Abstract
A washing machine appliance having an integrated cap cleaning device is provided. The device includes features for cleaning soiled caps of liquid cleaning agent bottles. A water valve selectively allows water to flow from a water supply to the cap cleaning device. When a soiled cap is pressed against the cap cleaning device, the soiled cap depresses an activation device that triggers the water valve to allow water to flow to the cap cleaning device. The cap cleaning device includes a spout defining one or more exit nozzles. Water flowing through the cap cleaning device exits through the exit nozzles of the spout and sprays onto the soiled cap. The cap cleaning device can also include an outer rim defining a plurality of rim exit nozzles. Water flowing through the cap cleaning device can exit through the rim exit nozzles and onto exterior surfaces of the soiled cap.
