What happens here

This project details the process of thoroughly cleaning a washing machine's detergent dispenser and its housing. It involves disassembling the dispenser, scrubbing components with soap and hot water, cleaning the internal cavity with disinfectant wipes, and then reassembling and reinstalling the dispenser. This ensures optimal detergent distribution and prevents buildup of mold and grime.
