I have a strong smell of sour milk left by a milk pod in my verismo, what should I use to clean it
1824129
After first cleaning and descaling the inner workings of the Verismo with this solution, try some white vinegar on all of the surfaces inside the pod receptacle and liquid catch try. Then leave everything disassembled and open to the air for a day or so before putting it together and brewing coffee.

We would recommend using the Full Circle Single Cup Descaling and Cleaning Liquid. 1. Follow the usage instructions but stop after running two cups of the cleaning solution through your machine.2. Open the pod area of the machine and clean the entire area with a brush. 3. Run the remaining solution through the machine4. Rinse with fresh waterThis should hopefully remove any milk that has leaked into the machine.

You MUST flush the frothing wand each time you use it. First flush it with steam and then when it cools down flush it again with a steady stream of water. If milk dries on the wand, let it soak in water for a few seconds and then wipe it clean with a wet towel. It is important to clean the frothing wand when it is still hot to avoid milk from getting pulled into the steam chamber. If milk gets into the steam chamber, you will have a very difficult time eliminating the sour milk taste and smell which usually requires a professional cleaning service. I hooe this helps.

I would agree with Amy that it is likely to work if you have first tried soap and water to get as much of the milk out. However, the bomb is very strong smelling at first (like carpet cleaner but worse) and while the original strange smell in the truck is gone, it just changed from one unpleasant smell to another after using the bomb. It is my husband's truck and it doesn't bother him but I still find it troublesome. Good luck!

I would use a windex type of cleaner. This is rather thick and smelly...like gasoline or something. I actually do not like the product much. Ok for smaller thins like glasses.

Generally speaking, since I have had it for a short while, I would pour an ounce of venegar with water (hot if you like) in a small tall vessel. Then I would first soak it, to see if the solution is cleaning. If not, I might try a rubbing alcohol soak. If neither cleans well enough, at least it should be sanitized by this. Later, before use, I would rinse in water. If the metal oxidation has dulled the finish, the options would require carefull removal of the polish afterwards (which I would rather replace with a new unit instead). I would probably guess that milk may accelerate oxidation with its PH.

It was a gift for a friend's son and I told them to do what I do with my thermos. Go to the store and purchase some inexpensive denture cleaning tablets. Throw a couple in the bottle over night filled with water, then wash with warm water and soap the next day. You could also use a drop of bleach in water. I keep a baby bottle/glass brush on hand if I have something like juice which is sticky and I want to be a bit more thorough. If you feel there is an after taste issue, you can also soak over night once a week with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. Several options for you, I hope that help.

NO, I don't like the machine. It is too big, and has a strong funny smell of I think the spice Cumin. (Indian Cooking spice) What can I do?

Use lighter fluid, polish remover will stain the cup. You will be amazed how easy it comes off!

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

I use a bottle brush and normal dish-washing liquid. Go easy on the cleaning products, and DON'T put it in the dishwasher. I did that once, and the water from that bottle never stopped tasting like detergent. I tried all kinds of things to get the smell/taste out, but it was permanent. The lid is fine in the dishwasher, but remove the carabiner or it may eventually rust. Submerging the bottle/swishing it around may work for a while, but eventually you will notice a musty smell/taste (I've been using these for a few years). You really do need to use a brush to scrub the inside. Also, don't use boiling water to disinfect. It will melt the plastic (voice of experience). I use a bottle brush and normal dish-washing liquid.

I don't know why you are asking so I'll just throw out ideas. When my washing machine became smelly with mildew I tried many products. What worked best was vinegar. I put in a large amount, started the washer on hot, and let it not spin out overnight. Then I'd add a quarter cup of vinegar in the final rinse, especially with towels. That worked well. I would try pouring a half gallon of vinegar into the dishwasher and leave it for a few hours, then let it run to completion. Wipe down the seals and around the door. I don't think that would cause harm, but do it at your win risk. I think smelly washer is citric acid like is in soda pop and is an acid like vinegar.

Not to my knowledge. There are specific Verismo pods for the Verismo machine & directions say to only use those. I buy mine from Starbucks online or Bed,Bath & Beyond- ha! Coupons!

It should be cleaned after each use to keep it from clogging. Removing it will make it easier. First push the button for espresso and then turn the dial to run water thru it. After that yup can remove it and rinse it if you see milk it it. Just hold it under your faucet or sprayer.

I use a powdered soap like Ajax or Comet. Heat the pan in hot soap water, pull it out and scrub. If that doesn't work try over cleaner outside.

You are most likely getting that smell from the silicone ring. You can just pull it out and hand wash it with some dish soap to get rid of the smell. Even though it may smell like whatever you cooked last it will not impart that smell (or taste) in whatever you are going to cook.
