How to clean your Keurig

How to clean your Keurig

 

 

 

For the past few weeks I have noticed my cups of coffee getting smaller and smaller.  I kept thinking oh great my morning resuscitation device is on the fritz.  I thought I had the model that would tell you when its time to clean it but it never did.  I looked online and this is what I found.  I love this idea because I am trying to use more natural household cleaners.

Step 1. Open your windows (you will thank me later)

         2. Empty ALL water out of your Keurig

         3. Fill reserve tank with white distilled vinegar

         4. Run all the vinegar through your Keurig (Pickles anyone)

         5. Fill reserve tank with water and run through run all the water through one more time

          6. Fill reserve tank and you may now enjoy your full cup of hot coffee again.

           7. You may now close your windows.

Green Cleaners

For years I have thought about the effect that the everyday cleaners we use to say clean the bathrooms or to wash the counters in your kitchen.  Just recently I learned about vinegar being a good healthy green cleaner.  But who like the smell of vinegar?  I for one am not in the category of people who do.  So I was brainstorming and thought about the oils that are in citrus peels and how amazing they smell.

We go through a ton of citrus fruit around here.  I use lemon or lime in my water daily.  My husband loves oranges and grapefruits.  I started saving the peels from all this citrus fruit in a old spaghetti sauce jar.  When the jar was full of assorted peels I poured distilled vinegar over the peels.  Let it set for a few weeks to give the citrus time to break down in the vinegar.  After that I strained the peels and any pulp from the cleaner.  I then poured into a squirt bottle and added some water to the mixture to dilute just a bit more.  I can still smell the vinegar but it is not overwhelming and it has a nice citrus hint to it.  I think the next batch will have some lavender or rosemary.
