I used to work at a nice bar. It was just a side gig for "fun". I was always very careful with the ice and ice machine, because i find ice gross in general. I still found it very odd how many people just demand "questionable" ice. I'm glad if i don't get ice, please don't ice adds nothing but grossness to any drink.

Not to be judge mental here, but why do you find ice "gross"? I get it if you've seen what the machines look like, but ice in general?

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago

All ice machines require monthly if not biweekly cleaning otherwise funky stuff starts growing in the water lines and the ice trays, and other hard to reach areas.

As a former commercial HVAC guy, consider yourself lucky if a place cleans it out once a year.

I've never cleaned my fridge ice maker in 8 years, how much life expectancy do I have?

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I don't know but I'll bet your ice smells a bit off.

Longer than before, since you've been exposed to so many more germs!

I second this question. How am I even supposed to clean it?

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Well. Now I've got another fear to add to the list.

That's true for soda and beer lines, too...
