How to clean the inside of the dishwasher: an easy method

A dishwasher can be a great tool in the home and help you save time and water. However, have you ever wondered how to clean the inside of the dishwasher without using harmful chemicals? Many people simply do not pay attention to this, thinking that since the appliance is designed to wash dishes, it will somehow clean itself during use.

Experts warn that dishwashers can become a real breeding ground for bacteria, accumulating food debris and dirt. Informacion magazine tells us how to clean the dishwasher inside.

Two ingredients that you probably already have on your kitchen shelves will come in handy: white vinegar and baking soda.

Step 1: preliminary preparations

Before starting the process, make sure the appliance is empty. If you find large pieces of food or any other residue, remove them manually.

Step 2: vinegar

White vinegar is known for its cleaning and disinfecting properties. Pour a glass of vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher to remove grease and limescale. To maximize its effect, select the longest cycle with the highest temperature.

Step 3: baking soda

After the vinegar cleaning, move on to the final step. Baking soda will help remove bacteria and fungal spores. It also acts as a natural odor neutralizer. Pour a cup of baking soda onto the bottom of the appliance and run a second short cycle at high temperature.

After the cycle is complete, don't forget to pay attention to the details. Using a soft cloth, wipe the door and the inside of the dishwasher, especially the areas around the rubber seals.

Cleaning experts advise cleaning the dishwasher at least once a month.
