Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
1. Prepare the Dispenser
Unplug the water dispenser.
Carefully remove the water bottle from the dispenser and empty out any remaining water.
2. Clean the Inner Chamber with Vinegar
Mix 1 quart of warm water with 1 cup of white vinegar.
Pour this mixture into the inner chamber of the dispenser.
Clean the inner line by allowing the vinegar mixture to flow through the dispenser faucets.
Wait 10-15 minutes to allow the vinegar to disinfect.
3. Cleaning with Baking Soda Mixture
In a separate container, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 liter of warm water and mix.
Pour this mixture into the inner chamber and wipe the chamber with a sponge. Baking soda will help eliminate bad odors and clean the surfaces.
4. Cleaning the Faucets
If you can remove the faucets of the dispenser, soak them in the vinegar and baking soda mixture for 15-20 minutes.
Clean the inside and outside of the faucets with a small brush.
5. Rinsing Process
Rinse the dispenser with plenty of clean water to remove chemical residue.
Put clean water in the inner chamber and run it through the faucets of the dispenser to completely clean the water line. Repeat this process several times.
6. Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces
Clean the exterior surfaces of the dispenser by wiping it with a damp cloth. If necessary, you can use water and a small amount of vinegar.
7. Drying
Wipe all parts of the dispenser with a dry cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
Reattach the parts and place the water bottle in the water dispenser to make it ready for use.
Important Tips:
Avoid Overuse: Since vinegar is acidic, using too much can damage the metal parts.
Rinsing is Important: Any traces of vinegar or baking soda can affect the taste of the water. Make sure to rinse with plenty of water.
Clean Regularly: Use this method once a month or when you notice a change in the taste of the water.
This method keeps your water dispenser hygienic and healthy, offering an eco-friendly and economical option.
