    DO NOT USE UNDILUTED VINEGAR TO CLEAN! I watched this video so that I could clean my keurig. I filled the reservoir halfway with vinegar, ran 2 cycles & now it won’t turn on. I did more research that you need to dilute the vinegar with water because the vinegar alone has way too much acidity & it can ruin the mechanisms. now I have to get a new coffee maker! please make it know that you need to dilute the vinegar in the reservoir before running a brew cycle.

    Pro tip: Fill the machine with 3/4 vinegar the rest with water cycle the machine until you start to see a drip. Turn it off. Let it sit overnight. I’m in the morning finish the cycle and run to four containers of hot water through it.. letting the vinegar sit allows it to break up the hard water build up it off insides the water line.

      Probably because there's a reservoir that always holds water. Disassembling it way further than this video demonstrates is the only way to clean that.

  • @sn7miller
    @sn7miller 2 роки тому +17

    I've read that on the rinse cycle, to get Vinegar completely out, best to use distilled water which won't have the minerals left behind. Also, the rinse should be repeated at least 6 times! Here's an article that says 12 times, which seems over kill, but it was a credible source "Good housekeeping"
    "Empty and rinse the reservoir thoroughly. Fill it to the MAX line with fresh water and perform 12 rinsing brews using the largest brew size to remove any traces of vinegar or descaling solution"

I have tried multiple tiny bottle brushes but because there is so much “gunk” it won’t touch it. Any ideas / suggestions would be appreciated.

      I haven’t found anything to help as well, so I tried something myself. I took Q-tips and tried to clean it that way. I swiped up whatever I could with them, and whatever it didn’t pick up, it knocked it loose. After I finished with the Q-tips, I poured water down where the K-cups go and it went through the machine and down into a cup. I repeated this several several times (times will vary depending how bad the buildup is) and it helped clean the build up quite a bit. You can see all the build up fall into the cup while pouring the water and the water get cleaner and cleaner till clear 😊
