It’s time for Spring Cleaning… And there’s one item that you’ll want to add to your cleaning list that is so easy, you’ll be able to cross it off without any work at all.

Cleaning Your Dishwasher!

Easy Way to Clean Dishwasher


 

Yes, your hardworking dishwasher — that everyday washes the grease and grime from your pots, pans, plates and cutlery — needs attention too. Without regular cleaning, lime scale and grease build up in its hidden and vital parts: The filters, the spray arms, and the pipes.

Did you realize you should be cleaning your dishwasher each month?!?

Dirty Dishwasher

I’m going to bet that many of us do NOT clean our dishwashers ever, much less each month.

But, I’ve learned my lesson the hard way.

With my last dishwasher, I had no idea I was supposed to have been regularly cleaning it to prevent build up of lime and other odour causing grime.

And after a few years, my dishwasher was a smelly wreck. When the top rack completely broke forcing me to get a new dishwasher, I was actually rather relieved.

Now I’m not making the same mistake.

I’m keeping on top of cleaning my dishwasher regularly using Finish Dual Action™ Dishwasher Cleaner.

Finish Dishwasher Cleaner

Its powerful formula with 5x Power Actions helps

  1. maintain the dishwasher,
  2. removes limescale,
  3. clears grease,
  4. cleans hidden parts, and
  5. freshens the dishwasher.

And I especially love that I can pat myself on the back for a job well done (that doesn’t actually require any work on my part.)

This is truly the easiest way to clean your dishwasher.

Simply buy a bottle of Finish DWC for about $4.99 at the grocery store. Then pull off the top sticker (do NOT remove the lid), place it upside down, securely in the bottom rack, and run your dishwasher on the hottest cycle.

  1. I have been cleaning my dishwasher from time to time for the past year or two because it got to be so disgusting. I searched on Pinterest and google of what to do. My first attempt was to try and scrub that thing, but I didn’t really accomplish much. Then, from finding some info online, I put a bowl of bleach on the top rack and put it on the hottest cycle. Afterwards, I remove the bowl and dump the water and then do another cycle to help rinse the remaining bleach. It works like a charm. However, I really don’t like the idea of using bleach in my dishwasher, so I think I’m going to have to try this option. Thanks so much. I never saw this option in my online searches.

    • Thanks for sharing your experience and your research Linda. I agree… I’m not a fan of bleach either. Yes, I think you’ll find this method even easier.

    • Yes, so cool, hey? I love that I feel productive doing the EASIEST thing. I wish cleaning the rest of my house was so easy. LOL
