Clean & Sanitize A Dishwasher

Ever notice that nasty film and those horrible spots on your dishes and glasses after they were just washed in your dishwasher? If yes, it's time to clean the inside of your dishwasher.


Instructions


1. Empty your dishwasher. Place a dishwasher-safe bowl on the bottom rack. Pour two cups of distilled white vinegar into the dishwasher. Run the wash and rinse cycles only. When cycle is completed, open dishwasher door and let it air-dry.


2. Sprinkle a few tablespoons (at least 2 or 3 tablespoons) of orange-drink powder Tang mix inside the empty dishwasher, then run the wash and rinse cycles. When completed, open the door and let it air-dry.


3. If there are stains inside the dishwasher that will not wash away, try rubbing them off with baking soda on a wet cloth. Also, sprinkle some baking soda on the bottom of the dishwasher before each use to enhance cleaning power of your regular dishwasher detergent.
