- Open the dispenser lid. Ensure all compartments are accessible.
- Rinse with warm water. Use warm water to help dissolve any detergent residue or buildup.
- Air dry or dry with a towel, then place back into the slot. Allow the dispenser to dry thoroughly before reinserting it.
- Refill the dispenser with the desired detergent. Once clean and dry, you can add your laundry detergent.
