If you have a water cooler, it is important to clean it regularly. It is recommended to clean the water cooler every time the bottle is changed or every six weeks, whichever comes first. When maintaining your water cooler, the most important thing is that the water remains clean. Fortunately, cleaning your water cooler only takes a little time, water and bleach or vinegar.

To step

Part 1 of 2: Preparing the cleaning mixture

1. Pour 4 liters of water into a bucket. This step is the same whether you use bleach or vinegar. Consider using a bucket with a handle or one that is easy to handle. Be careful not to let the bleach mixture splash out of the bucket and onto the floor or your clothes.
2. Wash your hands well and dry the new bottle with a towel. Make sure to wash your hands before handling the bottle again.
3. Check if the water cooler is working. Fill a glass of water and try both taps if your water cooler has two. Taste the water to make sure there are no residues of the cleaning mixture left in the water cooler.

Tips

• You can also use antibacterial soap instead of bleach or vinegar if necessary. The right soap disinfects the water cooler better than vinegar. Consider rinsing the water cooler more often if you use soap to remove all soap residue.

Warnings

• Do your best never to touch the faucets yourself so that you do not contaminate someone else's drinking water.
• Do not leave the water in the water cooler for more than 30 days. Like other foods, bottled water contains bacteria.Even if these are few, eventually more bacteria can come in and become a problem.
