Before you start cleaning the dishwasher you will need either bleach, vinegar, baking soda or Orange Tang drink mix.

Before you begin cleaning the dishwasher read the operating manual to find the temperature preset. Dishwashers usually require water at 60-75 degrees or higher for optimum cleaning. If you are a perfectionist, use a thermometer to measure the water temperature before the wash cycle begins.

To clean any built up mould in the dishwasher add 1 tablespoon of bleach into the dishwasher interior, bleach should get rid of mould and leave the dishwasher sparkling clean.

The citric acid present in Orange Tang will take care of any discoloration and scale. Tang orange can also help remove any hard water deposits that might have built up over a period of time.

Another easy way to clean your dishwasher is to place a coffee cup filled with vinegar in the dishwashing rack and run a full cycle of dishwashing. You can also use baking soda instead of vinegar to give your dishwasher a complete wash.
