Clean your water cooler every 6 weeks, or with every bottle change. Prepare a bleach solution by adding 1 tablespoon of bleach to every 1 gallon of water that you use. Unplug the water cooler from the wall and take off the empty bottle.
Use a sponge to clean the inner surface of the water cooler with the bleach solution. Let it stand for no more than 5 minutes, then drain the bleach solution through the tap and into a bucket. Drain bucket down kitchen sink.
Rinse out the bleach solution by filling the inner reservoir with water four times and washing it out through the tap and into a bucket.
Clean all your bottled water dispensers with the same product you clean and disinfect your baby bottles in. Soak the bottles in this mixture overnight and rinse clean, adding a dash of lemon to the final rinse water. If there are yellow stains in the bottles, fill the bottle with warm water and drop 2 Steradent Tablets into the water ( the same tablets you use to whiten and clean dentures)
where the bottle sits is a cap….remove the cap by prying it up with something strong and flat ( screw driver or butter knife ) once removed u will see the water storage tank which holds about 1 gallon of water ( this is where the water gets cold ) this storage area can be cleaned out with a small amount of bleach ( about a table spoon ,,,,remember bleach is a poison and can kill so don’t us so much of it ) u can run some of the water mixture through the spout to clean it out also …wash out the storage area well and rinse out with a few gallons of clean water
