Choosing a dishwasher is a real investment. At least, it should be a real investment because if you choose the right dishwasher and you know how to take care of that dishwasher, you could keep it working for years and years to come.
So, what are the most important dishwasher facts to be aware of?
Cleaning Your Machine
Clean your machine once a month in order to remove any kind of build up of grease or lime scale. You can buy special cleaning liquids for dishwashers from any supermarket and it doesn't cost a lot of money either.
Loading Your Machine
Most people don't realize that they can do damage to their machine or their dishware if loading a dishwasher poorly. The basic facts are as follows: heavier and dirtier items should always go on the bottom rack, more delicate items, such as glasses, should always go on the top. Cutlery handles should face downwards in the cutlery basket to make sure that they are cleaned properly and no items should be touching each other for optimum cleaning.
Soften the Water
Using a water softener tablet in your dishwasher it means that your glasses and plates are less likely to finish the cycle with streaks. Hard water can also create blockages and reduce the life of your machine. Invest in some water softening tablets and enjoy a fully functioning machine for years to come.
Why Does My Dishwasher Need Salt?
Salt replenishes the softener tablets and helps them to do their job, but many people think it is a lever idea to just add ordinary salt to their machine in order to save a little on expense. Don't do this! Ordinary salt will increase water hardness and reduce the lifetime of your machine. Granular salt for dishwashers is the only kind of salt you should use at any time.
Vinegar
A quick tip, if you find that your glasses are still leaving the dishwasher cloudy-looking and musty, is to soak glasses in vinegar for about five minutes after you have washed them. If the cloudiness goes, then you need to add more softener or salt to your machine because deposits of either may be low.
Invest time, a little more money and lots of care into your dishwasher and you will be able to get many, many years out of your purchase. Dishwashers don't have to be like goldfish. They can live as long as turtles if you treat them well.
