How to Clean a Bosch SS Dishwasher's Interior

Bosch's stainless steel dishwasher interior walls and door can attract food particles and other residue and may require an occasional cleaning. The spray arm nozzles can become caked with mineral deposits or other residue, especially if your home has hard water. The dishwasher's filter contains a filter at the top, an object trap in the middle and a micro filter underneath the trap. The object trap catches larger particles while the micro filter catches very fine food particles or hard water deposits. While the filter does not need cleaning under normal use, it can become clogged. A clean dishwasher equals clean dishes; buildup may affect your Bosch dishwasher's ability to clean effectively.
