 filmed herself tending to the dishwasher in a reel on Instagram. "Here's how to deep clean a dishwasher," she said. "You should be doing this every 30 days." First, she took apart the appliance to conquer hidden grime within the dishwasher. "Remove the filter and cover. It's probably gross just like mine, and in a sink with warm water and soap let it soak," she said. She turned her attention back to the body of the appliance itself, adding a simple ingredient for further cleaning. "Spread baking powder in the bottom of the tub and run a cycle. Once finished, add vinegar to a bowl and run another cycle. "The vinegar and baking soda remove grime, stain, and keep your dishwasher smelling fresh," she said. The reel drew in many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section. "I pour a small amount of vinegar directly into the bottom of my dishwasher every cycle and it keeps everything nice and clean. No calcium or food debris build up," one wrote. "A half lemon in your top rack works wonders on a general basis," another advised. "Great tip," a third commented. "I did find some tablets on Amazon that clean it as well." "Try rinsing your dishes before you put them in. Less clean up, and you get a better clean. "No sense pulling out chunks of food that sit in the dish washer when I do subsequent loads," yet another wrote. "Thanks for showing how to clean a dishwasher," one more wrote. "Those are some good tips. For me I think I could do this once every couple months."){kind=link}
