Washing the Reservoir?

Post by Endo »

All you Mini owners: How often do you wash your reservoir out? Weekly? Monthly? Never?

I assume everybody uses backflush detergent? (Not lemony dishwashing liquid).

I wash mine out once a month. But, oh geez, I admit to using dishwashing detergent. And here I thought I was finally developing my tastes to discern that lemony goodness in my shots.

I started washing mine when I think about it. I felt the inside one time and it felt kind of slimy, although clear. I too just use whatever the wife has on the counter in her little container.

It's not a Mini but I dump & rinse my Strega's plastic reservoir under hot water every couple days. No sign of any sliminess yet so no detergent cleanings
