4. Clean the filter weekly
Most dishwasher manufacturers recommend you clean the fine filter once a week. If too much debris and gunk fill your filter, it can cause your dishwasher to overflow all over your kitchen! A weekly cleaning takes just a few minutes. Remove the filter and rinse under hot water. Add a few drops of dishwashing detergent and rub over the filter until it is clean. Rinse well and place back in the dishwasher.

5. Look under the course filter
You’ve cleaned the inside of your dishwasher. One place an amazing amount of dishwasher gunk hides is in the bottom underneath the course filter. If you’ve never looked, you may be amazed at how much buildup can happen in this one spot. To clean it, create a paste of white vinegar and baking soda. Apply to the dirty area and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Rub gently with a clean sponge. You may need to repeat the baking soda paste application a few times to thoroughly remove the buildup.
