Regular dishwasher maintenance can significantly extend its lifespan. To ensure your dishes are perfectly clean and prevent breakdowns, follow our expert recommendations. Here is how to clean your dishwasher at home.
-
After each cycle: Leave the door open. This allows moisture to evaporate quickly and prevents mold growth.
-
Wipe the door seal with a dry sponge regularly.
-
Clean the exterior surface of the dishwasher with a damp cloth.
-
Use only specialized detergents: Always choose dishwasher tablets, powder, or gel capsules.
-
Use a rinse aid for a spotless finish.
Once or twice a week, perform these steps:
-
Clean the drain and inlet filters.
-
Clean the upper and lower spray arms (nozzles).
-
Wipe down the interior of the tub.
-
Inspect and clean the hoses.
-
Wash the detergent dispenser compartment.
Pro Tip: Always use specialized dishwasher salt. It softens the water, removes harmful impurities, and prevents limescale buildup, which is essential for maintaining your appliance.
