Therefore, regular and thorough cleaning and maintenance are critical steps to ensure the proper functioning of your lotion pump and product safety.
1. Steps and techniques for cleaning lotion pump:
Preparation: Before cleaning, remove the lotion pump from its container and completely empty the pump of any remaining lotion. You can turn the lotion pump upside down and gently press out the remainder.
Break down the lotion pump: Most lotion pumps are composed of pump body, piston, sealing ring and nozzle. Depending on the pump type, carefully disassemble it according to the instructions, and be careful to save each small part to avoid loss.
Clean the pump body: Rinse the pump body with warm water to remove most residues. You can add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent and gently brush the inner and outer walls with a soft brush to remove grease and sediment.
Clean other parts: For small parts such as pistons and sealing rings, it is recommended to clean them manually to avoid damage due to strong friction. Also use a mild detergent to gently scrub and rinse with clean water.
Disinfection: After all parts are cleaned, 75% medical alcohol can be used for disinfection, or high-temperature steam sterilization can be used to ensure complete sterilization.
Inspection and maintenance: During the cleaning process, pay attention to observe whether the components are worn or deformed. If damaged, it should be replaced in time to prevent leakage or failure to work properly.
Reassemble the lotion pump: After all parts are dry, reassemble the lotion pump in reverse order of disassembly. Make sure each part is installed properly and the pump moves smoothly.
Functional test: After the reorganization is completed, perform several pressing tests to check whether the lotion pump can work normally and pay attention to whether there is any leakage.
2. Maintain routine operation of the lotion pump
Periodic cleaning: Clean and maintain the lotion pump regularly based on frequency of use. It is generally recommended to perform a thorough cleaning at least once a week.
