If you have a Whirlpool washing machine, it is important to clean the fabric softener dispenser. This will help to prevent the machine from becoming dirty and causing problems. To clean the fabric softener dispenser, first remove any dirt or debris that has built up on it. Next, use a cloth to clean the dispenser itself. Be sure to dry the cloth before using it again. Finally, place the cloth in a cup of water and use it to rinse the dispenser.
