Your Advice to the Customer: Bombilla maintenance is a habit.

Bombilla maintenance

There are times when drinking yerba mate on a daily basis becomes so much of a habit that we
we forget the basic rules of care of the dishes used for it. Let's take a look
on how to properly care for bombillas, which are tubes with a filter screen. They help
perfectly strain the dry and consume the yerba without the risk of swallowing the grounds. And holly leaves
are characterized by a lot of green dye content, also their amount in the matero
each time affects the condition of the bombilla. Therefore, remember the first rule right now: don't
leave it in the dish after you finish drinking mate!

Cleaning the bombilla on a daily basis

After removing the bombilla from the matero, thoroughly scrub the inside with the
cleaner or cutter, and also rinse under water. Clean by rotating the cleaner several times
and reaching the strainer with it as well - so it is best if it is unscrewed. However, if it cannot be
separate from the tube, and for each type of bombilla as a treatment at least once in
week, we recommend soaking the bombilla in water with baking soda and acid
lemon. This is a process that requires a bit more work, but results in a shiny bombilla,
which will serve us much longer.

Maintenance of the bombilla in solution
In a large pot, prepare a solution: pour in water, two teaspoons of soda
purified and a teaspoon of citric acid. Place a bombilla on the bottom of the pot and
begin to slightly boil the whole thing - bubbles will appear, and the sediment from the tube will gradually
detached. Therefore, the process requires at least 15 minutes of cooking. Later we pour
solution, while the bombillas are rinsed under running water. Then we cook it again,
but already in water alone, without any additives. This will allow to get rid of the specific,
sterile smell of soda and acid. Clean bombillas are usable - they will filter without
of the complaint and look nice not only on the outside, but especially on the inside!
However, remember to really robustly maintain them - regularly. Yes, until it enters your
habit, especially if you drink yerba mate infusion daily!
