Tips for Getting More Value Out of a Household Food Vacuum Sealer

• Bear in mind that when you use the vacuum sealer, you are usually dealing with food items. For this reason, you must clean the machine immediately to prevent bacteria, dust, and pests from finding a home inside the sealer. Ideally, you should clean the machine after every use.
• Cleaning your vacuum sealer is the first step to maintaining its efficient operation. If you leave soap residue after you clean, it could attract dirt and dust to the machine, which is a health risk.
• It’s advisable to wipe the device down twice to ensure that you don’t leave soap residue. Be sure that it is completely dry before storing it in a safe area, away from the elements. Avoid using harsh detergents in the sealer; this includes those that you extensively use to clean kitchen tops. They contain harmful chemicals which become a hazard. Instead, use a mild soap with a damp cloth. It’s imperative that you don’t use a wet cloth that is dripping with water as you could damage the machine’s electrical components.
