Cleaning a disgusting dishwasher

It is so disgusting to open up your dishwasher after it's finished a cycle only to find that your dishes aren't clean. The most likely cause for this is because the filters inside your dishwasher are dirty and instead of washing all the dirt and grime away, it washes back up onto what are supposed to be clean dishes. This video shows you how to clean your dishwasher quickly and cheaply so that you always have clean and sparkling dishes every time!

When you mix the baking soda (a base) and vinegar (an acid), you NEUTRLIZE both! Remember your high school or college chemistry?? Do each component separately.

[@tjdot8]

Glad someone said so

[@shortfuse43]

@Micah Epps The only moles I know anything about are the ones tunneling up my yard........LOL

[@savanahmaynard3022]

Use 1 cup vinegar FIRST which will break up grime and disinfect, set on hottest longest cycle. SECOND sprinkle in 1 cup of baking soda which will deodorize, sent on hottest longest cycle. DON’T MIX. The process will work better when you do them separately😊

[@davidoliver6597]

baking soda can be abrasive on the pumps. Highly recommend Finish Dishwasher clean instead. It has Citric Acid to get rid of scale and mineral deposits. Far more effective than this and safer for the machine.

She’s a champ touching those parts with bare hands. I cleaned my dishwasher today and was grossed out! I could never w/o🧤. You go lady!

[@TheEvie202]

This is a great vídeo because the manual never tells you to do this cleaning! Thanks and greetings from New York City:)👍🏼

[@anitarajput11]

Kindly iron out outdoor for the filter and no scrubbing As a bonus it would shine your stainless steel sink also

[@jaybratt]

I had no idea how GROSS my dishwasher was! This was the first thing that came up on google when I searched how to clean my disgusting dishwasher so I imagine you'll get moee views on it soon. Keep up the good cleaning!

[@DoItFrugal]

Glad I could help!

[@ilovecarnivalcruisechannel6541]

I'm obsessed with finding videos of this now - I just did my dishwasher today and I was literally appalled - all the black mold and grease, I literally couldn't believe it - no wonder sickness is so common these days, we just don't know!!

[@readerunite]

Wish my dishwasher had such an easy to remove filter. Interesting video.

[@DoItFrugal]

Thanks for watching!

This is an EXCELLENT video- but it does beg the question, "if dishwashers are supposed to save me work, and i have to deep clean it once every 8 weeks, and i ALSO have to scoot the crumbs from my dishes under the sink before i put them in the dishwasher.....rendering the dishes 85% clean already before i use the dishwasher.........uh....why do i have a dishwasher?" I am going to get rid of this old thing i think and just wash dishes by hand, and obviate the work/smell/electronic load altogether. Sink, dry rack, done. No plumbing problem waiting to happen, gaskets that don't fit, etc., etc.

[@aarono7026]

That said, the video really IS good and details the problems to tackle very thoroughly. Really, really good video.

[@set3777]

I just soak all dishes and bowls in water immediately after meals then just pour away the water with solids into the insinkerator and put the still oily dishes and bowls into the dishwasher. And by using "Cascade (=Fairy) Platinum" pods, I NEVER EVER have to clean my dishwasher. Only people who always put solid food wastes into the dishwashers (believing some "no rinsing" lie) will have to clean the dishwasher periodically.

[@debranorby4299]

Thanks so much for this visual explanation of how to clean a dishwasher--it's so helpful!

[@DoItFrugal]

Glad it was helpful! :-)

[@abca715]

Thank you

[@dottieferrell1546]

I would like to hire this lovely lady to help me clean stuff I usually don't think to clean. I thought I was a great home maker until I watched some of these video's.

[@furyzlm7853]

this lady did a great job here 👏

[@jemhem]

Most dishwashers pump out before the cycle starts. So start the cycle wait for a minute or two then open the door and add the vinegar. Otherwise some of the vinegar and soda will be pumped out before the cycle even begins.

