Cleaning your Keurig with a cleaning kit is pretty easy. You can get a Keurig-approved kit at the store or grab this one on Amazon.
To get started you want to turn the Keurig off. Remove any water filters you have in your Keurig.
Then pore the descaling solution into the Keurig where you normally add water. Refill the solution bottle with more water and dump that in too.
Turn the Keurig back on and run a rinsing brew making sure you have a cup or mug below to catch the water. Continue to run a brew until the water light turns on.
Once your add water light is on then set a timer for 30 minutes and let the Keurig soak. This will allow the descaling solution to sit in the machine and remove the hard water build-up and any limescale.
After 30 minutes then dump out any remaining solution and thoroughly wash out the water container.
Once you have washed the water container you will want to refill the container with fresh water and continue to run a rinsing brew to remove the descaling solution from the Keurig.
Keurig recommends running 12 brews of water through after using the solution so you may have to refill your water container.
Once you have run all the freshwater through you can replace your Keurig water filter and wipe down the outside of your Keurig.
If you clean your Keurig and you can’t get the descale light to go off there is an easy trick. Just hold down the 8 oz. and 10 oz. buttons at the same time for 5 seconds and it will reset the descale light on the Keurig.
Cleaning your Keurig is a simple task that only takes a little while. Try to clean your Keurig every few months for the best results. Looking for other cleaning tips? Check out the easiest way to clean your food processor.
