Before the company arrives for holiday events turns your dishwasher in overdrive with dirty spotted dishes. There are ways you can help your dishwasher clean even better! Help maintain and give your dishwasher a tune-up with these dishwasher cleaning tips from Mr. Fix-It Handyman Service in the greater Jacksonville, Florida area.

It is tempting to load a lot of dishes in the dishwasher this holiday season, -but don’t! Did you know overcrowding the dishes leads to “hot spots” where the water can not spray properly to clean the dishes? This will leave you stuck with the gunk of food particles and debris.

Help assist your dishwasher clean a little better

If you run some hot water in the kitchen sink first, this will assist with your dishwashers cleaning performance. Since the dishwater generally runs off the hot water supply line, much like a lot of us know whenever you run hot water in a sink in many cases it will take time for the water to feel actually hot. Well the cleaning of dishes can be affected by this issue. Hot water is the key to break down food particles and gunk.

Sanitize it with vinegar

During the holiday season sanitize your dishwasher with a cup full of vinegar after unloading it and run a quick cycle. The vinegar will sanitize and help break down any built up food particles and sediment in your dishwasher.

It is just as important to maintain your dishwasher with routine general maintenance your dishwasher may last for years to come. Most dishwashers these days have a filter that catches food particles before the pump can suck up the water to help spray your dishes clean in the cleaning cycle. It is wise to scrub brush clean the filter with warm soapy water. As a service technician, you wouldn’t want to see the funk that I have seen over the years. People really don’t know the filth that they may be eating off of. Your dishwasher’s health is just as important. It is recommended every 4 four to six weeks to clean inside including the dishwasher’s trap your dishwasher, wipe down the black lower door gasket to keep the water from leaking out. This will help diminish the buildup of lime scale, soap scum, and food particles that can diminish the machines effectiveness and clog.
