a.k.a. nobody cleaned them properly in a while 😭
these are beautiful

sadlyliss [OP] 25 points 1y ago

the lil spouts were just as bad!! 😭😭 i was DISGUSTED

joviante 22 points 1y ago

urnex is faster but not technically plastic safe. for plastics i soak in only hot water for AT LEAST 5 minutes and it just wipes out w a little work and a very slightly damp towel

cuervoescondido 11 points 1y ago

It says right on the packaging that Urnex is safe for plastic.

sadlyliss [OP] 6 points 1y ago

i unfortunately just saw both of your comments omg i'm so sorry! i rlly should read the packaging pls forgive me 🥲

joviante 4 points 1y ago

oop my apologies then

sadlyliss [OP] 7 points 1y ago

word! my shift lead said it was able to be used for plastics so i went with that, but i'm glad ik now that it's not! ty!!!

cuervoescondido 19 points 1y ago

Your shift supervisor was right. It says it right on the package. Check for yourself the next time you work, and don't listen to misinformed strangers on the internet.

joviante 5 points 1y ago

sorry i was following what my shift said 😣 thank you for correcting me!!

joviante 5 points 1y ago

i think it’s bc the plastic is more porous or something but i won’t tell anyone if you use it 🤫 (i still do on the reeeeally tough ones.)

sadlyliss [OP] 3 points 1y ago

thank u :') <333

Lost_Magician8935 20 points 1y ago

What’d you’d scrub these with??!

sadlyliss [OP] 42 points 1y ago

urnex!!! you have to rinse them a LOT before you can use it to serve to customers, but honestly it was so worth it 😭

bigghostb00ty 30 points 1y ago

Espresso bar pills work really well too

ThatBichAlex 10 points 1y ago

You’re not supposed to use them on plastic, it will erode over time

sadlyliss [OP] 7 points 1y ago

that is very interesting i will also have to try this 🤨

darkwolf523 7 points 1y ago

Really? I have to give that a try

bunnysbigcookie 11 points 1y ago

i second urnex! i would let these soak in urnex and hot water and go at them with any scrub brush. they get so clean after!

VentiSARnoH20 4 points 1y ago

I used saniwipes lol then rinse with the water from brewing

overturned23 1 points 1y ago

are we allowed to do that

ThatBichAlex 3 points 1y ago

You could technically bleach them if you want, you just have to wash it three times after that

Reddit_Deluge 11 points 1y ago

That should improve your purity to at least 96%… just rewatched breaking bad.

ZaftigZephyr 8 points 1y ago

I use the magic erasers and a lil elbow grease

sadlyliss [OP] 11 points 1y ago

magic erasers are genuine magic. idk how they work so good 😮‍💨

[deleted] 13 points 1y ago

Because they’re basically sandpaper

ihateyousoymatcha 22 points 1y ago

Also not food safe 🥲
We got flagged by the health department for using them

djdementia 6 points 1y ago

You can't use magic erasers on this or anything else that is containing food or drink. Those erasers are basically sanding off the protective layer of plastic.

ZaftigZephyr 2 points 1y ago

Well that sucks 😢

JibJab1994 7 points 1y ago

I find this deeply satisfying!

sadlyliss [OP] 4 points 1y ago

thank u so did i !! i was so excited ab it

FloridaUniversity 6 points 1y ago

You are A M A Z I N G!!

sadlyliss [OP] 5 points 1y ago

no YOU ARE !!!!

almondmiilktea 5 points 1y ago

Does this work the KSR because 🥴 everything is green

ihateyousoymatcha 9 points 1y ago

Not for much longer 🔥 🥝 ☠️

Either_Square4366 4 points 1y ago

I can’t wait for that. I’m so happy I hate the smell of it and the smell of the inclusions

overturned23 3 points 1y ago

IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE

Either_Square4366 1 points 1y ago

Yes it does to me it does I can’t wait for it to be gone

ihateyousoymatcha 2 points 1y ago

Wait y'all even still have it? We've been out for a month lol, we tossed the inclusions as soon as the update came out

Either_Square4366 1 points 1y ago

We still have a lot of holiday syrups last month we ran out of pumpkin spice

sadlyliss [OP] 3 points 1y ago

it's getting discontinued 😌😌😌 i've never been happier ab that ✨✨

_kendallian 2 points 1y ago

As far as I know nothing works for KSR but I have yet to try oven cleaner 😅🤔

joviante 2 points 1y ago

my store has urnexed the designated kiwi pitchers and it makes it slightly better but it’s still obviously green

violentfemme17 4 points 1y ago

Magic erasers, aka melamine sponges (if you need to order them) are orderable on IMS. They are Ecosure/QASA approved, and in my area, health department approved. They take off *everything and anything*.
I don’t like using harsh chemicals for everything cuz it sucks for my hands and tbh I prefer just water and magic erasers. Our urns look spotless and its v satisfying

