How to Get Rid of Lime Build Up in Bosch Dishwasher

Washing dishes is easy with a Bosch dishwasher, but just like the other appliances in your kitchen, it needs periodic cleaning. Your Bosch dishwasher is susceptible to lime scale buildup, especially if you have hard water. Lime scale is caused by deposits from minerals in the water. This buildup can prevent the dishwasher from operating properly and even leave a film on your dishes. Run a maintenance cycle on your dishwasher about every two months to remove the buildup.
