Comprehensive Guide to Cleaning APEX Probes
Can someone provide this information? Step by step and for each probe type? I know it probably is something simple but i just can't find a definitive reference.

Yup. I do the same until recently. I have changed my pump cleaning from vinegar (that apparently hurts the plastic over time) to Muratic acid which takes like 1/5 the time to get the stuff clean and then I rinse profusely with RODI. I am wondering if the muratic will hurt the probes. Otherwise yes, vinegar and then RECALIBRATE.... for sure...

Muriatic acid will not hurt a pH or conductivity probe if it is appropriately dilute (not concentrated HCL, for example).
At least diluted 1:10 in pure water, or 1:100.

That should be fine.
