4 tips for a dishwasher that smells

If your dishwasher doesn't smell very good, follow the tips below.

• Tip 1. Scrape your plates.
• Tip 2. Clean the dishwasher
• Tip 3. Use a cleaner.
• Tip 4. Use a freshener.

Before you put your dishes in the dishwasher, scrape food rests off your dishes as much as possible. This prevents pieces of spaghetti or nasi from staying behind in the dishwasher. This is an especially useful tip is you don't use the dishwasher every day.

You have to regularly clean your dishwasher to ensure it keeps working properly. Remove the filter and spray arm nozzles and clean them under the faucet. Use a cloth to wipe the door seal and descale the appliance if needed.

You can clean parts that are difficult to clean with a special cleaner for dishwashers, such as the pipes. This way, you clean the appliance inside and out.

Didn't the tips above work and is your dishwasher still smelly? Go for a freshener or neutralizer. You can hang it inside the dishwasher to mask the smell of unpleasant odors.
