Glad you liked it!

Cut right to the chase ! Appreciate it. Unfortunately I think my places has a older dishwasher so we will see.

@sudynim Everything but the brand of the dishwasher in the title

Start rinsing the dishes off. Manufactures do not put disposals in dishwashers anymore and haven't for years. There is only a small fine screen to stop food particles that gets stopped up if you do not remove it and clean all the garbage that you leave on. the dishes No dishwasher or dishwasher soap will clean all the garbage off your plates or other items in the dishwasher. Their ads claiming their products will clean it all are fake and lies!!!

But he failed to warn viewers, ensure the bleach and vinegar don't mix because it releases very toxic chlorine gas

Those cleaners are mostly powdered Citric Acid. You can buy a tub of that stuff cheap, it's good for cleaning both dishwasher and washing machines.

Thank you glad it was helpful 👍

Nice work

How'd it go??

Read your instruction manual.

IT really works, his filter looks clean compared to mine - grossest stuff ever!! I live in an apt with years of use. I am also a firm believer in cleaning with vinegar - no chemicals! and cheap. I use it for drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.

Thank you for watching 👍

Thanks 🙏

Thanks for the tidbits ! 👍

Right. Saving few dollars on electricity and water usage, but after few years dishwasher ends up on wastefield. Old ones can still run even after 20 years. Now tell me, what is more Eco? New dishwasher after 3, 5 years?

​@@kaminson7804that's his whole point. It's better to use longer hotter cycle than buying constantly new parts or a new machine

Thanks so much!

Glad you enjoyed it!

When I get apartments ready for move in I always like to do this :)

Nice fix / clean !

Our rental agency got this exact same model to replace the previous, 30 year old dishwasher. Within two months of use, we had the same buildup of soap scum, except it also had mold. I’ve never seen a dishwasher need to be cleaned that quickly, and those weren’t brand new. Had it been my choice, I would’ve bought a Bosch.

Yes, once a month cleaning of the filter should help :)

I check the little filter every time I run my machine! All it takes is one rouge corn kernel to mess it up lol I don't want to take my chances

Thank you for the input!!

I throw one of those cleaner tabs in there without any dishes every few months when i think about it. Dishwasher is old enough i can't find it on whirlpools site and I've been here 7 years and never cleaned the filter. Going to give it a go. Anxious to try the baking soda hack. I was generally reading about not mixing baking soda and vinegar to clean and specifically they say to use baking soda for cleaning and vinegar as a rinse. Either order, posters machine looks great now!

Nice Janet! Hope it comes out nice and clean 👍

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro YES it did thanks to YOU!!!! Going forward we will wash the filter weekly and then do the whole process from the video monthly.

Ok full disclosure maybe 2x’s a year. It’s better than my previous schedule of never ever! Thx again for such a helpful walk through!

You're welcome!

No problem 👍

Me neither! I've tried so many times but always stopped cuz I was afraid of breaking it. I just wasn't prying hard enough

my dishwasher grows lots of beans here

Thanks for the tip!

Agreed. Combining those 2 is a dangerous recommendation. You should re-do this video with that taken out. Seriously.

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Please fix and re-upload!! Super dangerous reccomendations you're making

He’s not mixing a bunch of bleach with the vinegar. Just the tiny bit of residue from the cleaning. It’s fine.

@@CreachterZSeriously, and rinsing it off with water dilutes it even further. People always have something to say

Any time

Thanks for the tips!

Do you place the bowl with this mixture on the top rack and run a full cycle? After that you run a cycle with the citric acid? Did I get it right? Thanks for the tip! 😊

@@claudiaoliveira-usa well actually the mixture can poured directly inside the dishwasher, on bottom of the dishwasher. I have heard this from another source, someone who tests various things and they said that instead a tablet going inside the little compartment, they should be placed on the bottom of the washer, I have not tried as I don't have a dishwasher but I do use the dishwasher products because they are very for cleaning especially if you happen to come across something for example you may forgotten about and it's been on the top of cupboard, collecting dust and grease, absolutely amazing for any kind hard to remove stuff.....think hoarder type homes where dirt may be quite deep or very stubborn. The citric acid is great for lots of things, one use is for limescale removal (if you don't like harsh chemicals, good alternative) use it as you would use a rinse aid in your dishwasher, add maybe a spoonful to an ounce of water and use that instead of the rinsing agent. What I like to do is to fill a spray bottle with water and add a few spoonfuls and that makes a great glass cleaner, again, you can buy window cleaner etc but it's got so many uses, I use it in cooking also and for a nice lemon tea. May I ask what the problem is, is it just that over your dishwasher collected residue but it's clean, it just has water marks? If this is the case then I would sprinkle maybe half a mug or glass at the bottom of the washer and put it on a wash, maybe add more if quite severly full of limescale. Hope this helps?

I'm curious if anyone here has run this through their dishwasher? Washing up liquid i think is British for what Americans call dish soap and half a mug might cause a sudsing overload??

@@woodstream6137 oh this mixture would not be for a dishwasher, I would never recommend such a high quantity of soap etc as it foam up and cause s major issue. This mixture is for if I'm washing something greasy or tough dirt build up, even if it's not mega dirty but if I just want to be able to wash something super quickly. One tablet should be enough for a regular dishwasher, I would add citric acid occasionally to either a dishwasher or washing machine but that doesn't cause any build up. I do the same for kettles and irons and when you're finished you can make yourself a lovely iced tea and add a dash of citric acid lol

You're so welcome!

Run water until hot (120 degrees f) so water entering dishwasher is hot

The first pass of water is a rinse, and it doesn't heat the water. This way the initial rinse cycle is hot. Then, hopefully it's still a bit hot for when the unit starts the wash cycle and it doesn't have to work as hard to raise and maintain the temperature.

Thank you!!!

Glad it helped!

Glad it was helpful!

Awesome ours is so gross I could cry I keep the filter clean but it gets mold in it and a jelly like residue . I’m going to clean it tonight and hope ours turns out as nice as yours . Thank you for the tip .

Glad it helped!

just don't mix the two 👍

Thank you!

Let us know how it turns out 👍

You are welcome!

Awesome! Thanks for watching Allen!

I do this too…pop on of those cleaning tablets into the dishwasher and hit “self clean”…I also run an affresh tablet through the disposal. Keeps the dishwasher smelling nice and in top top shape.

Recommended by the manufacturer for optimal sanitation

No problem 👍

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro thanks again, worked like a charm! It even cleaned up that gunked up little bit water by the drain.
