I would dismantle the machine’s mixers and wash them in hot soapy water in the deep sink, reassemble.
Then fill the machine with very hot water, and a cup of iodine liquid, and run it thru the machine for about 15 minutes or so, refrigeration off.
The drain, refill with clear very hot water, run thru for another 15 minutes.
Repeat last step.

“I was told it was for ‘bacteria count’ test by the Health Department..”
Like I mentioned, we never saw the health department in the couple of years I was there. It was also at a restaurant that used shake mix instead of milk and additives, so the normal bacteria that was in milk wouldn’t have been present even after pasteurizing. Maybe that’s why that got away without the extra processes as the problems with salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, or the newest at that time, Campylobacter, along with some other problems like mold or just plain dirt residue. My town was about 30,000, most of it, ranches, so we didn’t exactly pose a real metropolis. Very loose control.
