How do I clean my dishwasher?
assistant
1. Start by turning off the dishwasher and unplugging it from the outlet.
2. Remove items from the top rack and set aside.
3. Open the door and take out the bottom rack.
4. Clean off residue such as old food particles, grease, and debris from the dishwasher walls and the inside of the dishwasher door.
5. Use a long-handled brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment to reach deep into the corners and cracks of the dishwasher.
6. To sanitise the dishwasher, you can use a solution of vinegar and baking soda. Fill the bottom of the dishwasher with white vinegar and sprinkle baking soda on top of it.
7. Close the door and run the dishwasher on the longest cycle, with the hottest water.
8. Replace the dishrack and refill with your dishes.
9. Run a rinse cycle, using a good washing agent with a low-sudsing formula.
10. After the cycle has finished, leave the door ajar to allow air circulation and to prevent mustiness.
