aroma and you have absolutely no fear of getting sick.

Here’s a quick definition of fumigation. Fumigation is a gaseous process that fills an area which suffocates the insects and pest. Still on the fence about if you should clean your home after reading this? lol

Supplies needed to clean after fumigation

Any cleaner that has germ-killing properties
New cleaning clothes if possible
2 Buckets
Mop
Duster
Scrub brush
Spray bottle
Furniture polisher

Step by step how to clean after fumigation

The cleaning process is pretty tedious and may take 3-5 hours if done properly.

Step 1

Fill the spray bottle with germ killing cleaner. Remember to fill your spray bottle strategically with %75 percent water, and then add the germ killing cleaner to top off the bottle. Doing this will help to maximize your germ-killing cleaner so you don’t waste it.

Pour 8 cap fill of germ killing cleaner into the 2 buckets and fill the buckets %80 percent full. Overfilling the bucket will spill over when its time to wipe or mop.

Step 2

Pick a room to begin cleaning. Begin with the ceiling. If there are dust and cobwebs, get those first. Spray the vents and ceiling if possible and wipe clean. Wash your cleaning clothe or change it after wiping the roof and vents. DON’T FORGET THE CEILING FAN!

Step 3

Work your way to the walls. You should have a fresh rag or new rag at this point. All items on the wall need to be sanitized. be very cautious of wooden picture frames when wiping with a chemical drenched rag. Squeeze your rag as much as possible and then wipe clean. Double back and wipe cany water residue with furniture polisher.

Step 4

Next, chairs, tables, desk, dressers, night lamps E.T.C. Clean your rag. All wooden finishes need a once over with furniture polish.

Step 5

Clean the baseboards, and lastly mop the floors. Any room that has carpeting should be lightly sprayed with germ killing disinfectant and allowed to dry for 24 hours. Repeat for each room.

If there is something that you think we might’ve missed, please let us know in the comments.
