How to Clean Your Misto

My mom bought us the Misto so that we wouldn't waste money on cooking spray. The Misto is really great for saving you a penny on buying the latter so often. Let's face it... those sprays don't stay alive for very long before you have to buy another. They're sold in 3 packs at Costco, if I'm not mistaken.
The only thing about the Misto vs store bought cooking spray is the fact that you have to clean the darn thing. It's not as difficult as I thought. It's well worth it. You need to make sure you clean it every so often so that it doesn't clog. If you're me, you didn't clean yours very often and have owned it for awhile. My Misto was clogged so much so that I couldn't use it, therefore I HAD to clean it. :( Now my Misto is as good as new and I know how to clean the sucker.. finally!



Directions: 

1. Fill your Misto to the fill line with hot tap water
2. Add dish soap to water and shake to mix water and soap
3. Pump 10-15 times 
4. Spray for 10 seconds
5. Allow soapy water to stay in sprayer overnight to break down oils in the sprayer

6. Rinse out Misto

7. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 6 with new hot water. 

8.Fill up with oil and use! 

How to Clean Your Keurig

Cleaning your Keurig is a lot simple than you'd think. I got to the point where I was tired of having my tea tasting exactly like my coffee. I know that’s so gross! After a year of being a Keurig owner, I decided that we should probably take a stab at cleaning the damn thing!

What you’ll need:

-White vinegar (lots of it- I bought 2 jugs of it from the dollar store)

-Water (Lots of it)

-Patience (Lots of it)

-Clean toothbrush for cleaning/paper towels

-Large bowl

Directions:

1.      Empty out the water from water reservoirs and fill with vinegar

2.      Let vinegar sit in reservoir for about 5 minutes

3.      Brew hot cups of vinegar through your Keurig machine in to large bowl ( this will take up A LOT of time)

4.      Dump filled bowl as necessary

5.      After emptying the reservoir of the vinegar fill it twice with water getting rid of all of the vinegar  into large bowl

6.      Clean the needle of the Keurig with water and wipe thoroughly with a damp paper towel

7.      Clean surroundings of K-Cup area as well with toothbrush and damp paper towel

8.      Fill up your reservoir and enjoy a fresh tasting cup of joe or tea again!

It's screaming... "CLEAN ME!!"

The crap I was drinking! Yuck!

Cleaning the Keurig was extremely simple. I felt so bad waiting a year before I started to clean it . Whoops! Lessoned learned. No MORE coffee flavored tea for me! I will probably do this more often so that the Keurig is fresh and always clean. Why not right?
