Top Tips to Help You Maintain Your Dishwasher Properly • • Be sure to clean it properly and deodorize the interior. If you would periodically use a household cleaner and a warm rag to clean the space between the door and the tub, it will go a long way in keeping your dishwasher protected from mold growth. You can also make use of a sewing needle and pipe cleaner to get rid of bits of paper, food particles, and other debris. Avoid using a toothpick here because the tip can break off and you may lose it inside the wash arm. Be sure to use a deodorizer to clean the dishwasher. You should use one specifically designed for your dishwasher. Using it properly will help prevent rust stains. Keep the filter clean. You may find a filter near the bottom of your dishwasher – it may also be located under the lower spray arm. Ensure that you clean it regularly following the instructions given in the owner's manual. Do not try to remove the filter if you are not sure about something. You can ask a professional to do it for you as well – they can also teach you what you have to do when you want to clean it again.
