Cleaned them right after the bleed. One of my friend accidentally left ATE Blue in the container and lines. Let just say his power bleeder lines are blue now

8) How do I use and maintain my POWER BLEEDER?
The POWER BLEEDER is very easy to use and maintain. For instructions on how to use the unit please see the SUPPORT page. To clean the POWER BLEEDER after use pour denatured alcohol into the tank and into the tube. Dispose of the dirty alcohol. Allow the unit to air dry. Store in a cool, dry, dark area with the hose wrapped loosely around the unit without any kinks in the hose. DO NOT USE BRAKE CLEANER ON ANY PART OF THE UNIT. If denatured alcohol can not be found a mild dish washing detergent may be used, however insure all soap is rinsed out prior to air drying unit and that unit is completely dry prior to next use. We highly recommend replacing the hose every 3-4 years or if inspection shows any damage to the hose.
