How to Clean Your Keurig Without Chemicals
If you’ve been around here very long you know I love my coffee.
It’s one of the things I look forward to in the quiet of the morning before things get hectic and loud around here. But lately I’ve been noticing a bit of
well……GUNK in my Keurig when I insert the fresh pod each morning.
I’m super embarrassed to show you how nasty my coffee maker
really was but I want you to see this for a reason.
The last thing I want to think about is cleaning. I mean let’s face it I’ve got PLENTY
of other things to be painting I mean doing with my time. But a few mornings ago
when I looked at this I knew I had to do something.
I didn’t want to use chemicals to clean it for obvious reasons and while
I’ve heard you can clean a Keurig with vinegar, honestly that kinda grossed me out.
SOOOOOO I decided I’d break out my handy HomeRight Steamer and see if it would clean it.
I use this steamer ALL THE TIME….
I use it to steam my curtains.
I use it to clean my tile and hardwood floors.
It’s one of my favorite cleaning tools in our home. One of the reasons is because it is so versatile.
You see IT COMES APART like this….
and instantly you have a handheld steamer! No kidding! Genius!
It has so many fabulous little attachments that are perfect for cleaning hard to reach places….like in the Keurig!
You just add the straight adaptor to attach any of the various accessories to the handheld steamer and away you go!
Then fill the tank with water….
wait for the light to go from red,
to blue and you’re ready to steam!
As you can see I wasn’t kidding…this baby was DIRTY!
It literally took me about 10 minutes from start to finish to clean my Keurig!
And now it looks BRAND NEW!!!!! No chemicals! I’m so thrilled that it’s nice and shiny now that I think I’ll have a cup of joe to celebrate!!!!
Be sure and pour yourself a cup and enter the giveaway below so you can clean the simple, easy chemical free way!!!

🙂 Beth
Oh my goodness, what a great idea!! I really need to do this!
Debbie
my floors!
Beth,
I am really loving this Homeright steam. That is a great machine to have in your home for sure. I love that it can do more then one or two things. Awesome!
Great tip! I don’t think I would have thought to use it to clean a coffee maker! 🙂
Anna
Definitely my grandchildren room, along with the kitchen and bathroom and who knows what else loll
If I win, I want to clean EVERYTHING – my Keurig, the floors, my curtains, the couch… I never feel like I can get a deep clean in my house.
I will definitely clean my oven first! Thanks.
Cindy-you’d be amazed by it! It will make it sparkle!!!
🙂 Beth
What won’t I clean. I need a steam cleaner so bad! My kids are messy monsters, my hardwoods under my table look disgusting! The dried yogurt on our kitchen chairs, the tile in the mudroom. Oh my I need this for so many reasons. I love that it has attachments!
the little crevices in the kitchen (like around the stove– where grease gets into)
It’s perfect for that!
I will clean my bathroom and laundry room tiles
It’s GREAT for that!!!!
🙂 Beth
What wouldn’t I clean. I would use it to clean everything from my bathroom showers to my wood floors, mattresses, curtain, pretty much everything !
Ha Linda-You sound like me. The mattresses are next on the list. 🙂
Beth
I always wanted to get a steamer. I love to get rid of germs. I hope I get this to clean my kitchen and baths.
Ellen,
It’s really a great steamer. I’ve used others and they simply do not compare to this one. 🙂
Beth
What a great way to clean with just steam and no cleaners!!!!
Christina-it’s so great!!!
What a great idea! I would use it on my kitchen tile floor!
~Tami
Thanks Tami!
I would clean my tile floors and curtains, and especially the tile and shower!
Sally-it works GREAT for all of those!!!
🙂 Beth
That’s what I call thinking outside of the box! Now I can think of all kinds of uses for that steamer. Hope I win!
Thanks Kathy!!!
My mom has one of these steamers, and she’s been telling me I need one. We have all wood floors in our house, and I’d love to be able to clean them with a steamer! Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
You’re very welcome Angie! You’re mom is right. You’ll love it!
🙂 Beth
My stone floors could use a heavy duty cleaning! I would absolutely clean the Keurig, as well!!
Cecilia it works GREAT on floors! So quick and easy.
🙂 Beth
I would love to give my bathrooms a deep cleaning. This would be so helpful for disinfecting!
Hi Beverly-Yes it is!!!
