Steps to clean Pitcher Mould
Remove the water tank: Pour the remaining water in the water tank, and then remove the water tank. You must separate the special storage tank in the Pitcher Mould. If you have not changed the screen before, you must do so. Throwing away the filter from time to time is a proper hygiene measure, because the filter may only provide bacteria for you and other harmful substances. If you insist on keeping the screen, you don't have to wash all the screens. Rinse it with warm water and place it on a clean surface to prevent it from being contaminated.
When you want to clean the interior, disassembling the Pitcher Mould may be a bit tricky. It is important to fill the bottom with water to make the bottom-heavy and keep the bottom upside down. The weight of the water should eject the inserted plastic.
The type of Pitcher Mould you buy will determine the ease of disassembly. For example, zero water tanks are very popular because they are easy to clean.
Cleaning: The water tank has been disassembled to clean it. Pour some dish soap in warm water to create a cleaning solution. Soak the lid and container for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then scrub each individual part until you are satisfied with their cleanliness, and then you hear a squeak.
Note: You can also choose to clean the reservoir with neutral detergent and warm water, and then gently dry it with a soft towel.
Scrape the mold: After cleaning, it is almost impossible to feel the mold, especially when it is thoroughly cleaned. If mold still remains, mix white vinegar (one teaspoon) and water (one cup) in a bowl, then put it in the solution and scrub.
Rinse and dry: When you can't feel the mold, you will hear a squeaking sound. Rinse the tank and lid with water; do this thoroughly. Or put it in warm water. Then keep the air dry; before putting them back in place, you must make sure that each part is completely dry to avoid mold in the water tank. It is recommended that you put the parts on the shelf. You can also tilt up the parts of the dishes.
Prepare a new filter: Since the pitcher is dry, it is time to prepare a new sieve. Depending on the Pitcher Mould you are using, it may not be necessary to soak the Pitcher Mould before cleaning. The newer version of Pitcher Mould does not need to be washed and then soaked like the old version. Therefore, you must check the instructions attached to your specific brand of Pitcher Mould before cleaning.
Put the pitchers together: The pitchers are done, the screen is ready, and it’s time to put the pitchers back together. Pour water into the edge of the pitcher, and then disperse it to remove residual carbon dust. It should be repeated at least twice. Before you stop, make sure you see clear water, which means that the water is carbon-free. The Pitcher Mould you use determines whether any other steps to reassemble the pitcher must be performed.
