The drinking fountain has been useless for a long time. I want to clean it. How to clean it and what to disinfect it with?

Water dispensers can be disinfected with white vinegar.

The specific operation includes the following steps:

First, pour 4 liters of water into the plastic bucket.

Second, prepare white vinegar solution. To neutralize the vinegar, you can add one or two tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix white vinegar and water according to 1: 3. In other words, if you use 4 liters of water, pour 1.3 liters of white vinegar. Add lemon juice, water and white vinegar if necessary.

Third, unplug the drinking machine and take the bucket down. Make sure that no other electrical appliances are connected to the same socket, and remove the electrical appliances around the water dispenser. In case of electric shock caused by water and electric contact with conductors, you'd better be careful.

4. Wipe the inner surface of the water dispenser with a wet sponge dipped in detergent. After standing for 2 to 5 minutes, turn on the tap on the cold water side and discharge the cleaning liquid (be careful not to let it stand for too long, otherwise the plastic will corrode. Put a container under the faucet to catch the washing liquid flowing out. Finally pour the cleaning solution into the sink or toilet).

5. Wash off the residual cleaning solution. Fill the water dispenser with water, and then turn on the cold water tap to drain the dirty water. It needs to be repeated four times. In order to remove the smell of white vinegar, the water dispenser must be thoroughly cleaned.

6. Remove the water tray and brush it clean. Some water pans have lids, so don't forget to brush the lids. After using it, turn on the tap and flush it. Every part of the water tray, even the gap, must be completely dried before reinstallation.
