DON'T STRESS OVER YOUR STEAM WAND'S INNER WALLS!
Out of sight, out of mind. That's your steam wand's inner walls. Sure, you purge after steaming milk, but did you know that mineral deposits on the inner walls can prevent a complete purge? As the machine cools down, a partial vacuum is formed in the system which can result in the residual milk residue getting sucked up towards and eventually into the boiler.
The Steamy Wanda is designed to get in there to clean out that gunk and get you back to steaming perfectly textured milk. It's also great for cleaning portafilter spouts and other nooks and crannies!
NOTE: Avoid untwisting the wire on the Steamy Wanda by always using an up and down motion when cleaning.

What do I do with the Steamy Wanda?
Use Steamy Wanda to scrub the insides of your steam wand. Even if you use steam to regularly blow-out milk residue from your steam wand, rust and hard water deposits can accumulate on the inner walls. Use Steamy Wanda to regularly clean this accumulation out. The Steamy Wanda also can be used when cleaning your portafilter handles. Use the Steamy Wanda to scrub the hard to reach spout areas.How do I hold Steamy Wanda?
Place the plastic handle in your hand. Allow the twisted wire to lay between your index and middle fingers. Now make a fist and you are ready to go.IMPORTANT: When cleaning inside the steam wand NEVER turn the Steamy Wanda to the left (counter clockwise) or the twisted wire can untwist, loosening the bristles.
Will the large (RED) version work on my small diameter wands?
Yes, It will work, but the small version will work better. The bristle ends are stiffer and work better straight than the oversized bristles which are bent to fit in the smaller orifice.Will the small (GREEN) version work in my large diameter wand?
No, the small version won't even touch the sides of the larger diameter wands.Not for use with insulated steam wands. Please check with the manufacturer of your machine for important information about steam wand maintenance and cleaning specific to your machine. Some insulated steam wands have special configurations that require a very different protocol.
