How to Descale a Stainless Steel Bosch Dishwasher

Stainless steel dishwashers are found in many homes, providing a durable and attractive dishwashing unit that fits in well with most decor styles. Bosch is a German-based company that manufactures what it considers to be the most water and energy efficient dishwasher units available in the United States. With an emphasis on low noise output and high quality manufacturing, the Bosch company offers dishwasher units in a number of price points and designs. To keep the dishwasher functioning and looking its best, you must remove any limescale buildup that accumulates. The limescale develops as a result of the mineral content in your water supply, and a natural household item quickly breaks up and dissolves the scale.
