Dishwasher

A lot of people wonder why they should wash something that actually operates with water and soap on an almost daily basis. Yet, just as one washes their towels, they should also wash the dishwasher. That is because parts of the food cleaned from the plates, grease and even soap scum can gather in the sides of the machine. In time, this can lead to the dishwater smelling and looking worse and worse, while also decreasing its efficiency: you cannot expect something that is dirty to clean well.

That’s why you should make sure your dishwasher gets a maintenance wash every so often. You can either use one of the detergents that are available in the market, or you can use a more homemade version. Either way, you should take out the filter and wash it separately. The chemical-free version of cleaning is to sprinkle a cup of baking soda on the bottom of the dishwasher overnight. The next day, you should add some vinegar over it and run the washer on its hottest cycle.

The result will be a clean and odor free machine! However, make sure you do not wait for it to start smelling before doing it. Preventive measures are the best and will ensure the longevity of your appliance.

    These are great tips because we do not think about them until we get sick..Alcohol wipes should be in everyones Xmas stockings to sanitize those screens of the cell phones and remote controls /door knobs etc..

    Faithfully, at the end of every month, I run my washing machine with a packet of Tide washing machine cleaner. Surprised this wasn’t included on the list.
