Water dispenser cleaning

Nowadays, whether it is a city or a rural family, most homes are equipped with a water dispenser. As the main tool for daily drinking water, the hygiene of the water dispenser is very important. If the water dispenser is not cleaned properly, it will not only easily lead to the growth of bacteria, but also seriously affect its service life. However, many friends don’t know how to clean the small corners of the water dispenser.

Due to the special structure of the water dispenser, it is very inconvenient to clean, especially the water dispenser trough, which is where dust is most easily pushed and is also the most difficult part to clean. Therefore, if you want to drink water and be healthy, first learn how to clean the water dispenser.

1. Cleaning steps:

1. Unplug the power plug and remove the bucket. Clear all the remaining water in the water dispenser cavity. Since the remaining water in the sewage pipe of the water dispenser is the key to the secondary pollution of the water dispenser, first open the sewage pipe behind the water dispenser to drain the remaining water inside, and then turn on all the drinking water switches to release the remaining water in the water dispenser cavity.

2. Use clean tweezers to hold the sterilized alcohol cotton ball and carefully wipe the "smart seat" of the water dispenser. Usually these parts of the water dispenser are in direct contact with the air and are prone to accumulate bacteria. Wiping with sterilized alcohol cotton can not only remove the dirt on it, but also prepare for the next step of disinfection.

3. The capacity of a general household water dispenser cavity is about 2000 ml. Dissolve 300 ml of disinfectant in about 2000 ml of water, and then fill the entire cavity. After 10-15 minutes, open the water dispenser including the drain pipe and drinking water switch to discharge the disinfectant.

4. Rinse the entire cavity of the water dispenser with 7000-8000 ml of clean water continuously, then open all switches to drain the flushing liquid.

5. Use sterilized alcohol cotton to wipe the back wall of the water dispenser faucet switch.

6. Since the water dispenser has just been disinfected, there may still be a trace amount of disinfectant remaining, so it cannot be drunk immediately. First, you should take a cup of water and smell it to see if there is any smell of disinfectant. If there is, you need to keep adding water until the smell is gone before you can drink it safely.

Experts recommend that water dispensers should be cleaned at least once every two months, and every month in summer.

After reading this article, you will no longer worry about cleaning your water dispenser. In order to ensure healthy drinking water, you must disinfect your water dispenser regularly and do not place it in an overly cold place. It is also best to drink heated water, and not to mix hot and cold water. These are bad habits when using a water dispenser.
