“People do not know how rarely ice machines get cleaned inside and out. Lots of places I’ve worked will take off the nozzles and soak them in bleach and wipe down the outside every day but it’s probably been years since anyone thawed it out and cleaned the inside. I’ve seen ice machines with black mould, slime, and even cockroaches inside them. I don’t love room temperature water but I’d rather drink that than risk a nasty infection.” – Torie T.
