Tips & Warnings
Give the inside of your dishwasher a thorough cleaning every two to three months to keep things running smoothly. Wipe down the inside of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and a paste made of dishwasher detergent and water. Clean any debris out of the filter screen in the bottom of the dishwasher.
Do not use dishwasher detergent when running the cycle with vinegar and lemon juice.
Avoid using the vinegar and lemon juice rinse too frequently; both are acids, which may damage the interior of your dishwasher with overuse.
