Thanks Andrea I notice you have a 2 filters that you left in. Do you ever remove those to clean? They are in the center bottom one is a cylinder shape you twist it and it pulls up and out, the other is flat in a partial circle, surrounding the cylinder filter. Hope that helps. I am trying to find a way to get my dishwasher to fully empty water and actually clean dishes. I do run the garbage disposal beforehand. Feeling like going back to hand washing and using dishwasher for the drying rack.

Step 1 make sure you get anything that stuck or wipe out the dishwasher if it got food particles stuck to it. Step 2 sit one cup of vinegar on top rack and run dishwasher. Step 3 pour 1 cup of baking soda in bottom and run cycle

[@suegoetz1221]

wows. This worked unbelievably well. My DW was stinky and the trap was covered with black grease. i didn't think i could clean something that was so disgusting. I did remove the black stuff by hand (vomit) then i used your vinegar trick. Wow. Smells better already. I also ran the Baking soda, but not sure what that will do. The vinegar i think took care of the grease. i am now subscribed to your channel. I appreciate that you talk fast and that your videos are short.

[@lynndale8896]

I have used this on a dishwasher that was used for over a year and never cleaned before and it work and made and smelled amazing threw the hole dishwasher and 5he dishes looked cleaner then ever it works amazingly well

[@aklokoth]

thanks bro, wife kept using the dishwasher and i noticed the bowls and plates had a smell to them. fixed that right up with this video

[@jordan.h6821]

Did you do both cycles the vinegar and the baking soda

[@davidstepeck2644]

Nice video, however, the first thing you should do is remove the bottom filter and clean it with hot water and dish soap. Also, clean the cavity where you removed the filter. Lastly, dirt and grime always accumulate around the rubber seal but especially at the bottom of the dishwasher along the door. After doing the above, follow Andrea’s video instructions and your dishwasher will be super clean and odorless!

[@bc1969214]

This is not just stronger vinegar, there's a bunch of other stuff in there like butyl carbitol. Look at the back label where all the ingredients and warnings are about not pouring down drains. It's use is meant to be used to wipe a surface clean with a paper towel then the towel goes in the garbage.

[@sanrok2]

Wow. I would have never guessed. Thanks for the heads up.

[@SkinE-Vadee-Veechee]

Its all coming out the same hole

[@Presence_o_Mind]

People overlook things like this so easily. I've worked in chemical plants for over 10 years. Major manufacturing plants have water treatment facilities on the premises. They help balance the pH and treat the water before releasing it to the sewer systems and environment. This is huge. When dumping acid into the water systems, the environment pays a heavy price. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@margaretwilliams7155]

I bought it and then read it.🙁

[@Myeyesburnbabyburn]

I wonder? I see one on Amazon from Natural Elements 30% and it specifically says you can use it for garbage disposal…

[@csonkaperdido]

Thank you for this! I bought a house with a dishwasher that's like 10-15 years old... It works great as far as removing grease goes. But I kept smelling a funk, coming from what I thought was the drain. I ran an entire bottle of Dawn power wash through the drain, followed by an organic orange oil drain declogger and deodorizer. Didn't help. I didn't run the dishwasher for a few days, and when I opened it up I was like OMG HOLY MOTHER OF STANKNESS!! I removed the filter cover and there were nasty, clumpy, almost glued in chunks of nastiness everywhere and blocking the drain. I cleaned that off. I did this exactly as described in this video. I have a brand new dishwasher. It's AMAZING. Cleans better than the $2400 dishwasher in my old house. Glasses come out sparkling and I only use a little bit of rinse aid. It's amazing. You're a wonderful person.

[@rossivytech2034]

It is not brand new, it is still old

I just got my first dishwasher. My dishes have a funky smell after cleaning them in the dishwasher. I cleaned out the filters. Now I'm running it on hot using your vinegar trick. Here's to hoping!

[@jaymoneydfg]

Mine had that smell as well, I would usually hand wash my dishes & let them dry in the dishwater & they had this horrible smell to them. So I knew it needed a deep cleaning at that point.

