Cleaning Perlicks?

[Mayday99]

I know the Perlicks are more sanitary and all, but what do you guys do to clean them?

I hit them with some star san and a faucet brush every now and again in addition to running pbw solution through when I clean my kegs.

That's about it. You nailed it.

I use BLC to clean them. A quick soak, and perhaps a swab with a brush and all is well.

As others have said, StarSan is not a cleaner, but a sanitizer.

I disassemble my Perlick faucets every few kegs and thoroughly clean them. There is a certain amount of gunk that will build up on the nylon seat over time if you just rinse them.

You can completely disassemble, clean, and reassemble a Perlick 425 in less than 5 minutes. I'm sure other faucets are just as quick.
