How To Deep Clean Your Dishwasher (& Remove The Filters) 😷 

🧼How to deep clean a dishwasher 🧼
If your dishes are coming out of the washer with food on them or you notice a foul odor… it’s time to clean your dishwasher! 😱
First, make sure the dishwasher is empty. 🍽️
Next, remove your dishwasher’s filters.🤢This is what catches any leftover food. So you want to empty & rinse this at least once a week. 🚿
💦For mild cleaning, simply rinse off any debris under running warm water.💦
⏰ If you have stuck on food, fill the sink or a bowl with warm soapy water and let filters soak for 10+ min.⏰
🧽For a more aggressive clean, use a SOFT brush or cloth on the mesh filters to remove gunk.🧽
❌ A rough sponge or wire brush can damage the filter! ❌
Once filters are clean, set them off to the side.
🧼Sprinkle some baking soda on the floor of your machine and scrub it in with a soft brush and some warm water.🧽
🚨Make sure to wipe down the filter holder with warm water to remove any residue before putting the filters back in.🚨
*If your machine is not that gross, you can skip this step and head to the commercial or DIY cleaner step.*
🤔 Commonly forgot places to clean: sides of the machine, the seal, & the door! ✨
While you have the door open, it's a great time to wipe down the cabinet next to the machine. 🚪 This never gets seen unless the dishwasher is open 👐
Return filters to the machine. 👏🏻
🍴If you keep your silverware holder on the door, move it to the bottom rack so that the door can also get cleaned! 🍴💦
Add a bottle of commercial dishwasher cleaner (my fav here amzn.to/3ikoWUS) ; I find that this removes DEEP down gunk faster & better than DIY methods. Secure bottle into the bottom rack.
🛠️ But if you prefer DIY, you can always add a dishwasher safe cup or bowl of vinegar to the top rack.🛠️
🔥Next, run your machine on the HOTTEST & LONGEST cycle. 🔥
🫧When cycle is done, remove & recycle the cleaner bottle and enjoy a FRESH, clean & good smelling machine… & fresher dishes! 🫧
