Are your dishes always dirty? This hidden dishwasher part could be to blame!
- Replies 18
Keeping your kitchen clean and sparkling is an essential part of maintaining a healthy home for you and your family.
However, now and then, dishwashers can cause us some trouble, especially when it seems that after running a cycle, our dishes end up still dirtier than expected.
What might be causing this issue? Interestingly, it could be something small and easy to miss.
A recent video drew attention to the problem of a dirty dishwasher, offering a straightforward yet highly effective solution.
A social media user under the name ‘Beanina4’ expressed her frustration about her dishes appearing dirty.
However, she quickly pinpointed the problem: an overlooked dishwasher filter.
‘I’ve been in my apartment for four years now, and I never even knew this filter was a thing,’ she said.
This revelation also surprised many viewers who didn't know they needed to maintain their filter, with one person saying, ‘I've never cleaned that filter before... ever... Didn't even know it existed.
To get started with the cleaning, the first step is to take out the filter and let it soak in a mixture of hot water and soap in the sink.
Using a small bristle-cleaning brush, the woman diligently scrubbed the filter, eliminating all the accumulated gunk.
This step is important for maintaining your dishwasher’s performance. A clogged filter can block water flow, causing less effective dish cleaning.
While the filter was soaking, the social media user moved on to the next part of cleaning, where the focus was on the dishwasher itself.
She began with her two essential ingredients: distilled white vinegar and bicarb soda.
She took the bicarb soda and sprinkled ‘a generous amount’ into the bottom of the washer. This acts as a natural abrasive to address any remaining residue and odours.
Then, she filled a small container with vinegar and placed it on the top rack. She also ran the machine through a hot cycle to ensure a thorough cleaning.
After completing the cycle, the creator revealed the unpleasant residue that accumulated in her vinegar container, signalling that her dishwasher was now ready to perform at its best.
Upon reassembling all the machine parts and running a regular dishwashing cycle, the user concluded her video with an important reminder to viewers: ‘Don’t forget to deep clean your dishwasher.’
This attention-grabbing video serves as a reminder to keep your dishwasher clean for optimal performance. So, when your dishes aren't as clean as you'd like, remember this cleaning tip.
