A Clean Dishwasher Makes Cleaner Dishes!

Often, homeowners opt to call a professional before attempting to solve an issue themselves.

Dishwashers have become indispensable in many households. From time to time, issues arise with their performance. Dishes are washed inconsistently, grease or grime remains after a cycle, or there is a general sense that the dishwasher is not at optimal function. Problems like this can occur for any dishwasher, from budget to high end models. 

Often, homeowners opt to call a professional before attempting to solve an issue themselves. However, it is not always necessary. Trying the following tips can save homeowners money, and an unnecessary service appointment. 

• Unclog spray arms: In most models, the spray arms are easy to remove. Grime gets inside these elements from food particles and soap and can often cause clogs. Using a steel wire, clear any blockages in the arms. 

• Soak spray arms: White vinegar can safely break down anything the steel wire couldn’t get out. 

• Scrub interior walls: Scrubbing the dishwasher can seem unnecessary, but soap and other substances often dry in and around the appliance. A good scrub can help stop debris buildup and maintain a functional washing cycle. 

• Clean seals and door: A toothbrush can be used to get into the seals and around the door. These areas can retain junk that stops the dishwasher from cleaning effectively.
