How To Get Your Dishwasher Hygienically Clean

• In a lot of multiple occupancy households,
  dishwashers are used at least once a day, and
  while they get our kitchen items shiny and clean,
  have you ever thought about how much grime and
  debris passes through them on every cycle?
• With this in mind, its little wonder that they
  can become smelly from time to time, and while
  you can buy fresheners to place inside the
  machine, this is only masking the problem. What
  your dishwasher really needs, is a deep clean.
  Lets look into the problem a little more closely

• What makes my dishwasher dirty and smelly?
• Because theyre designed to remove particles of
  food and grease from pots, pans and dishes, its
  no surprise that theyll get bunged up with
  leftover food and other stinky gunk from time to
  time. Keep in mind that the warm and damp
  environment inside the dishwasher makes it a
  perfect place for mold and bacteria to grow, too.
  Combine all of these things, add in a splash of
  standing water, and youve got one not so
  delightfully fragrant dishwasher!

• How to get your dishwasher hygienically clean
• Fortunately, its pretty simple to clean your
  dishwasher, and for most households, doing this
  once a month is enough to keep it smelling
  fresher and working at its best. Heres how to do
  it
• Step one
• Clean the filter
• You can remove the filter from the drain as often
  as you wish and give it a quick clean to remove
  any leftover food particles, but a more thorough
  clean of the drain as well, should happen at
  least once a month.

5

• To do this, remove the bottom rack from the
  machine, don a pair of rubber gloves, and get
  stuck in removing any food waste from the drain.
  This will not only help the entire machine smell
  better, but itll help make sure the water drains
  properly, and that your dishes get as clean as
  they can be.

• Step two
• Clean the spray arm
• Typically found at the very top or bottom of a
  dishwasher, the spray arm can also get clogged up
  with food particles from time to time, and may
  even have a build-up of minerals on its surface.
  To combat this, remove the arm and soak it in
  white vinegar for around 15 minutes. Then, scrub
  it clean if necessary and inspect the spray holes
  for blockages.

• Step three
• Clean your dishwasher inside
• Cleaning your dishwasher shouldnt take more than
  a few minutes, and all you need is a sponge or
  scrubber, and a solution of white vinegar, warm
  water and dish soap. Dont forget to clean the
  seals and inside of the door.

8

• Step four
• Eliminating odors
• To get your dishwasher smelling fresh again,
  simply fill a bowl with a couple of cups of white
  vinegar, place it on the top rack and run a full,
  hot cycle. If necessary, you can also pop around
  a cup of baking soda onto the floor of the
  dishwasher, and run another cycle to increase the
  freshness levels further. Once done, leave the
  door open to allow it to dry out fully.

• While the second, third and fourth steps may only
  need to be done every few months or so, it is a
  good idea to clean your dishwashers filter and
  drain more often. Why not add it to the list of
  chores your cleaning service are responsible for
  (if theyre not doing it already)?
