Mill Cleaning

The Flower Mill was designed to operate with basic cleaning (guide here), but at some point you may need to detail it.

✅ Tools

• 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
• Soft plastic bristle brush (non-abrasive)
• Microfiber cloth
• Glass or plastic dish for soaking
• PPE (gloves & goggles)
  

✅ Cleaning

1.  Remove loose plant material using a soft brush.
2.  Disassemble the mill entirely.
3.  Fully submerge in isopropyl alcohol & agitate to remove air pockets
4.  Soak for up to 10 minutes.
5.  Gently scrub deposits with a soft brush.
6.  Remove from alcohol.
   
7.  Wipe clean with a soft towel.
   1.  If there are stubborn deposits, repeat steps 3-7.
      
8.  Air dry for one hour or until all liquid has evaporated.
9.  Reassemble the mill.

✅ Apply Mill Wax after cleaning

• Keeps it turning smooth as silk
• Extends time between full cleanings
• Improves long term wear resistance

❌No harsh chemicals

• Nail polish removers
• Glass, drain, oven cleaners
• Paint thinner, methanol, gasoline

❌Don't use abrasives

• Scotch-Brite & scrubs pads can scratch the finish

❌Not dishwasher safe

• Not even the top rack!

❌No microwave or oven drying

• Towel and air dry only

❌Don't boil

• High temperatures will warp parts and damage the finish
