LG Styler: How to clean the water tank

  • Repair

At a glance

The Styler boils water in the water tank and creates steam.  Water in the water tank directly contacts your clothes, so if you don’t clean the water tank regularly, your clothes may become smelly. Also, if water remains in the drain tank for a long time, it may leave contaminants behind. Cleaning the Styler regularly will resolve these issues.

Try this

Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the water tank and use a cleaning brush to clean the inside of the water tank.

→ Use a disinfectant tablet such as Aquatabs, which can be purchased online, to remove any unwanted odor and to keep the water tank clean.
