Between visits from your San Diego janitorial and cleaning company, it is important to make sure that your dishwasher stays clean. Whether you have a large, commercial washer for your restaurant kitchen, or a standard sized machine for your office kitchen, there are several things that you can do to make sure that it runs smoothly and keeps your dishes clean.
After a while, every dishwasher runs the risk of becoming a source of unpleasant odors as well as a breeding ground for bacteria, due to food particles, grease, and soap scum build up. On a regular basis, use a sponge to clean out the crevices and spaces where particles gather, making sure to rinse with soapy water.
Remove the bottom rack and clean away any debris from the drain area, which can cause the water pump to clog and lead to leaks and costly repairs. On the top rack, place a small cup of plain white vinegar in the center and run a dishwashing cycle. This is a natural way to remove odors, sanitize, and further clean your washer.
Like all other appliances, the best way to keep your dishwasher clean and running efficiently is with regular maintenance. Ask your San Diego cleaning company for more tips on how to get the most out of your dishwasher.
