Abstract: A filter pouch cleaner, for cleaning coffee and tea makers, has a top and bottom filter layer made from tea bag paper. The top and bottom filter layers are joined together along and adjacent to their outer edges to form a sealed pouch therebetween. The pouch is filled with a powdered cleaner compound that includes trisodium phosphate, sodium metasillicate and sodium perborate, along with soda ash as a filler. To facilitate the biodegradability and the safety of the cleaner compound, tripolyphosphate and a trace of blue dye powder are included in the cleaner compound. To clean a brewbasket and dispenser of a coffee or tea maker, the filter pouch cleaner is placed in the brewbasket. The brewbasket is then placed above the dispenser and filled with hot water. The hot water soaks through the filter and dissolves the cleaner compound. The hot water and dissolved cleaner flows out of the brewbasket and fills the dispenser.
