Cleaning a Smelly Dishwasher

Cleaning a smelly dishwasher is easy!

Dishwashers really do work wonders when it comes to cleaning your home’s dishes. However, with all those food particles to clean off, your dishwasher might emanate a foul odor on occasion. When this happens, there is no need to freak out. The reality is, a pungent smell from your dishwasher is all too common, and luckily, there are some easy and simple ways to curb this smell from your dishwasher. Ultimately, freshening up a smelly dishwasher is a lot easier than you may think. Here are some easy ways you can refresh your smelly dishwasher today.

Emptying Your Dishwasher Completely

Removing all the dishes from the dishwasher is the very first step in cleaning it thoroughly and removing any unpleasant odor from your dishwasher. Removing all the dishes and utensils from the dishwasher will allow the water to run and thoroughly clean the machine itself. Next, you will want to get a microfiber cloth and use it to wipe down the dishwasher. Removing the bottom rack to gain more access can also be a great way to make the most out of your cleaning process.

Allow The Vinegar to Work Its Magic

All it takes is some white vinegar to help your dishwasher freshen up. Just one cup of distilled vinegar can really do wonders for cleaning your dishwasher thoroughly. All you have to do is to place a cup of white vinegar in the top rack of your dishwasher and run the machine, and the hot vinegar steam will zap out any lingering odor. Ultimately, distilled vinegar is great at neutralizing food odors. 

Bottom Line

At the end of the day, there is nothing worse than having a smelly dishwasher. Even so, removing any pungent odor from the dishwasher is just a thorough cleaning away. You have all the tools needed to remove any unpleasant odor from your dishwasher! Taking these simple steps can allow you to finally get your dishes clean without enduring a strong smell every time you run the dishwasher
