How do I clean pumps?

Compulsory cleaning & maintenance:

• Proper cleaning and maintenance will promote trouble-free operation of the MONIN Pump.
• Always clean pumps on a daily basis.
• Make sure plastic dip tube is fully seated into body of the pump before using.
• Always make a complete push.  Pumps will lose performance if partial pushes are dispersed.
• Once you have emptied the MONIN bottle, clean the pump immediately and carefully. The pump will be safe until used again.

Disassembly for cleaning:

1. Unscrew pump at the cap from the bottle.
2. Place the pump in warm, soapy water.
3. Pump many times to empty the remaining liquid.
4. Rinse carefully with clean water and pump until the water is clear.
5. Remove the pump from the water and pump again until the water is replaced with air.
6. Remove tube and shake to eliminate excess water and allow to dry.
7. Store in a safe place ready for  next use.

Note: do not clean pump in automatic dishwasher as valving could be damaged by high water temperature. Pumps can be re-used between same flavour products only.

There should not be any extra customs charges for you to pay.  We are shipping the MONIN  products to you from our UK facility after  having imported them from France and already clearing customs and paying the associated fees..

Why is there sometime a ring / sediment on the inside of a Le Sirop de MONIN fruit  bottle?

This may be caused by any naturally occurring fruit oils, pulp or pectin contained in the MONIN fruit flavouring which should dissolve once shaken and is not a cause of concern.
