Abstract
A washing system for washing a teat cleaning apparatus includes an inlet passage (14) adapted to convey washing liquid to at least a teat cleaning member (1) of the teat cleaning apparatus, a return passage (15) adapted to recirculate the washing liquid from the teat cleaning apparatus to the inlet passage (14) such that a separate closed flow circuit is formed for the washing liquid, and a circulating part (16) adapted to circulate the washing liquid in the separate closed flow circuit during a washing process of the teat cleaning member (1) of the teat cleaning apparatus.

1-15. (canceled)
A washing system for washing a teat cleaning apparatus, the washing system comprising:
- a separate closed flow circuit for washing liquid, the closed flow circuit comprised of
- i) an inlet passage (14) adapted to convey the washing liquid to a recess (1a) of a teat cleaning member (1) of the teat cleaning apparatus, the washing liquid to flow into the recess (1a) of the teat cleaning member (1) during a washing process,
- ii) a return passage (15) adapted to recirculate the washing liquid, having passed through the recess (1a) of the teat cleaning member (1), back to the inlet passage (14), and
- iii) a circulating part (16) adapted to circulate the washing liquid in the separate closed flow circuit during the washing process of the teat cleaning member (1) of the teat cleaning apparatus so that the washing liquid is re-circulated through the inlet passage (14), the teat cleaning member (1), the circulating part (16), and the return passage (15).
