How to clean the Sprouter and its parts?
Cleaning Sprouter Trays: The black sprouting trays have grooves that grab onto the sprout roots. If the grooves are full of sprout toors and seeds, then cleaning can be done as following:
1. Rinse the trays under tap water with or without soap and brush them vigorously with a vegetable brush. Do not attempt to clean them perfectly at this time. Put the trays aside to dry, even with some roots still lodged in the grooves.
2. Dry brushing: Hours later, when both the trays and brush are dry, vigorously brush both sides of the trays again, but without any water. Most seeds and roots will fake off. A small amount of leftover seeds and roots is acceptable.
You may also wah your sprouting tray in the dishwasher. Make sure you locate it up high and away from the heating element. Sterilize your growing tray by dipping it for 2 minutes in hot water (as hot as a very hot cup of tea) if you suspect a houl harvest so as not to transfer any bad bacteria to teh next crop. You can also sterilize your tray by spraying it with hydrogen peroxide (available at drug stores) or diluted bleach. Sterilize for 10 minutes and then rinse throughtly.
