Barbara says
our dishwasher was suppose to “clean itself”. Opened it the other day and could not believe the smell. I put cup of vinegar in the bottom rack and cup of baking soda in the top. When the cycle was over, my dishwasher was sparkling and all odors were gone.
Heidi says
I’m so glad you liked the trick, Barbara… isn’t it amazing how well it works? 🙂
Judee says
I will give the bowl of vinegar a try in the dishwasher. I really never knew how to clean it. Thanks.
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Judee… I just love this little trick. It makes the inside of the door look so much cleaner, too! 🙂
Pamela says
Thanks for the tip, I’ve been using bleach, but, since we’re on a septic tank my husband has a fit! Read this in our local paper yesterday: Plumbers Tip
Squirt some dishwashing liquid in your kitchen drains and let sit for 20 minutes then flush with hot water. It said to do it once a week and you’ll never have clogs from grease. I tried it last night but too early to tell results, figured it’s worth a shot!
Heidi says
Interesting, Pamela… thanks so much for sharing that tip!

Pamela are you talking dishwasher detergent or dawn dish soap?
