Instruction

Rinse hydration system with mild soap and hot water before first use and after each use.
To freshen, add 2 teaspoons of baking soda to a full system of water and let soak overnight. Rinse well.
To sanitize, add 2 teaspoons of bleach to a full system of water and let soak overnight. Rinse well.
The use of liquids other than water will accelerate mold growth and will require more frequent cleaning.
