## How to Clean a Porcelain Water Dispenser
Porcelain water dispensers are a great way to keep your water cold and refreshing. However, they can also be a breeding ground for bacteria and mold if they are not cleaned regularly. Here are the steps on how to clean a porcelain water dispenser:
### Materials you’ll need:
– White vinegar
– Baking soda
– Soft cloths or sponges
– A bottle brush or pipe cleaner (optional)
– Dish soap (optional)
### Instructions:
1. Unplug the water dispenser and empty the water reservoir.
This will prevent any water from spilling out when you are cleaning it.
2. Remove the water filter (if applicable).
This will make it easier to clean the inside of the dispenser.
3. Fill the water reservoir with a solution of white vinegar and water.
The ratio of vinegar to water should be 1:1.
4. Let the solution sit for 30 minutes.
This will give the vinegar time to kill any bacteria or mold that may be present.
5. Scrub the inside of the water reservoir with a soft cloth or sponge.
Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
6. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly with clean water.
Make sure to remove all of the vinegar solution.
7. Dry the water reservoir with a clean cloth or towel.
This will help to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
8. Replace the water filter (if applicable).
9. Fill the water reservoir with fresh water and plug it back in.
Your water dispenser is now clean and ready to use!
### Additional tips:
– Clean your porcelain water dispenser regularly, especially if you use it frequently.
– If you notice any mold or mildew growing in the water dispenser, clean it immediately.
– You can also add a few drops of dish soap to the vinegar solution to help remove any grease or residue.
– If you have a bottle brush or pipe cleaner, you can use it to clean the inside of the spout.
– Be sure to rinse the water dispenser thoroughly after cleaning to remove any residual vinegar or dish soap.
### Troubleshooting:
– If your water dispenser is still not working after cleaning it, there may be a problem with the electrical components. Contact the manufacturer for assistance.
– If you notice any leaks coming from the water dispenser, check the seals and gaskets for damage. Replace any damaged seals or gaskets as needed.
