Noticing that your dishwasher isn’t cleaning as effectively as it used to? This is a common issue with aging dishwashers, but there are a few simple steps you can take to help your appliance work at its best.
- Use the Right Amount of Detergent
Both too much and too little detergent can lead to problems. Using too much detergent may leave residue on your dishes, while too little can result in dirty dishes. Check your user manual and the detergent packaging for guidance to find the perfect amount. - Clean the Dishwasher Regularly
A clogged drain can impact your dishwasher’s performance. If you have a garbage disposal, be sure to run it before starting a load, as the disposal and dishwasher often share the same drain. Run your dishwasher empty once in a while, using white vinegar to give the interior a thorough cleaning. - Adjust the Water Temperature
Does it take a while for hot water to reach your kitchen sink? If so, your dishwasher may also be struggling to get hot water quickly at the start of its cycle, which can affect cleaning efficiency. Adjusting the temperature on your water heater can help solve this.
