The Essential Milk System Cleaner
Urnex Rinza tablets are specifically designed to remove milk residue, protein buildup, and calcium deposits from steam wands, automatic frothers, and milk systems. These fast-dissolving 4-gram tablets make cleaning simple, effective, and consistent—ensuring hygienic equipment and better-tasting milk beverages every time.
The Problem with Dirty Milk Systems: Milk proteins and fats build up inside steam wands, frother tubes, and valves. This creates perfect conditions for bacteria growth, causes off-flavors, reduces frothing performance, and can eventually clog equipment. Regular soap and water don't break down milk proteins effectively.
The Rinza Solution: Each tablet dissolves quickly in warm water, creating a powerful cleaning solution that breaks down milk proteins, removes calcium deposits, and eliminates residue—without harsh scrubbing or disassembly. Clean milk systems = hygienic equipment and delicious cappuccinos.

Why Milk System Cleaning Matters
Hygiene & Food Safety: Milk proteins create breeding grounds for bacteria. Regular cleaning with Rinza prevents contamination and ensures safe beverages.
Better Tasting Drinks: Old milk residue creates off-flavors and sour tastes. Clean systems mean pure, sweet milk flavor in every cappuccino and latte.
Consistent Performance: Buildup reduces steam pressure and frothing quality. Clean wands create silky microfoam consistently.
Equipment Longevity: Milk protein buildup can clog valves, damage seals, and cause expensive repairs. Regular Rinza cleaning extends equipment life.
Professional Standards: Health inspectors look for clean milk systems. Rinza helps you maintain commercial hygiene standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean my steam wand with Rinza? For home use, deep clean with Rinza every 3-5 days. For cafés, daily cleaning is recommended. Always wipe down steam wands after each use and purge before storage.
Can I use Rinza in superautomatic espresso machines? Yes! Rinza is safe for integrated milk systems in superautomatic machines. Follow your machine's milk system cleaning cycle instructions, using Rinza solution instead of plain water.
Is Rinza safe for food contact surfaces? Yes, when used as directed and rinsed thoroughly. Rinza is formulated for food service equipment. Always rinse components completely with clean water after cleaning.
