3. A Clean Dishwasher = Cleaner Dishes

If your dishes aren’t coming out clean, it’s likely that your dirty dishwasher is the culprit. (Yes, they need cleaning sometimes, too.) It’s easy:

– Check the drain to make sure it’s free of debris.

– Place a clean cup filled with white vinegar in the top rack of the dishwasher and run a wash cycle on the hottest water setting.

– After the vinegar cycle, sprinkle baking soda over the bottom of the dishwasher and run it through another short wash cycle. Voila, sparkling clean!
