Dishwasher detergent: how to choose, instructions for use

Modern appliances for the care of dishes perfectly clean the dirt of any plates and mugs, but even such devices need regular cleaning. Therefore, the means for cleaning the dishwasher is already an essential element in the kitchen for many people. After all, it can precisely and reliably remove the device from dust, scum and fat, thereby preparing it for a new approach of dirty dishes.

Contamination of the dishwasher

The dishwasher cleaning agent can remove grease and other contaminants that remain after washing dishes. Unfortunately, not all contaminants can be neutralized with hot water or powder, since they settle on the bottom of the working compartment in layers, eventually it becomes more difficult to clean them.

Most often they stay on the screen filters, thus not allowing the dishwasher to function in normal mode. As a rule, professionals in such cases recommend removing filters and cleaning, but it is rather difficult to do. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean the dishwasher from grease or scale with special means, the components of which perform cleaning functions. If you regularly use tablets and liquids, then the device will not break down suddenly and create inconvenience to the owner.

Manual or automatic cleaning

Most people believe that if they bought a dishwasher cleaning product and then performed all the actions in accordance with the instructions, then nothing more will be required of them. In fact, this is a misconception. One single automatic cleaning does not save the machine from all the accumulated pollution for a long time. Whatever one may say, and hands still have to work. In the case of the accumulation of a huge amount of fat or scale, experts advise starting to clean up by hand.

Disassemble the dishwasher completely completely not necessary, because you only need to clean some of its elements:

• The garbage filter;
• Rubber seals;
• Impeller nozzles;
• Baskets for dishes;
• Internal walls.

Clearing the above items, you can immediately start to automatically clean. To do this, it is necessary to make a simple machine cleaning, but, instead of dishwashing detergent, pour the dishwasher cleaner.

Only in the case of compliance with all the above rules, the machine will serve its owner for a long time and reliably.

Home remedies

If there is no possibility or desire to purchase a special product in the store, then there are other cleaning methods. Without too much effort, you can prepare yourself a solution that, like chemicals, will clean the dishwasher of grease and other dirt.

Cleaning the dishwasher with vinegar and soda always comes first, as it is the most effective. It is produced in a few simple steps and takes not much time, although you will have to spend a little more effort than using a purchased cleaner.

From the dishwasher, you need to remove the garbage filter, mesh, as well as the basket, where all the dishes are stacked, and the impeller. All these details should be omitted in a solution of vinegar and soda (2 tablespoons per glass of vinegar). Then you need to rinse all the elements with a soapy solution and put them back into the machine. At the very bottom, it is necessary to place a glass with vinegar (9%), and carefully treat all other details with soda. After that, you need to run the longest cycle of washing (always at a temperature of 60 degrees) and wait for the perfect cleanliness.

The second place is the method of cleaning with powder borax. It takes almost as much time as the previous method, but the effect will be slightly worse. First you need to clean the machine by hand, and then carefully and gently wash the walls and all parts with a damp sponge. Next, you need to take the main component - the powder borer. It should cover all the internal elements of the dishwasher, and then, just like in the previous method, start a long cycle and wait for the result.

Another effective solution is soda and natural hydrogen peroxide. This will require a whole batch of baking soda, which must be mixed with a bottle of peroxide. If desired, you can add a couple dozen drops of any essential oil, in order to create a greater effect and a pleasant aroma. This mixture should be thoroughly mixed and placed in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes. After the time has elapsed, it is necessary to get the resulting mass and to form a lump of not too large a size. It must be put in the basket for the dishes, and then restart the longest cycle at the maximum temperature.
