Remember those parts soaking in the sink? Grab a soft sponge or a toothbrush (a dedicated cleaning one, not your dental one—please). Scrub the drip tray, the baffle, and the faucet covers.
Pay special attention to the little nooks and crannies. That’s where the biofilm likes to throw a party. Show it who’s boss with some elbow grease.
Rinse them thoroughly with hot water. Dry them off with a clean cloth. They should look shiny and new, like they just got a makeover from a home-improvement fairy.
The Interior Wipe Down
Now, grab a clean microfiber cloth. Dampen it with a little undiluted vinegar. Wipe down the inside of the reservoir where the bottle sits.
Get that cloth deep into the corners. Slime loves corners. It’s like the corner is its favorite dark nightclub. Evict it with a firm wipe.
Use a Q-tip dipped in vinegar to clean the faucets from the inside. This is the delicate surgery part. You are now the dispenser’s dentist.
