Thank you for getting straight to the point without intro babble.

Sprinkling baking soda on the tub of the machine is not effective and is a common cleaning mistake. I’ll explain why. The dishwasher always does a quick pre rinse and then drains the water before the main wash that uses the heater or heating element and sprays the water for a while as the temperature increases where you’d want the cleaner or baking soda to to be in. Place baking soda IN the detergent cup and close it shut. Unless you know what cycle doesn’t run a pre rinse then it’s safe to dump it directly into the tub. Usually light cycles will not pre rinse. Be sure to clean your filter as well and wipe the bottom of the tub down before a hot cleansing empty cycle.

Good straightforward video, good tips!

Wash dishwasher once a month to maintain efficiency ~
1. Place a dishwasher safe bowl on the top rack and fill it with white vinegar. Close the dishwasher and set it on the highest temperature wash.
2. Once done remove the bowl and sprinkle a cup of baking soda on the bottom of the dishwasher. Shut the dishwasher and set it on the shortest wash.
3. Once that wash is done immediately open the washer and let it air dry for several hours.
4. You should also check the filter of the dishwasher every now and then.

Thank you for this. Didnt want to spend $$ on cleaning tablets. Vinegar and baking soda are staple items in my home and it does a great job cleaning

[bubbafrie]

The filters are a big one. If you dont pull both grim builds up and kills that tiny little pump

Citric acid is great for limescale removal.

I found a easier way and helps to clean your pipes at the same time I use original CRL.... you just feel the dispenser all the way up put it on the hottest longest setting and your dishwasher stays clean up to 3 months

I was told by a fella who fixed washing machine’s and dishwasher’s that vinegar is not good on the tube’s as the acid burn’s though the rubber

Dishwasher manufacturers recommend not using vinegar, it damages the rubber seals and hoses

White vinegar is the Swiss Army knife of liquids

I just use the dishwasher cleaning tablets. Affordable and easy.

Exactly what I needed today. I must clean my dishwasher…

Thx for simplifying it. Hate watching a 5+ min video just to still be confused at the end lol

I have this exact type of dishwasher and have taken filter out, cleaned out the nasty tank area the filter sits inside of and still cant get it to dry the dishes at the end of the cycle. Any ideals to try? I read somewhere not having rinse aid could cause this but ive almost never added rinse aid to the cycle so im extremely skeptical thats the issue.

Very helpful thank you!! I saw that you did your research too. I liked one of the comments that says to put the baking soda in the spot for detergent. I’m going to try it that way. thank you so much! My dishwasher had never been cleaned and wasn’t draining and this is already doing the trick

I'll put the baking soda in the cup also.

Did you know in Asian households in America we don't use the dishwasher as a dishwasher but as a drying rack? This is true only to those who are older but not the new generation of the Asian people here in America

baking soda should be put after the prewash cycle, first ~5-10mins. The prewash will use most of the soda, so in the main cycle, there will be little soda left for the cleaning effect

it might be the same for vinegar

Vinegar will ruin all the rubber seals inside and outside. Will last 5 year's if your lucky before they all disintegrate
