How to Put Cleaner in a Dishwasher

Cleaners for the Dishwasher

• 1

  Pull out the bottom rack of your dishwasher and sprinkle a cup of baking soda on the bottom of the machine. The coarseness of the baking soda will scrub against the sides of the machine by the force of the water.

• 2

  Turn the dishwasher on and let it run a full cycle. Leave the dishwasher empty besides the baking soda. Once the cycle is finished, let the machine cool and then wipe down the inside with a damp cloth to remove any residue.

• 3

  Add 2 cups of white vinegar to the bottom of the machine to sanitize the washing machine. Run through a complete cycle and wipe away any residue once finished.

Cleaner for Dishes

• 4

  Find the two compartments allotted for the dishwashing detergent. One has a latched door and the other does not.

• 5

  Fill both compartments halfway with liquid or powder detergent and close the lid of the one compartment. If you have detergent that comes in a tablet, place the tablet in the lidded compartment only and close the lid.

• 6

  Run the dishwasher through a complete cycle.
