I’m going to do a poll because I’m wondering what percentage of dishwasher owners know they are supposed to regularly clean the filter. I had no idea until I read this article today. It took me only 10 minutes but look at the before and after photos. My dishwasher is only a few. years old…I can only imagine what my old one would have looked like. Still gross though…. I’d love to know your comments on whether or not you knew this was supposed to be done!
Check out the Better Homes and Gardens article that inspired this cleaning….and learn how to do it yourself.
How to Clean a Dishwasher Filter So Your Dishes Sparkle
I knew, but I’m nerdy that way
I clean mine regularly. I learned it from Sarah at GoCleanCo on instagram.
Yes, I started cleaning my filter a few years ago. I also clean the garbage disposal which gets really gross!
I had a little leak about 2 months during wash cycles, so I googled and found that you should being doing this! Another tip is that you are supposed to take an old toothbrush and warm water (no soap) an lightly scrub the rubber casing along the perimeter of machine. It fixed the prob!
