Cleaning and maintenance of treatment cream pump: the secret to long-term use of equipment

With the rapid development of the skin care industry, treatment cream pump has become the choice of more and more consumers and brands due to its advantages of precise control of dosage, reduction of product contamination and improvement of care effect. However, like any other care tool, if the treatment cream pump is not properly cleaned and maintained during daily use, it may not only affect its function, but also bring potential risks to skin health. Therefore, regular cleaning and meticulous maintenance are the key to ensure the long-term and effective operation of the treatment cream pump.

The importance of cleaning the treatment cream pump

As a skin care tool that directly contacts the skin, the cleaning of the treatment cream pump is crucial. If the pump head and bottle mouth are not cleaned in time, harmful substances such as residues of the treatment cream, dust in the air and bacteria will accumulate. As the use time increases, the pollutants inside the pump head may affect the effect of the treatment cream, and even cause skin discomfort or allergic reactions. Therefore, regular cleaning of the treatment cream pump can ensure its hygiene, extend its service life and maintain the effect of the product.

Cleaning steps for treatment cream pump

To ensure the long-term use and hygiene of the treatment cream pump, cleaning must be done properly. The following are standard steps for cleaning the treatment cream pump, which can help you thoroughly clean the equipment and ensure that the product is pure and effective every time you use it.

Disassemble the treatment cream pump

The step in cleaning is to remove the treatment cream pump from the bottle. Most treatment cream pumps are connected to the bottle mouth by twisting or pressing. To avoid damage, be gentle and careful when operating. Make sure that the connection between the pump head and the bottle mouth is not stuck, press or twist with moderate force, and separate the pump head from the bottle after disassembly.

Remove the residual treatment cream from the pump head

After removing the pump head, the thing to do is to remove the cream residue inside the pump head. You can gently wipe the outside and inside of the pump head with a paper towel or clean cloth to remove as much treatment cream residue as possible. Since treatment creams usually contain oily ingredients, residue may adhere to the surface of the pump head. Wiping with a paper towel or cloth can help clean these stubborn residues.

Soak the pump head and bottle in warm water

After removing and cleaning the surface residue, soak the pump head and bottle in warm water. The water temperature should not be too high. It is recommended to be between 30°C and 40°C. This can effectively remove the residual cream without damaging the material of the pump head. Soak the pump head and bottle for about 5 to 10 minutes to loosen the cream and dirt.

Clean with a mild detergent

For stubborn residues that are difficult to remove, you can add a small amount of mild detergent, such as baby detergent or neutral detergent. Never use strong chemical cleaners, as they may damage the material of the pump head and even affect the effect of the treatment cream. Use a soft brush or cotton swab to gently scrub the pump head and bottle mouth, making sure to clean every detail. Avoid using too much force when cleaning to avoid damaging the seal of the pump head.

Thoroughly rinse the pump head and bottle

After using the detergent, be sure to thoroughly rinse the pump head and bottle with plenty of clean water to ensure that there is no detergent residue. If detergent remains on the pump head, it may have adverse effects on the skin, so thorough rinsing is the key.

Wipe the pump head and bottle with a clean cloth

After cleaning, gently wipe the pump head and bottle with a clean paper towel or cloth to remove moisture from the surface. Be careful not to wipe with a too rough cloth to avoid damaging the surface of the pump head. Especially the nozzle part of the pump head, be especially careful to keep it clean and avoid clogging.

Dry naturally

Put the cleaned pump head and bottle on a clean, dry towel and dry naturally. Make sure that each part is thoroughly dry, especially the inner part of the pump head. If the moisture is not completely evaporated, bacteria or mold may grow, affecting the hygiene of the next use. The drying process takes a certain amount of time. It is not recommended to use a fan or hair dryer to accelerate the drying process to avoid deformation of the material.

Reassemble the treatment cream pump

After all parts are completely dry, the pump head and the bottle body can be reassembled in the correct order. Make sure that the pump head is tightly connected to the bottle body and will not loosen or leak. Each time you assemble, check the function of the pump head to ensure that there is no blockage or leakage. After reassembly, the treatment cream pump can continue to be used.

The importance of regular cleaning

Cleaning is an important part of the maintenance of the treatment cream pump, but it is more important to clean it regularly. The frequency of cleaning depends on the use. The following cleaning cycles are recommended:

When used frequently: If the treatment cream pump is used every day, it is recommended to clean it thoroughly every two weeks. This ensures that the cream residue inside the device will not accumulate and prevent bacteria from growing.

When used occasionally: If the frequency of use is low, it is recommended to clean it at least once a month to ensure the hygiene of the pump head and the bottle mouth.

Regular cleaning not only helps to keep the equipment hygienic, but also reduces the risk of equipment failure and ensures the effectiveness and safety of each use.

1. Avoid excessive pressure on the pump head: When using, avoid frequent and excessive pressure on the pump head. Excessive pressure may accelerate the wear of the pump head and affect the pumping effect.
