How to Clean and Maintain Your Dishwasher

Your dishwasher is the ultimate time-saver, but nobody likes pulling out plates that are still gritty. To ensure sparkling results and prevent unwanted odors, a little weekly TLC goes a long way. Here is how to help your machine handle the hard work:

• Clean the Filter: Once a week, pull out the bottom filter and rinse it under running water. This prevents food particles from clogging the drain and keeps your dishes smelling fresh.
• Wipe the Door Seal: Give the rubber gasket around the door a quick wipe with a damp cloth to prevent mold and ensure a tight, leak-proof seal.
• Run a Monthly “Spa” Cycle: Once a month, place a bowl of white vinegar on the top rack and run a hot cycle (empty) to break down mineral deposits and grease buildup.
