Essential dishwasher accessories to improve cleaning performance

When it comes to kitchen appliances, the dishwasher is undoubtedly a household hero. However, to maximise its efficiency and longevity, you need more than just the machine itself. At Appliances Online, we believe in enhancing your dishwasher experience with some must-have accessories that you may not have known you needed.

Regular use of your dishwasher can lead to the build-up of grease, limescale, and hidden dirt. A high-quality dishwasher cleaner and deodoriser is an essential accessory that ensures your machine is not only sparkling clean but also smells fresh.

With the increasing number of dishwasher safe utensils in the market, it's essential to keep track of which items can go in the dishwasher. Dishwasher safe labels are a simple yet effective accessory that can help prevent damage to your utensils and your dishwasher.

If you live in a region with hard water, dishwasher salt is a must-have. It helps in softening the water, enhancing the effectiveness of the detergent, and preventing limescale build-up, thereby prolonging the life of your dishwasher.

A dishwasher cutlery basket is a handy accessory that helps organise your utensils, ensuring they are cleaned effectively. It also protects delicate utensils from damage.

A dishwasher cover attaches to the front door panel of the dishwasher, to not only protect the exterior of the machine from scratches and stains but also add an aesthetic appeal to your kitchen. Covers are usually magnetic and feature pictures or designs.

Small, lightweight items, like children's plastic bowls and cups, can easily get dislodged during a wash cycle. A silicone 'net' that stretches across the dishwasher's drawer is a perfect solution to keep these items in place.

Rinse aid is a liquid that you add to a dedicated compartment in the machine to aid in spotless and streak-free drying of dishes, glasses and cutlery. It also helps to speed up the drying process.

For freestanding dishwashers, a mounting bracket is an essential accessory that ensures the stability of the machine, preventing it from tipping over.

A well-maintained dishwasher not only ensures clean and hygienic utensils, but also contributes to the overall efficiency of your kitchen. So, don't overlook these essential dishwasher accessories.
