We use it for pumping various non-hot food liquids (oil, soy sauce, vinegar): how do you suggest cleaning between uses?

I only use the tubing for making prototypes of vacuum-packing systems, not for actually selling or using the tubing in products. I do not run fluids through the tubing, and hence have never had to clean it. If I had to, I would clean the tubing by flushing it with a mix of dishwater detergent and water, and rinsing it with plain water.

So far I have pumped about 4 bottles of Jordan's Skinny Syrup through mine and so far have not had to clean it. I had another pump a couple of years ago that needed cleaned and all I did was pump warm water through it, cleaned the nozzle right out and of course the rest of the pump too. pumped it dry a couple of times then put it back in syrup bottle and it worked fine.

I like the vinegar and water idea below. I use vinegar for all my cleaning... Except cleaning dishes in the dishwasher lol

I just rinse it off with water after i get done using it. Just make sure all the little pieces of food aren't on it cuz then it takes some scrubbing:)

I just use a small amount of dish soap and hot water. If it needs it I will soak overnight and use a small plastic bristle brush. With rinsing after each use I hardly find the need for anything else.

You can start with cleaning it under plain water. I have never cleaned it using vinegar so I am not sure what that'll do. Based on my experience these don't last more than two years at most and usually one year or so. I did have some functionality restored after increasing the amount of salt but not for very long. Good luck!

I only clean it when the oil looks bad. That depends on how often we use it. Cleaning was easier than other friers due to less of parts. I drain it and soak it over night in soapy water, rinse the next day. Vingar can be used to help cut some of the oil on the stainless steel. I hope this helps.

very easy to clean - rinse or washing machine. I personally use unscented soap/detergent because its a food storage.

There is a cleaning fluid that should be used with the machine. Plain water can work but will not be as effective.

SORRY! We use ours for dish washing soap, not oil. Wish I could be more helpful!

Every other day and then I clean it once a week by putting white vinegar and water in it and then run it for 1/2 an hour. Hope this helps

soap-n-water. (and some elbow grease when needed) It's a very easy clean up.

I have not used this to clean Oil/Grease other than what was on the floor near my stove. I imagine since this is oxygenated bleach it would work but I would suggest looking at the company website to see what they suggest. One key thing to using this product is to make sure it is completely dissolved in warm water and to use it immediately. Allowing it to soak for a few minutes also helps "bleach" the dirt away. Good luck!

I wash the bottles, flanges, white rubber pieces that fit at the base of the flange and the cylindrical pieces that fit at the top of the flange. Otherwise, nothing else needs to be washed. Do not clean the thin tubes or white plastic pieces. The pump should include an instruction booklet as well.

The recommended way is just water, you can add vinegar if you want or very mild soap, you should not put any heavy soap or solution, it will clog it.

Yes, it is a good idea to use it no matter where you store it. It is a lubricant for the pump.

I used non-water based solvent in mine and the pump only lasted a few months. Now I need a new pump. But if you get a pump that is non-water based compatible there's no reason you couldn't use the sink portion w/ the good stuff.
