I generally just pump oxi through and leave it soak for a while. Then disassemble and rinse.

Same here.

Lidl oxy. The stronger the solution the better the result on stubborn grime. 1 scoop in my burco noiler with 20l water at 70c does a great job on bottles, however for stubborn grime make a dilution 1 scoop half litre at 70c and pretty much anything will dissolve including ur hands so wear proper gloves with this stuff. When finished add ur mix to a 19 litres water at 70c and start washin ur bottles:-)

Pull a pea sized chunk of foam off a scrubby and inset it into the end of the syphon and pump some cleaning fluid through it. The fluid pushes the foam ball through the tubing, cleaning as it goes. Make sure it's not too big or it'll jam in the bend.
