Cleanliness is the nigh integral aspect of cloning to ensure cuttings successfully take root. Leaving your cloner to sit down around and collect bacteria can pb to a fungal growth that will wipe out your clones faster than you idea possible.

FREQUENCY OF CLEANING

We recommend that y'all clean your unit after every cloning bicycle. Additionally, if you've had your TurboKlone® stored for any amount of time, nosotros recommend yous give information technology a thorough cleaning before placing your cuttings into the organization.

CLEANING YOUR RESERVOIR
To offset, mix up a cleaning solution in a 5-gallon bucket. In that location are several plant-friendly cleaning products out there, but we notice the best results with a 30:1 mixture of Water (H2O) to Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). Your standard grocery store peroxide works smashing.

Start by removing the hat from your system (make sure you as well remove the stem collars) and put it bated on a tarp. Next, remove the pump and manifold, setting them next to the lid and empty reservoir. Once everything is laid out and disassembled, use a sponge or brush to scrub the inside of the lid and reservoir with your cleaning solution. Later on thoroughly scrubbed, dump out any remaining solution and rinse with clean water. Set up your bucket of cleaning solution aside for the next step.

CLEANING YOUR STEM COLLARS
We recommend you supercede your clone collars betwixt each bicycle but if you do cull to reuse them, don't do so for more than a few cycles. With repeated reuse of your collars, you run the chance of bacteria and other contaminants (stuck within the nooks and crannies) spreading into your new cycle. That existence said, we empathise y'all may not desire to buy new collars for each cycle... Here is our recommendation on the best way to make clean them. That saucepan of cleaning solution y'all saved... dump all of your collars into that bucket of solution and let them soak for viii hours. Once they are washed soaking, it'south important to scrub out the inside of the collars with a pipe cleaner or bottle brush. Lay them on your tarp and hose them down with make clean water. Flip and repeat.


CLEANING YOUR PUMP, MANIFOLD, AND SPRAY JETS
The best fashion to make clean out the inner components of your unit of measurement is to mix up another batch of cleaning solution and run it through your system after each cycle. Yes, the same mixture of thirty:1 Water (H2o) to Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) y'all used to scrub out your chapeau and reservoir.
Fill your reservoir with water and add the appropriate ratio of hydrogen peroxide (this will change depending on the unit of measurement being used). Once the unit is filled with the cleaning solution, plug in your pump and permit it to cycle the solution throughout the cloner for 8 hours. Although we usually recommend running it for a full day, a minimum of 8 hours will suffice. Later the cleaning wheel, empty the reservoir and drain the contents of the pump and manifold as thoroughly as possible. Echo this entire procedure with clean water and bleed as before.
