When you open the office dishwasher, does it smell pure clean and happiness or funky unclean and misery?

If it happens to be the latter, follow these easy tricks on how to banish bad odours away from your dishes. 

First we need to get it pure clean

Place a cup of white vinegar on the top rack of the empty dishwasher and set it on the hottest washing cycle. The acids in the vinegar will help break down any residues that remain in the interior of your dishwasher. 

Second we need to create happiness

Squeeze the juice of a lemon or orange into the liquid detergent compartment and set it to steam dry. The citric acid will neutralize the odours caused by food-particle buildup. Once this cycle is complete, leave the door open to let the dishwasher air out completely. Repeat the process if needed. 

Maintain your dishwasher from food, grease and limescale build-up. Give it the attention it needs and you can keep your dishwasher smelling fresh and clean for years to come.
