Dishwasher Cleaning with Lemon and Vinegar

Vinegar is one of the indispensable materials in dishwasher cleaning. You can get a very effective cleaner by mixing vinegar and lemon for cleaning the dishwasher at home. Vinegar will clean the dishwasher from all dirt, while lemon will be useful in cleaning the limescale.
Similar to cleaning with vinegar and baking soda, you first need to pour 2 glasses of vinegar into a container. After that, you can prepare your cleaner by mixing 2 tablespoons of lemon with vinegar. You can mix the vinegar and lemon mixture by making it homogeneous and pour it into your machine or leave it in the container. After pouring the cleaner mixture into your machine, you need to run your machine on the highest temperature program. After the program is over, your machine will regain the cleanliness of the first day, and the pipes opened thanks to the lemon will seriously increase the performance of your machine. With this method, you can also get rid of bad odors in your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Detergent Compartment of the Dishwasher

Dishwashers have a separate compartment inside the door to put detergent, and this compartment is often neglected when cleaning. However, during the use of the dishwasher with powder and tablet detergents, detergent residues accumulate in this compartment over time. These accumulated detergent residues negatively affect the working performance of the machine over time.

You can use hot water to remove residual detergent from the detergent dispenser of the dishwasher. First of all, you need to pour the heated water into the detergent section and wait for a few minutes. After that, you can clean this compartment by cleaning the softening detergent with the help of a cloth.

Another way to clean the detergent dispenser is to wipe the detergent dispenser by adding apple cider vinegar to a damp cloth. A damp cloth will soften the accumulated detergent residue and allow it to be wiped more easily, while apple cider vinegar will clean the detergent compartment and remove dirt.

Filter Cleaning of Dishwashers

Another part that is disrupted while cleaning the dishwasher at home is the filter of the machine. The filter section is the section that prevents the drains of the machine from clogging and prevents food residues from mixing into the drains.
To clean this compartment, you have to open the chamber at the bottom of the machine and take the filter out. In order to take the filter out, it will be enough to pull the filter to yourself after opening the chamber cover.

After removing the filter, you can clean the filter with hot water or dishwashing liquid. Since the filter section of the dishwasher contains small parts, it is likely that small, dried food particles and dirt will remain in the filter during superficial cleaning. For this reason, you should keep the filter under water until it is thoroughly cleaned and you need to clean the filter in detail.
After the cleaning process of the filter section is finished, you can rinse the filter and place it back in its own chamber. Cleaning the filter section periodically will significantly increase the operating performance of the dishwasher.

Filters that are clogged or that have started to accumulate food residue will cause water to accumulate on the bottom of the dishwasher during operation. Since the accumulated water is filtered slower than normal, it causes your dishes to come out of the machine more dirty. Filter cleaning allows the dishwasher to regain its first day performance.

Things to Consider When Cleaning the Dishwasher’s Propeller

The impeller part of the dishwasher is constantly submerged in water during operation. Therefore, it is one of the most easily calcified parts of the machine. Since calcification in the fan part prevents your dishes from being washed and rinsed with the desired performance, the dishes will start to come out dirty from the machine.

When cleaning the propeller, it is sufficient to apply cleaners such as vinegar, dish soap, baking soda or arab soap to a small brush such as a toothbrush and clean all the gaps of the propeller with the brush. After cleaning the propeller, you can complete the propeller cleaning after rinsing it under running water.
