Stains and residues on your tea equipment might seem commonplace, but they can leave your beverages bitter or sour. A clean brewer is essential to great-tasting tea, which will lead to increased sales on an incredibly high-margin product.  

**How Often Should I Clean My Tea Brewer? **   
Ideally, you’ll want to clean your tea dispenser daily to prevent buildup, as well as maintain intended flavors. For loose parts like brew baskets, lids and spigots, cleaning once a week is optimal.

1. Drain and rinse the dispenser. <https://www.purdyproducts.com/products/tea>
2. Fill the dispenser with warm water and add [Sani-Tea](https://www.purdyproducts.com/products/tea).   
   (Dilution Amounts: 1 packet (1.5 oz.) per 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) warm water provides 100 PPM chlorine. 2 packets (3.0 oz.) per 3.0 gallons (11.4 liters) warm water provides 100 PPM chlorine.)
3. Soak for 2 minutes, or overnight for heavily soiled equipment. Scrub as necessary. 
4. Drain solution through spigot, and allow dispenser to dry. 
5. After brewing, draw one serving of tea and discard to re-season equipment.

How Do I Clean Loose Tea Equipment? (Brew Baskets, Lids, Spigots)

1. Mix 1 packet of [Sani-Tea](https://www.purdyproducts.com/products/tea) in 1.5 gallons of warm water. 
2. Remove any parts you wish to clean from the dispenser, and soak for at least 2 minutes, or overnight for heavily soiled parts. 
3. Allow parts to dry, then reassemble. 

Check the Results!   
A single application of [Sani-Tea](https://www.purdyproducts.com/products/tea) can remove stains and residues that make a big impact on the flavor integrity of your tea.

**What About Tea Liners?    
**While it’s tempting to neglect cleaning and use disposable tea liners, there are several reasons to opt for a proper cleaner and sanitizer.

Sanitation  
While a liner might prevent some stains, not all parts are preserved. Notably, you will still need to clean your brew basket and spigot. A proper cleaning solution process is safer and more efficient, while adding minimal labor.

Cost  
Tea liners might save a small amount of time, but the ongoing cost of purchasing disposable liners adds up tremendously, especially when compared to the small amount of solution used with a cleaner/sanitizer like [Sani-Tea](https://www.purdyproducts.com/products/tea). 

Environment   
For those striving to reduce waste, the choice is clear. A small amount of [Sani-Tea](https://www.purdyproducts.com/products/tea) goes above and beyond to clean and sanitize, with a fraction of the plastic waste.
