This is because these products are gentle cleansers which get rid of germs yet aren\u2019t toxic. Utilizing a chlorine bleach product is not recommended, since you are probably going to be using your equipment to store food for a long period of time so the last thing you want are chemicals leaching onto the food and packaging and making you sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/blue-background-with-soap-foam-and-rubber-gloves-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Background with Soap, Foam and Rubber Gloves\" class=\"wp-image-420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/blue-background-with-soap-foam-and-rubber-gloves-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/blue-background-with-soap-foam-and-rubber-gloves-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/blue-background-with-soap-foam-and-rubber-gloves-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/blue-background-with-soap-foam-and-rubber-gloves-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/blue-background-with-soap-foam-and-rubber-gloves.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Precautions\"><\/span>Basic Precautions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Always unplug the equipment before cleaning especially if using sprays or water and, of course, it goes without saying you dont want to put it into the dishwasher \u2013 I have actually heard of people doing that \u2013 or immerse it fully in water as, guess what, there are sensitive electronics in there that will get damaged. Instead, use a damp cloth, sponge, or towel in order to clean the surfaces safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/colorful-dishwasher-detergent-tablet-for-dishwashing-machine--1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful dishwasher detergent tablet for dishwashing machine.\" class=\"wp-image-421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/colorful-dishwasher-detergent-tablet-for-dishwashing-machine--1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/colorful-dishwasher-detergent-tablet-for-dishwashing-machine--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/colorful-dishwasher-detergent-tablet-for-dishwashing-machine--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/colorful-dishwasher-detergent-tablet-for-dishwashing-machine--1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/colorful-dishwasher-detergent-tablet-for-dishwashing-machine-.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Don&#8217;t use a dishwasher &#8211; please!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you thoroughly clean the switches, the vacuum tubes and the main surface areas as there are the parts where most of the food debris and juices will collect. Many of these places can also trap airborne dirt and dust as well as germs, which, of course you dont don\u2019t want anywhere near your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rinse_Clean\"><\/span>Rinse Clean<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have cleaned all of the components using water and a gentle soap, check each area thoroughly and rinse with clean water if required. This will remove any soap residue that can result in the equipment degrading over time. Keep in mind, never to use too much water. Put just enough on a rag or sponge to wash away any left over detergent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flowing-water-from-a-modern-designer-chrome-water-tap-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Flowing water from a modern designer chrome water tap\" class=\"wp-image-422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flowing-water-from-a-modern-designer-chrome-water-tap-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flowing-water-from-a-modern-designer-chrome-water-tap-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flowing-water-from-a-modern-designer-chrome-water-tap-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flowing-water-from-a-modern-designer-chrome-water-tap-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flowing-water-from-a-modern-designer-chrome-water-tap.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>rinse your vacuum food sealer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After carefully cleaning your vacuum <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/what-is-a-vacuum-food-sealer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"food sealer\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">food sealer<\/a>, it\u2019s time for the next step.
