I don't know how often you are to clean your steam wand but 192 uses/bottle seems like enough to get you through awhile. I keep my 12.5 year old machine in pretty good condition with regular maintenance and cleanings but never thought about steam wand gunk build up. Had I been more thoughtful prior to initial use I would have tore my machine down to inspect for build up that needed to be irradicated. alas, I did not do that. I can say however that after a cleaning following the simple instructions, I appear to be build up free so either this solution works wonders or I had no build up to begin with but at 2-3 milk based drinks per day over the course of more than a decade I bet I had something gross in there. I did not notice any weird residue on or in my wand and it did not seem to impart any off tastes to my next cup. I purged the wand a little longer than normal just in case and it seemed to rinse away without a trace. I did deduct a star for ambiguity on its country of origin with conflicting claims of "made in USA" and "imported by..." as seen in the pictures Read more

When I steam milk with my espresso machine I often find it hard to get the crusty residue off the wand - especially if in my rush to drink my delicious coffee, I don't wipe the wand off promptly. This 32 oz bottle of steam wand cleaner should last awhile since you only use 1/2 tsp each time - in fact the bottle proudly proclaims 192 uses per bottle! I am unsure what is in this potion since the ingredients are not listed, which I guess is not required since it isn't a consumable. However it does say to call poison control if ingested. The cleaner is made in the USA. Cleaning the wand is a bit of a process. You dilute the solution in a steamer mug with water, steam the water for 30 seconds then wipe the wand. Next you need to rinse the mug, fill with water and steam just water for 30 seconds. I assume this second step removes any residue from the cleaner. As far as effectiveness it worked great for almond milk and dairy milk. I often steam a protein drink and it did not work as well to remove that residue. This is definitely an extra step and I am not sure I will clean the wand this way each time, but will probably implement it into my weekly machine cleaning routine. Hopefully it will also help with any buildup inside the steaming wand. Read more
