What's really going on inside your dishwasher while cleaning? Watch here!

We've all been there, right? You go to unload the dishwasher and find out that some of your plates and cutlery are still caked in food and grime. It's like, what's the point of having a dishwasher if it can't even clean your dishes properly?

Well, get ready to have your mind blown because we've got some major revelation on what might be causing this annoying problem.



Terence Chan, the owner of Impetus Heat and Plumbing, recently posted a video online that has taken the internet by storm. In the video, he shows us the inside of a dishwasher with a see-through door as it goes through a cycle.

And let us tell you, it's wild - you won't believe what's really going on in there!

You might think that when your dishwasher is going through a cycle, those spray arms are blasting your dishes with intense water pressure. But the reality might surprise you. As Terence Chan's video revealed, the spray arms might not be as strong as we thought, and the dishwasher may not even be filled with water the whole time. Mind blown!

And get this: the top and bottom spray arms don’t even operate at the same time. Who knew?



As for the video itself, it got people talking. Viewers were quick to wonder why we don't have dishwashers with clear doors or windows like washing machines. Chan believes it might be a safety issue, or maybe the clear models just aren't as strong and could cause flooding. Either way, it's something to ponder.

But, of course, where there are viral videos, there are jokes. Some viewers were quick to make quips about invading the dishwasher's privacy, while others said they preferred to believe that tiny elves were doing the dishwashing. (We don't blame them - who doesn't want tiny elves washing their dishes?)



Now that we've all seen the viral TikTok video, it's clear that keeping your dishwasher spray arms clean is crucial for ensuring that your dishes come out sparkling clean. After all, the spray arms are responsible for distributing water around the appliance and cleaning your dishes.

But did you know that spray arms can become clogged with small pieces of food or debris? If they're not maintained properly, this can lead to poor washing results. Luckily, cleaning your dishwasher spray arms is a simple process that doesn't have to take long.



Here's a quick and easy guide on how to clean your dishwasher spray arms:

1. Unscrew and detach the upper spray arm.

2. Unclip the lower spray arm and lift it away.

3. Use a cocktail stick to clean the small outlet nozzles on the spray arms. You can also soak the spray arms in a vinegar solution to dissolve any food particles blocking the outlet nozzles. If you do soak the spray arms, be sure to clean them with soapy water after.

4. Rinse the spray arms thoroughly, then shake off any remaining water.

5. Twist the clip to lock the upper spray arm into position.

6. Press down to clip the lower arm back into place.

Voila! Your dishwasher spray arms should now be clean and ready to tackle your next load of dishes. If you're a visual learner, check out this video below for a step-by-step tutorial:
