Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the hygiene and performance of your sparkling water maker. Here's a detailed guide:

Bottles:

l Hand washing: Most manufacturers recommend hand-washing the bottles with warm, soapy water. Use a gentle dish soap and a bottle brush to thoroughly clean the inside. Rinse the bottle well with clean water to remove any soap residue.

l Dishwasher safe: Some bottles are dishwasher safe, but it's crucial to check your user manual to confirm. If your bottle is dishwasher safe, place it on the top rack to avoid exposure to high temperatures.

l Drying: Allow the bottles to air dry completely or use a clean towel to dry them. Ensure the bottle is completely dry before using it again.

Machine:

l Wipe down: Regularly wipe down the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.  

l Drip tray: The drip tray, which collects any spills, should be emptied and washed regularly. You can usually remove the drip tray and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing it.  

l No internal cleaning: Do not attempt to disassemble or clean the internal parts of the machine yourself, unless explicitly instructed in your user manual. This could damage the machine and may void your warranty.

CO2 Cylinder:

l No cleaning required: The CO2 cylinder itself does not require cleaning.

Frequency:

l Bottles: Wash the bottles after each use to prevent bacteria growth and maintain freshness.  

l Machine: Wipe down the machine and empty the drip tray as needed, ideally after each use or at least daily.

l User Manual: Always refer to your user manual for specific cleaning instructions and recommendations for your particular model.

By following these cleaning guidelines, you can keep your sparkling water maker in top condition and ensure the quality and safety of your bubbly drinks.
