Keeping your dishwasher fresh is not only getting rid of bad odors, its also about hygiene. Over time food residues, grease and limescale can build up inside leaving behind unpleasant odors. A simple routine of monthly deep cleaning and weekly filter rinsing helps prevent these smells while keeping your machine running smoothly.
The best natural method of deep cleaning your machine includes vinegar and baking soda. Run an empty hot cycle with vinegar to help dissolve grime while a sprinkle of baking soda neutralizes lingering odors. This option is chemical free and safe to use regularly.
Finally do not underestimate the power of air drying. Simply leaving the dishwasher door slightly open after a cycle allows moisture to escape reducing the risk of mold and mildew. This keeps the inside of your appliance smelling fresh.
