Dishwasher Funk?!

The dishwasher is a true kitchen workhorse, diligently cleaning your dishes after every meal. But what happens when your trusty appliance starts emitting unpleasant odors, accumulates nasty sludge, and falls victim to hard water deposits? It's time for a thorough dishwasher rescue mission!

Understanding the Culprits: Stink, Sludge, and Hard Water

Before diving into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand the root causes of your dishwasher's troubles.

  2. Nasty Sludge: The accumulation of food debris, soap scum, and mineral deposits over time can create a thick, greasy sludge that lines the interior of the dishwasher, affecting its performance and cleanliness.
  3. Hard Water Deposits: If your water supply is hard (containing a high concentration of minerals like calcium and magnesium), it can leave mineral deposits on your dishwasher's interior components, such as the spray arms and glassware.
