Let’s be real: when was the last time you cleaned your ice maker? If you said “never,” welcome to the club. Mineral scale and mold love dark, damp places—and your ice bin is a five-star hotel for them.
Every three months, empty the bin and wash it with warm water and mild soap. Rinse it extremely well. A soapy cube is a betrayal of the highest order.
For the machine itself, run a cycle with white vinegar or a dedicated de-scaler. Yes, it’s a pain. But your future self, sipping a crystal-clear gin and tonic, will thank you.
