How to Clean a Dishwasher

  If your dishwasher has been developing an unpleasant smell or if doesn’t seem to be cleaning as effectively any more, it might benefit from a clean of its own! Even though you may use it twice a day and think it gets cleaned in the process, it could be harbouring mould, mildew or grease from old food not rinsed completely, which means it won’t be cleaning your dishes as well or could even be making you ill.

  Firstly, take a look at the drain and pull out the removable component to check for any bits of food or broken glass. It will probably have a greasy film on it, so pull out a scrubbing brush like the Vileda recycled radial dish brush and use detergent together with some very hot water to scrub away all the grease. Replace it back in the dishwasher before you take our next step.

  Next, you can clean the empty dishwasher using its own cleaning cycle, with either a proprietary dishwasher cleaner or just plain white vinegar. Set the dishwasher to its hottest but shortest cycle, and either use the dishwasher cleaner according to its instructions or fill a small bowl or cup with vinegar and put it on the top basket, right side up. This will remove all stubborn grease and sanitise your dishwasher, while being safe to use in all types of dishwashers.

5 SPRING CLEANING TIPS FOR THOSE WHO DON’T CLEAN

You know who you are: The prospect of housework appeals to you about as much as a colonic, and the last time your home saw a good deep-cleaning someone else owned it. But there are pluses to a seasonal spruce up—and a few secrets to making it painless for those of you who are more mess-maker than homemaker.

• Kitchen

With a few multi-purpose cleaning sprays, a roll of paper towels and a bit of elbow grease, you can do serious spring-cleaning damage. Focus on large appliances, as they tend to be the most neglected spots. The key to easy cleaning is making sure you’ve got one hefty-duty product that will work on built-up gunk and another for multiple kinds of gunk.

Bonus points if one disinfects as well, as you can use it on trash can rims, countertops, the fridge door and handles, etc. For baked-on messes in the microwave, wipes that heat up in the microwave make cleaning a snap. Just heat, wipe down, and you’ve got a clean microwave in the time it takes to make a bag of popcorn.
