Next, clean the rice cooker again with one ingredient, namely dishwashing soap. Use a sponge dampened with a little water to rub dish soap all over the rice cooker. If all parts of the rice cooker are free of stains, wipe them using a clean, dry cloth.

The owner of the YouTube Nano technique account explains, don't rinse off the remaining soap by pouring water into the rice cooker, because it can damage the machine. Once the rice cooker is clean and dry, this tool is ready to be used again to cook rice.
