Unplug the beast. Seriously, do not skip this step unless you enjoy a water-fountain light show followed by a shocking handshake. Next, remove the water jug—this is your chance to feel like a weightlifting champion, even if you groan like an old floorboard.

Here’s a surprising fact: that jug isn’t actually sealed tight with germs; the air that bubbles into it as you drink is what introduces most nasties. Once the jug is out, dump out the drip tray—that shallow plastic grave where coffee drips and cat hair go to die. Rinse it in hot, soapy water and mentally prepare for the deep clean.

Now for the vsco girl of cleaning solutions: white vinegar. Mix one part vinegar to three parts water—no, not your fancy balsamic, just the cheap stuff that smells like regret. Pour this magical potion into the water reservoir (the basin where the jug’s spike punctures in). Let it sit for at least 15 minutes. If you feel like a mad scientist, let it soak for an hour—the vinegar will dissolve mineral scale and slime like a boss.

While it’s soaking, grab a bottle brush or a clean toothbrush (please, not the one you use on your teeth). Scrub every nook of the reservoir, the spigots, and that little hose that hangs down like a sad noodle. Fun tip: if you use a tiny funnel, you can pour vinegar-water mix directly into the hot water tank and flush it—just be ready for a blast of hot vinegar steam that smells like a pickling accident.

“But wait,” you say, “what about the cold water line?” Great question, future plumber. The cold line is trickier—it’s usually wrapped in a metal cooling coil. Don’t put vinegar in there unless you want your water dispenser to taste like salad dressing for a week. Instead, just run several gallons of fresh water through the system after cleaning the reservoir.
