Overview of cleaning process for water dispensers

Properly cleaning your water dispenser is essential to maintaining hygiene and ensuring the quality of the water that you consume. Whether you have a cold water dispenser or a room temperature dispenser, cleaning is a simple process that can be done at home. To ensure that your cold water dispenser continues to work efficiently, it is crucial to clean the internal and external parts regularly. A step-by-step approach can help you maintain the dispenser’s longevity and provide clean water at all times.

Detailed steps for cleaning a water dispenser

  • Turn off and unplug the dispenser: Before you begin, ensure that the water dispenser is switched off and unplugged from the power source to avoid any accidents.
  • Remove the bottle and drain any remaining water: Take out the water bottle and pour out any remaining water from the reservoir.
  • Clean the water reservoir: Use a mild cleaning solution, such as vinegar mixed with water, and a soft sponge to gently scrub the inside of the reservoir.
  • Rinse thoroughly: Once cleaned, rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean water to ensure that no residue is left behind.
  • Clean the exterior and the taps: Do not forget to clean the exterior of the dispenser and the taps. Use a damp cloth and disinfectant to wipe down these areas.
  • Reassemble and refill: Once the components are dry, reassemble the dispenser and place a new water bottle. Plug the unit back in and it is ready for use.

Key points for effective dispenser cleaning

  • Use mild cleaning agents: Avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning your water dispenser, as they can damage the machine and leave harmful residues. Instead, opt for vinegar or a mild dishwashing liquid.
  • Clean the dispenser monthly: Regular maintenance is key to preventing the buildup of mould, bacteria, or any other contaminants in the dispenser. If you have a copper water dispenser, regular maintenance is even more crucial, as copper can tarnish over time.
  • Focus on the taps: The taps are the most frequently used part of the dispenser, so make sure to clean them properly to prevent germ accumulation.
  • Descale when necessary: For water dispensers that are used with hard water, descaling might be necessary every few months to remove mineral deposits.
  • Replace filters as recommended: Some water dispensers, including glass water dispensers, come with filters that should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal water filtration and performance.
