Abstract: The present invention is directed to automatic, self-contained cleaning and sanitizing equipment. It includes a first liquid holding tank for a cleaning solution and a second liquid holding tank for a sanitizing solution. A cleaning line runs from the first tank and has an outlet adapted for connection to an item to be cleaned, and a cleaning return line runs back to the first tank and has an inlet adapted for connection to the item to be cleaned. A sanitizing line runs from the second tank and has an outlet connected directly to the item to be cleaned, or to the cleaning line so as to create a common connection to the item to be cleaned, and a sanitizing return line runs back to the second tank directly from the item to be cleaned, or from the cleaning return line so as to create a common connection running from the item to be cleaned.
