Is Your Office Coffee Pot Clean. It’s Time to Give It Some TLC

Coffee pots are welcomed and necessary additions to any office. After all, who can say no to a calming cup of coffee before the day starts or in the middle of a hectic schedule?

Weeks, months, and years pass by with your office coffee pot seeing lots of brewing actions day in and day out. Unfortunately, cleaning this trusted appliance is something that many businesses often overlook.

However, cleaning your office coffee pot should be done often for it to function well and continue to brew the best-tasting coffee.

Why Clean the Office Coffee Pot, Anyway?

Cleaning the appliances in your office break room is something that should be done regularly. The good news is that cleaning the coffee pot is an easy and simple task that can even make you and your employees happy once you get it done.

Giving the coffee pot a good clean will not only remove unwanted residues in the pot itself but in the water reservoir as well. A thorough cleaning will also get rid of any odors that already settled in.

To clean your coffee pot, you need to prepare a few supplies including white vinegar, cleaning cloths, a toothbrush, and warm water.

Steps to Deep Clean Your Office Coffee Pot and Coffee Maker

It may require some time to thoroughly clean your coffee pot but the process itself is easy. Just follow the steps below:

  1. White vinegar may be a bit smelly, but it can break down water deposits in the coffee pot and the coffee maker’s reservoir. Fill the reservoir with a half cup of white vinegar and a half cup of water. Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to run through a partial cycle.
  2. After half of the vinegar and water solution is brewed, turn off the coffee maker and allow it to soak for up to 60 minutes. Run the mixture through the pot and get rid of the solution.
  3. Fill the entire reservoir with clean water and run this through the coffee maker and ensure that the water becomes clear enough. Repeat the step as needed.
  4. Clean the filter basket and coffee pot in the dishwasher. You can also manually clean them by soaking them first in some water and vinegar. Get rid of water stains by scrubbing and drying the pot by hand. You can use a scrubby pad if you have one. Be gentle when using it to remove the buildup of coffee or water scales and other remaining stains. Clean the basket using the toothbrush as needed.
  5. Use more water and vinegar to wipe down the interior of the coffee maker and the burner as far as you can reach. This should be done a few times to get rid of the remnants of coffee on the surfaces.
  6. Air dry the machine. It should be done after brewing coffee every day to keep the interior free from mold and bacteria.

The easiest and simplest way to keep your business or office clean is to hire professional commercial cleaning services. Allow Courtesy Building Services Inc to work for you on a schedule that best suits your needs and budget!