🙂 Beth
We just got a huge – I mean HUGE – English Mastiff and even though I do about 84,000 loads of laundry a week , he’s still stinkin’ up my utility room. I think steaming the floors would be the PERFECT way to get that room clean…especially if I used a few drops of essential oils in there.
Leiah-I just spit my coffee laughing about 84,000 loads of weekly laundry!!!! Hilarious and so true!
🙂 Beth
I would love to clean my refrigerator and bathrooms
Theresa-it works great for that!
I would start with our bathroom grout
Perfect!
My entire house needs this. 3 dogs keep me cleaning all the time. Thanks for the opportunity.
You’re welcome Linda! Good luck!
If I won the HomeRight SteamMachine Plus, the first thing I would clean would be my oven. I would love to clean this without using harsh chemicals 🙂
Betsy-it’s GREAT for that!!!! 🙂
If I win, I will use the HomeRight Steamer to clean just about everything! However, the 1st thing I would clean is my oldest son’s bathroom from the bath tub to the floor and the sink counter area. Another priority would be my oven. Thank you so much for this wonderful giveaway!
Wow, that’s a great tip, Beth! I know my coffee maker could use a good cleaning. So could my hardwood floors! Thanks for the great ideas! ~ Angie
You’re welcome Angie! 🙂
I just got my first SteamMachine in the mail… my house smells amazing… and my floors are glowing! I have a 9 pound dog with 40 pounds of hair, so I’m super excited. I do have a vacation house… so I need another machine! It’s at the beach, so we have constant sand and salt on our hardwood floors. I can’t wait to use my SteamMachine over there!
Yippee Julia-if you win I’ll be happy to personally deliver the machine to your beach house! LOL!! Good luck friend!
Blessings,
Beth
I would steam my bathroom because my boys are always making it gross, but then I would steam clean my ENTIRE house!! I am drooling at the thought of all the different things that I can clean with this awesome machine….I even told my husband if I don’t win, he HAS to buy it for me!
Thanks for the information. I never thought of steaming my Keurig machine.
Everything in sight! 😉
I’d steam the kitchen tiles first 🙂
I would clean everything. I haven’t been able to do any deep cleaning for years because I have had severe back pain since 2003 & last Nov. had cervical spine surgery. I’m just now getting to where I can move to be able to clean & I just get so excited to see my small baby step progress. This would help to clean floors without putting anymore strain on my back & be able to clean things that I didn’t think I would ever be able to clean without calling a professional.
Everything!!!!
my kitchen floors
I honestly would clean my coffee pot with it AND the floors around the toilet….That area just grosses me out.
I would clean my stove. The grates on my stove never seem to look clean. I think the steam would do the trick and there’d be no harsh chemical odors.
I need to clean all my appliances.
Ooh….my keurig and the water dispenser on the fridge would be first..then after that, who knows!
I would clean my whole house – start on Spring cleaning early! I have two dogs that go in and out several times a day and they bring foot prints and dirt each time especially when it is raining. I can see that the steam cleaner could be used everywhere in my house from windows, wood floors, walls, tile floors… anywhere.
if i win, the first thing i tackle would be the kitchen floors. Having 5 fur-babies eating and drinking in there defiantly calls for a deep cleaning lol . thanks
I would like to win this steamer to clean my laundry room floor.
I’ve never gotten one of the steam machines because they don’t work well on my waxed concrete floors. Now that I know this one can do more than floors, I may have to reconsider. Thanks for an informative post.
My bathroom and my art studio!
I will clean everything in my kitchen and bathrooms/ Plus all my curtains in the house.
My hard wood floors! but I will still try it on my Keurig!
We have cheap windows in our house and the tracks especially at the bottom are always getting dirty and sometimes get a bunch of mold from all of the condensation. I would use the steam cleaner to clean out the tracks around the windows first. There are a lot of other things around the house that this steam cleaner would be excellent for cleaning.
I would use it to clean the grout around the sink s in the bathroom and kitch, the oven, ect!
Everything!!
When I saw the picture of the tile, I wondered if it would work for my shower tiles. They’re about the same texture,
and also, my Keurig machine is a little different model than that, and I’m sure it could use a cleaning too. I’ve had it now for 2 years now, and never cleaned as of yet. I would love to win one of these things, so I could try it on my shower tiles and see if it would help with the soap deposits and little bit of mold that is starting to appear here and there. It would be awesome if it did work, then I wouldn’t have to buy so many different products, trying to figure out what would work on it. So far, nothing does.
If I win, the first thing I will clean will be the floors in my kitchen and bathrooms.
