Your dishwasher is one of the most hard-working kitchen appliances in your home. But like any other appliance, it can get dirty and need a little help getting back to its peak. Thankfully, there are some easy tips for getting the most from your dishwasher:

Start with a Clean Machine

Use warm water and dish soap to scrub the seal around your door, as well as the detergent dispensers. Once a month, you can also run a dishwasher cleaner through your machine. These products dissolve and flow through the filter and pump to clean out buildup of grime. They’re especially helpful for stubborn foods that your dishwasher might not be able to fully clean. When you need a new Fully Integrated Dishwasher Erith, go to Wellingtons.

Load the Right Way

Stack plates carefully in the lower rack so that they’re not touching, which blocks hot water from reaching them. The upper rack is designed for delicate china and glassware; try to avoid cramming dishes into it, as this interferes with how they fit and get cleaned. Place forks with tines facing up and knives with blade down to minimise food cling, and position spoons alternating in a flatware basket so they’re not nesting together.

Whenever possible, only run full loads. It takes the same amount of energy to run a Fully Integrated Dishwasher Erith regardless of how many dishes you add, so wasting water and energy on partially filled loads is wasteful. Plus, running a dishwasher only when it’s full ensures that everything gets thoroughly cleaned.
