Your Daily Dishwasher Check-Up: The 5-Minute Fix for Big Savings!

The 5-Step Guide to Optimal Dishwasher Performance

Follow these five essential steps to resolve common dishwasher issues and ensure a consistently brilliant clean for your dishes.

Step 1: Pre-Treat Dishes – Scrape, Don't Rinse

• Action: Scrape large food particles off dishes before loading them. Important: Do not pre-rinse with water.

• Purpose: This prevents food from clogging the filter and pump, leading to more efficient and effective cleaning cycles.

Step 2: Clean the Filter – Maintain Water Pressure

• Action: Once a week, remove the filter from the bottom of the dishwasher. Rinse it under running water, using a soft brush to remove stubborn residue.

• Purpose: A clean filter ensures strong water pressure for the spray arms, preventing the poor cleaning results caused by weak water flow.

Step 3: Clear the Spray Arms – Ensure Full Coverage

• Action: Inspect the nozzles on the upper and lower spray arms. If blocked by food debris or mineral deposits, use a toothpick or pin to clear the obstruction.

• Purpose: This guarantees that water can spray evenly into every corner, achieving a thorough, all-over clean.

Step 4: Wipe Down the Interior – Prevent Odors

• Action: After a wash cycle, use a damp cloth to quickly wipe down the interior of the door and the surrounding rubber seal (gasket).

• Purpose: This removes grime from moist areas, effectively preventing the growth of mold, mildew, and the buildup of unpleasant odors.

Step 5: Refill Consumables – Guarantee Results

• Action: Regularly check that the detergent (powder/pod) and rinse aid dispensers are full.

• Purpose: Using the correct amount of cleaning agents is essential for powerful cleaning, proper sanitization, and achieving a spot-free, brilliant shine after drying.

Why Bother? The $$$ Payoff!
