Easiest way to clean a dishwasher
YOUR dishwasher may be used to clean things, but every now and then it also needs to be cleaned. It could sometimes start to smell and that smell could transfer to your dishes, so it’s important to clean things that cleans things.
Website hgtv.com reports unlike in a washing machine, a dishwasher also faces buildup from grease and food particles, while still being expected to outperform your wildest expectations in a single wash cycle.
Do these two things every time you run your dishwasher
- The disposal drainage is usually linked to the dishwasher, so keep the disposal clear to help keep your dishwasher clean.
- It's critical to keep the drain beneath the lower rack clear. When you unload your clean dishes, always check to see if any large food particles settled there, and remove them so they don't rot and contribute to smells or clog drainage. Spritz the drain with white vinegar between washes to help keep it fresh.
Add a cup of white vinegar every few weeks
- Every few weeks, fill a dishwashersafe mug two-thirds full with white vinegar, and place on the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Run the dishwasher on the normal cycle with hot water for extra sterilisation. The vinegar loosens soap scum, food particles, and grease from the dishwasher's walls and racks and washes down the drain. That's all you need to do.
Three cheers for easy chores! While the dishwasher runs itself, make sure you clean these other spots in the kitchen you might have forgotten about.