[@Dirty_Bear22]

Appliance tech here. Baking soda and vinegar as a cleaner is one of the biggest scientific crimes... when you mix an acid and alkaline together you get salt. The end result of baking soda and vinegar is salt water, absolutely no cleaning properties. Vinegar alone is acetic acid, which overtime eats rubber seals. Pure Citric acid or premade dishwasher cleaner should be used to remove hard water build up, some dishwasher cleaners also have detergent to break down residual grease.

[@johnds1963]

@@Dirty_Bear22 What about getting rid of mold? You can clean all the external parts, but mold still exists in all the plumbing. Is there a way to get the internal pipe surfaces free of mold residue?

[@Dirty_Bear22]

@@johnds1963 Mold gets killed in hot temperatures. Run the dishwasher with affresh dishwasher cleaner on the longest hottest cycle, if your dishwasher has a sanitize option use that as well. Sanitize cycles use 155 degree water for one or more hours, more then enough to kill any possible mold.

Thank you for this video. It helped with time, money, and cleaning my dishwasher! ❤️

[@AndreaS-kj4rb]

Her dishwasher isn't disgusting... I want to see another video having a black plagued washer being scrubbed

[@peggydewey8400]

first time to clean the dishwasher. Thannks for the tips

[@allisonsitter9386]

I just tried this so I hope it works!

[@barbaralong8651]

My filter is easily removed but is attached to sprayer arm on bottom. This makes it difficult to run machine to maximum efficiency.

[@YourCapyBruv_do_u_rmbr_3Dpipes]

I AM SO SCARED TO DIVE INTO MY DISGUSTING APARTMENT DISHWASHER It works fine when clean but it's a cheap af pos as you can imagine PLEASE PLEASE WISH ME LUCK ILL BE IN A FULL BIOHAZARD SUIT I truly hope that's enough protection Men (ladies) I'M GOING ON- GOD HELP ME if I don't make it back please tell Sparkles my cat I love him and take care of him! I salute all of you brave warriors

[@auntnatalie]

How did you find the filter? How did you get to it? That’s all I wanted out of this video and I’m still left up in the air. You sounded so good at the beginning.

[@Dave_the_Dave]

The baking soda will neutralize the vinegar (hence the fizzy reaction), so that vinegar is not going to do any cleaning. Do one or the other, but not both.

[@Meterman13]

Tang orange drink works great

[@claudettejordan319]

I really like your video I learned a lot from you about cleaning my dishwasher and you were very thorough with it I really appreciate your video I have a dishwasher Apple Watch I’ve had enough and never cleaned it I’ve had it for at least three years brand new from Sears is the washing good but now it’s not washing good so now I know what to do thanks to you

[@DoItFrugal]

Glad it was helpful! You're so welcome :)

[@simonci5177]

Can you make video, show dirty filter, run vinegar and baking soda, and show if this would clen filter itself itself, please.

[@hibamohamad6368]

amazing amazing job. u helped a lot.

How do I clean my older dishwasher

[@DoItFrugal]

Donna, depending on how old the dishwasher is, I would look online to see if you can find the instruction manual (if you don't have it already), then I would find out how to disassemble the filter and clean that thoroughly in hot soapy water. For me, anything that I could disassemble and take out of the dishwasher to clean them, I would do. But you want to consult the instructions first, so that you don't unintentionally break anything or get water where it should be. Following that, wipe down the inside of the dishwasher with hot soapy water, as much as possible, to remove any built up scum. Once you've done that, I'd use the vinegar and bi-carb soda to deodorise any lingering odours. Hopefully you find this information helpful.

[@mamachida1]

Thank u!!

[@DoItFrugal]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@alloverdaplace2043]

Mine still smells bad even after all this. Must be something in the tubing deeper than the exterior

[@DoItFrugal]

There some dishwasher cleaners that you can buy from the store that may help with this. I haven’t had a problem . Perhaps using one of those might help get the lingering smell to go away, as they contain harsher chemicals that can break down any nasties down the tubes that keep your dishwasher from smelling fresh.

[@alloverdaplace2043]

@@DoItFrugal I'll will certainly look into this. Thank you for the response!

[@bogdannb]

Because you used vinegar and soda together. They neutralise each other and make a salt only🤣🤣🤣

I've watched a lot of these cleaning videos and the one universal question I have for everyone: don't you people use gloves?!
