What do use to clean your milking machine?

I just starting using our new milking machine, and i'm not too sure what to run through it as for a cleaner.
For all those who milk with a machine, what do you use? And how often?

We use a bit of bleach in the wash water each day, then rinse with clear water. Once a week we use a small amount of acid detergent instead of the bleach. We got that at Hoegger's online. We have plastic buckets that are marked 'wash' and 'rinse' that we use to suck up the wash and rinse water.

Half a cup of bleach in a gallon of water, plus a rinse of clear water.
