How do I clean and maintain Laundry Pump?Updated 2 days ago
TL;DR: Rinse the Laundry Pump nozzle in warm water weekly. Avoid bleach, alcohol, vinegar concentrates and strong solvents. Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dry spot with the head locked when it's not in use. Looked after that way, it's rated for around 3,000 presses.
How do I clean and maintain Laundry Pump?
✓ Three steps, once a week
Lock and remove. Lock the pump head down and unscrew it from the bottle.
Flush in warm water. Dip the tube and nozzle in a cup of warm water and press 5 to 6 times to flush the residue through.
Reinstall and unlock. Shake off the excess water, screw it back onto the bottle, and unlock the head ready for use.
What should I do and avoid for long pump life?
✓ Good habits
Rinse the nozzle weekly in warm water. Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dry spot, and lock the head when it's not in use or when you're travelling. Regular care is what gets you to the around 3,000 presses the mechanism is rated for.
⚠ Avoid
Keep bleach, alcohol, vinegar concentrates and strong solvents away from the pump. They can damage the metal spring and plastic actuator inside and cut its life short. Don't force the head when you press it either. Warm water is all it needs.
What if the pump still isn't working?
✓ Pump not dispensing?
Prime it by pressing several times. Still stuck? Soak the nozzle in warm water for 5 minutes to dissolve the residue, then prime again. Most flow problems come down to residue, not a faulty mechanism.
✓ Need a fresh head?
