Dishwashers need to be cleaned too

Give your dishwasher a rinse every month: Empty it and remove bottom rack to access drain and get rid of any gunk inside.  Fill a dishwasher-safe bowl with an upright cup of vinegar and place on upper rack.  Run through a hot-water cycle.  Sprinkle about 3/4 cup of baking soda across bottom of dishwasher and run another hot-water cycle. - Woman’s Day, November 2018
