How do I clean it regularly?
✓ Three steps
Rinse the pump head and straw under warm water after each use to clear residue.
If clogged, soak the pump head in warm soapy water for a few minutes.
Pump clean water through until it runs clear. Store dry between uses to prevent build-up.
✓ After each use
A quick warm water rinse keeps the pump mechanism clear and Dishwashing Liquid flowing smoothly. Store dry between uses.
⚠ Signs of buildup
Slow dispense, inconsistent dose, or sticky pump action usually mean residue has dried inside. Soak the head in warm soapy water, then pump clean water through until clear.
