Grammar
My pipe and I is or are
Hey, I have a question.
I saw short text into the coffee machine:
"I and my milk tube is cleaned twice a day with new tube every week."
Firstly: Shouldn't be: 'My milk tube and I' ..... instead of 'I and my milk tube'?
Secondly, is it correct to write: 'I and my milk tube IS cleaned' or it should be 'I and my milk tube ARE cleaned' (because of the plural form: tube and I equals we)/

What is a milk tube?
Shouldn't be: 'My milk tube and I' ..... instead of 'I and my milk tube'? It depends on whether it is a situation where politeness is required. You don't have to be polite to a milk tube.
Use 'are', not 'is'. The subject is plural.

AnonymousI saw short text into the coffee machine:"Into" is wrong here, and I'm not sure what you mean. Does the coffee machine have a sign on it with the text that you quote?