Ze_eq 5 points 1y ago

They actually aren’t food safe, I didn’t know at first either. So just be careful with them lol

Either_Square4366 2 points 1y ago

They on sharpie drawings. Where I work almost everyone draws on the wood where our registers are placed

sadlyliss [OP] 1 points 1y ago

we don't have any at our store right now but i LOVE using them 😮‍💨😮‍💨 i just used the blue scrubby and wipes with a white towel after , but i just know the magic eraser would make things so much easier

Necessary_Low939 3 points 1y ago

I wonder how people clean them for it to get this stained.

vandilor 1 points 1y ago

toss em in the hobart. we don’t have enough time or extra pitchers to really do this 🥲

Necessary_Low939 1 points 1y ago

I mean ok but a general rinse and sanitize does the trick.

mypoopoosmelly69 3 points 1y ago

omg how how how i must do these when the store is slow

sadlyliss [OP] 4 points 1y ago

urnex! i let it sit there for five minutes before i took the blue scrubby and just scrubbed it 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Honest-Experience611 2 points 1y ago

love cleaning things for this reason lol

newday2001 2 points 1y ago

you guys have dish gloves and a plastic apron? 😕 my store is cheap as hell i am realizing with this page .

sadlyliss [OP] 1 points 1y ago

a lot of my coworkers raised hell about the sani-water giving them a rash :') i don't necessarily get affected to be honest, but i've been chemical burned by the oven cleaner so i tend to use lil plastic gloves if i'm touching any super chemical-y substance like urnex :') not a plastic apron tho! that would be cool and would be helpful for dishes 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Elliotisnotokay 2 points 1y ago

They look brand new omg 😍

Kmsss 2 points 1y ago

The last time a post about tea pitchers behind cleaned came on here y’all freaked out about labor. Careful around these parts.

sadlyliss [OP] 1 points 1y ago

to be fair,,, i literally had nothing better to do :') we had a five man closing shift so i was just very bored HAHA

tinydesthique 2 points 1y ago

can you work at my store PLEASE????

sadlyliss [OP] 2 points 1y ago

listen if i don't get this shift position .... i might just take u up on that

tinydesthique 2 points 1y ago

sheeessshhh say less 😮‍💨

SierraLVX 2 points 1y ago

Ohmygod, I didn't know you could get rid of those tea stains!

sadlyliss [OP] 2 points 1y ago

with enough elbow grease anything can take care of those tea stains 😌✨

iamnotabarbie 2 points 1y ago

It’s it’s…beautiful

sadlyliss [OP] 1 points 1y ago

thank you 🤩

EliMinivan 1 points 1y ago

Don't use urnex, not because it's bad for plastic, but because it sucks ass. Just get a magic eraser and it comes off super easy.

ihateyousoymatcha 11 points 1y ago

Lol we got flagged by OSHA and county health because magic erasers aren't food safe

All we got left are blue sponges and urnex.

darkwolf523 2 points 1y ago

Rip

EliMinivan 2 points 1y ago

Oh yeah, sponges and magic erasers aren't good for passing inspections. But it's worth it. Do it.

ihateyousoymatcha 2 points 1y ago

❤️❤️❤️

sadlyliss [OP] 2 points 1y ago

takin notes 📝 thank u ,, i will do that next time :D

Wonderful_Nightmare -7 points 1y ago

Restroom cleaner does the trick from what I've heard. Just rinse and soap really well after is what I was told.

sadlyliss [OP] 6 points 1y ago

oh yeah never use restroom cleaner! you don't want you or others to consume any amount of bleach !!!!! not good

melodiic_ 5 points 1y ago

ayo this is super unsafe, we don't use restroom cleaner or any kind of bleach on food/drink-contact surfaces!

I_love_stapler -1 points 1y ago

Wait till you find out 90% of restaurants/bars use bleach. Its only unsafe if you have stupid partners who don't properly clean the container after.

melodiic_ 1 points 1y ago

yeah, no. i'm a certified food safety manager at my store. using bleach on food surfaces violates not just starbucks standards, but literal health and safety guidelines. you Will fail QASA if they see you using bleach.

I_love_stapler -1 points 1y ago

That's nice and you can downvote me, but QASA is not a health code. Most states allow the use of bleach, it's common, cheap, and effective.
