Dishwasher as one of the most important appliances in your kitchen suffers from wear and tear on a daily basis. Take a look at the different parts of the dishwasher including the screen, door lip, the sprayer arm, etc. and try to clean these parts separately. Take each rack out and wipe them off with a clean and wet cloth. Ensure that all the corners are wiped off clean so that no particles are left behind.
The dishwasher cleaning that can get rid of dirt and smell
How to clean a dishwasher that smells? The screen is located at the bottom. Take it out and wipe it off. Run it under tap water. Clean the drain as well by removing all the food particles or any dirt that has filled in it. You can use an old toothbrush to reach the corners. When you are cleaning the spinning arms, ensure that each hole in it is freed of any accumulated mess. Try to clean with a toothbrush or if there is any stubborn particle, then push it out with a toothpick.
Dirt can also accumulate on the door. So, you should also clean it thoroughly. Once you are done with the cleaning of each part separately, then you can run the dishwasher under £400 by adding a cleaner liquid. We don’t promise you’ll get back to the new dishwasher smells that you get with a pristine, brand new machine, but hopefully there’ll be no more wondering why dishwasher smells like rotten eggs.
