HODGE PODGE DAY: DISHWASHER TIPS
Today I have tips from readers regarding cleaning
dishwashers. A note on the Kool-Aid-use PLAIN,
unsweetened Kool-Aid in the packets.
I have discovered that putting some vitamin C tablets
into the wash cycle also whitens the inside of my
dishwasher to make it look like new. I place 3 tablets
into the soap dispenser and it cleans like magic!

I have a wonderful tip for cleaning the dishwasher.
I have done this now for a few years and even my
repairman said he tells folks to do this since I
mentioned it to him. You put 1 cup of bleach in a
2 cup measuring cup, add 2 tablespoons of Mineral
Oil and the rest with water to reach 2 cups. Pour
that in the bottom of your dishwasher, let stand
overnight or longer, it won't hurt the washer parts.
Then when ready to wash dishes, turn it on. This
is advised to do once a month. It disinfects, lubricates
and helps the inside of the dishwasher in many ways.
The parts that run need the mineral oil and it's
biodegradable instead of an oil or grease that isn't
good for the dishes/us! Really, really works! ~Amy
To clean my dishwasher I put 1 pkg. of Kool-Aid
Lemonade in the soap dispenser and run it through
a wash cycle and it comes out clean and smelling
great! ~Chris in Nebraska
We live in the South where there is a lot of iron in
the water. The best thing I've found to get the
dishwasher looking like new is Vitamin C tablets.
For the initial cleaning , put six to eight of the
Vitamin C tablets in the soap dispenser and run
it full cycle. After the initial cleaning, just add
about 4 Vitamin C tablets a week to keep your
dishwasher looking good. ~Judy
