thoroughly with cool tap water. While rinsing,
remove any excess dirt by wiping the canister

teaspoon (approximately 5 mL) of dish soap
with approximately 4 L of cool tap water. Fully
submerge canister and lid in the solution. Allow it
to sit for a minimum of ten (10) minutes. While
submerged, use a soft brush (e.g., toothbrush) to
brush all accessible areas of the canister and lid
for a minimum of one (1) minute to remove any
visible signs of debris or dirt.
Rinse: Rinse the canister and the lid thoroughly
with cool tap water until there is no visible sign
of the cleaning solution.
Visual inspection:
Inspect the canister and the
lid to ensure that all debris and dirt have been
removed. If there is any sign of debris or dirt,
repeat steps above until there is no sign of debris
or dirt remaining on the canister and lid.
Disinfection: Fully submerge the canister and lid
in 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Allow it to sit for
a minimum of ten (10) minutes.
Rinse: Rinse the canister and the lid thoroughly
with cool tap water.
