Daily Care Of Steam Milk Frothers

Daily care of commercial steam milk frothers is crucial for the equipment's lifespan, milk froth quality, and hygiene and safety.

 

Wipe the steam wand immediately: After each milk frothing session, wipe the outside of the steam nozzle with a clean, damp cloth and briefly release steam (2-3 seconds of empty spray) to remove any residual milk from the tube and prevent coagulation and blockage.

 

Clean the steam nozzle: If the nozzle is detachable, remove it after each day's business hours and soak it in a dedicated cleaning solution, then rinse it clean with a soft brush or water.

 

Clean the condensate tray and platform: Empty the condensate from the tray, wash with clean water or a neutral detergent, and dry.

 

Weekly Descaling: If using tap water, it is recommended to clean the heating tank and steam boiler weekly with a food-grade descaling agent to prevent scale from affecting heating efficiency or causing malfunctions.

 

Check the water level and temperature sensors: Regularly clean the scale in the tank to ensure the sensors are working properly and prevent false alarms or overheating.
