3. Weekly deep cleaning: Remove the steam wand tip and soak it in a cleaning solution to remove stubborn milk residue.

2. Remove the steam wand tip: Unscrew the steam wand tip from the steam wand of your espresso machine.
3. Soak the steam wand and tip: Place both the steam wand and the loosened tip in the container with the cleaning solution. Let these parts soak overnight to dissolve stubborn milk residue and grease.
4. Scrub with a brush: The next morning, use a cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the steam wand and tip.
5. Rinse with clean water: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue of the cleaning solution.
6. Dry the parts: Dry the steam wand and tip with a clean cloth before reassembling them to the espresso machine.
