Keurig Question

‎07-22-2017 08:24 AM

Hi, I have stored a Keurig for 2yrs and wondering if it's ok to use. I moved and remember hearing water in an internal tank that I couldn't get out. Does anyone know if I should use it again?  Thanks!

I would add water and white vinegar, to flush the tank, you can find a lot of different methods on line

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

The best idea!  Definitely white vinegar.  You have to rinse real good, but it is totally safe instead of using a bunch of chemicals.

I use my Keurig every day - and I clean it this way periodically, in fact I just did it the other day

You can try using vinegar, but you may have chunks of biofilm and bacteria coming out for a while. Personally, I'd either use the chemical cleaners and rinse REALLY well...or get a new one. They have to be used regularly or the stagnant water will breed nasty things