[@junkmale123]

@@jaymoneydfg I tried the hot wash and vinegar trick twice. I also tried the baking soda trick as well. I actually bought a pack of dishwasher "pucks" and tried that as well. My cups especially still have that lingering smell, so I end up washing them in the sink sometimes after a dishwash...I still can't shake the funky smell totally. Any ideas?

[@jaymoneydfg]

@@junkmale123 the odor still lingered in my cups also..I think it’s with the dishwasher itself & the water that sits there cause it’s a very distinct smell. So I just try to keep my dishwasher clean but I don’t use it anymore.

[@slayer1112man]

I did this once. See dishwasher was new has a wire issue but tried using it an it wouldn't run the entire cycle. So didn't use it an didn't know it molded inside. Well clean mold out an closed it back up. So now it's fixed and used it a few time an it still got that mold smell. It's winter so I can't open the door and open windows to complete air out. But I'd really like get rid of the smell.. haven't cleaned the drain yet but maybe that has mold in it.. is that a possibility?

[@snicklefritz61]

Does the dishwasher need to be empty when you do the vinegar thing?

[@AndreaJean]

Yes 👍

[@davidh9844]

Citric acid rather than vinegar also does an amazing job. Also good if you are canning fruits and jams.

[@Christarose6423]

Just bought a house and the dishwasher smells HORRENDOUS. Going to try this! Thanks!

[@JesusSaves77799]

You can check the filter too if it’s dirty and clean that too! Just google your brand and how to clean the filter! 🙏💖💖

[@NJgrandma]

I’ve been using “Afresh” since it came with my dishwasher, but on a daily basis I put a small bowl of white vinegar in the top rack when I run the cleaning cycle (with the dirty dishes).

[@lisahines8176]

I keep plain white vinegar in the “rinse aid” compartment.

[@sarabrinsfield]

how much like a cup maybe??

[@leeannbroomhalladams1575]

Wow. I have been in quite a few Dollar Tree stores and never seen cleaning vinegar there. What is the difference in putting the vinegar in the top rack and running the load and pouring the vinegar in the machine and running the machine?

[@bc1969214]

This cleaning vinegar is a whole other beast if you look at the back label, not meant to go down drains like the dishwasher.

[@erinmaclean5064]

You can also find cleaning vinegar at Walmart, but regular white vinegar will work as well

[@jordan.h6821]

@@erinmaclean5064 just put it in a cup and leave on high temperature right

[@erinmaclean5064]

@@jordan.h6821 yes any coffee mug or glass measuring cup will do. Even a small glass bowl

[@chipmunkwarcry]

Putting the cup of vinegar on the top rack ensures the vinegar will still be there during the main wash cycle (the longest cleaning cycle). The vinegar (and water) at the bottom of the machine will only clean for the pre wash and then get drained away before the main wash cycle.

[@jennifergramirez]

Can you use Apple Cider Vinegar if you don’t have white vinegar?

[@AndreaJean]

Yes 👍

[@elsut2357]

Can I do this method for my wash machine ?

[@scanety]

Hi there--I have searched over and over for a solution to my issue which NOBODY seems to address: how to get the dishwasher hose CLEAN. The drainage hose from d/w to garbage disposal SMELLS horrible and I want to know what the solution is. You can see black gunk in the hose, near the disposal--and I can SMELL it. Everything works fine. No drainage issues. If anyone has a link to solve this issue, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

[@1OverByGodsLove]

How about replacing the hose?

[@chipmunkwarcry]

What about a long flexible scrubber? That might work. At the very least it should help break apart the gunk and make it easier for the vinegar to go in and clean the rest

[@larrygunnell8031]

I have a whirlpool dishwasher that looks just like yours. Theres a vent on the left side that gets blocked when the door is closed. I was afraid to leave it like that and moved the machine out so i can see the control panel with the door closed and the vent isn't venting into the cabinet that could either warp the wood or cause mold. Any thoughts?

try pickling vinegar. It is more concentrated. ~10% acetic acid.

[@unclemearl]

Any reason for separate cycles as some places do both products in 1 ?

[@chipmunkwarcry]

Baking soda mixed with vinegar neutralize each other, so they wouldn’t be as strong if you run them in the same wash
