Regular maintenance of your dishwasher can extend its lifespan. If you want your dishes to be perfectly clean and your appliance to break down less often, follow our recommendations. Here is how to clean your dishwasher at home.
-
After the cycle ends, leave the door open. This allows moisture to evaporate quickly and prevents mold growth.
-
Wipe the door seal with a dry sponge.
-
Clean the exterior surface of the dishwasher with a damp cloth.
-
Use only specialized detergents designed for dishwashers, such as tablets, powder, or gel capsules.
-
Always use a rinse aid for better drying results.
Once or twice a week, perform the following:
-
Clean the drain and inlet filters.
-
Clean the upper and lower spray arms.
-
Wipe down the interior of the tub.
-
Inspect and clean the hoses.
-
Wash the detergent dispenser.
Important: Always use specialized dishwasher salt. You can find various types in stores. It helps soften the water, removing harmful impurities and reducing the likelihood of limescale buildup.
