Clean Your Water Cooler Dispenser

I work in the water business and i know water cooler dispenser can get pretty nasty. I've seen them full of dust, roaches, bugs and even mice. I know disgusting.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

All purpose cleaner
some rags
some scrubbing pads
Hose or pressure washer

Step 1

First unplug your cooler and take it outside. Take the parts off the water dispenser (knobs, drip tray, etc.)and set them aside. Spray the inside of the cooler and the back of the cooler with your all purpose cleaner. Its okay to coat it with the cleaner. Let it sit for a minute.
****If you have bugs or mice then you should probably remove the cabinet off the cooler. Its usually held on by four screw in the back. Remove and set aside*****
Step 2

Next spray the tank with the cleaner. Scrub the tank with your scrubby.
Take your hose and spray the heck out of the cooler. Spray off the dust and bug. Clean it really well and make sure to rinse the tank out to get the cleaner out. *****if you have a Hot and Cooler water dispenser you will have to unplug the hot tank plug*******
Step 3

Make sure you get all the cleaner out. Next spray your water dispenser cabinet with your cleaner and scrub it. Just to make the hole water dispenser look new. Then spray off the cabinet with the hose.
Step 4

Put the cooler back together, clean your parts before you put them back on your water dispenser. After you put the cooler back together run some water thru the tank just to make sure. Dry it off and bring it in.
And you have a new "looking" water dispenser.
