Modern utensils care utensils ideally clean any plates and mugs of dirt, but even such devices need regular cleaning. Therefore, a dishwasher cleaner for many people is already an integral element in the kitchen. After all, it is it that can qualitatively and reliably rid the device of dust, scale and fat, thereby preparing it for a new entry of dirty dishes.
Dishwasher
The dishwasher cleaner can remove grease and other contaminants that remain after washing the dishes. Unfortunately, not all pollutants can be neutralized with hot water or powder, since they settle in layers at the bottom of the working compartment, and over time it becomes more difficult to clean them.
Most often, they linger on the strainers, thereby preventing the dishwasher from functioning normally. As a rule, professionals in such cases recommend removing the filters and cleaning, but this is quite difficult. Therefore, regular cleaning of the dishwasher from grease or scale by special means, the components of which perform cleaning functions, is necessary. If tablets and liquids are systematically used, the device will not break suddenly and cause inconvenience to the owner.
Manual or automatic cleaning
Most people believe that if they bought a dishwasher cleaner and then performed all the steps in accordance with the instructions, then nothing more will be required of them. In fact, this is an erroneous opinion. A single automatic cleaning will not save the machine from all the accumulated over a long time of pollution. Like it or not, you still have to work with your hands. In case of accumulation of a huge amount of fat or scale, experts advise to start cleaning it by hand.
It is not necessary to completely disassemble the dishwasher, since only some of its elements need to be cleaned:
- trash filter;
- rubber seals ;
- impeller nozzles;
- baskets for dishes;
- inner walls.
After cleaning the above items, you can immediately start automatic cleaning. To do this, it is necessary to carry out a simple machine cleaning, but, instead of detergent for dishes, pour detergent for cleaning the dishwasher.
Only if all the above rules are observed, the machine will serve its owner for a long time and reliably.

Home remedies
If there is no possibility or desire to purchase a special tool in the store, then there are other cleaning methods. Without extra effort, you can prepare a solution on your own, which, no worse than chemicals, will clean the dishwasher from grease and other dirt.
Cleaning the dishwasher with vinegar and soda always comes first, as it is the most effective. It is produced in a few simple steps and takes not too much time, although you will have to spend a little more effort than using a purchased cleaner.
From the dishwasher, it is necessary to remove the trash filter, mesh, as well as the basket where all the dishes are stacked, and the impeller. All these details should be immersed in a solution of vinegar and soda (2 tablespoons per glass of vinegar). Then you need to wash all the elements with soapy water and put them back into the machine. At the very bottom you need to place a glass with vinegar (9%), and carefully treat all other parts with soda. After that, you will need to start the longest washing cycle (always at a temperature of 60 degrees) and wait for perfect cleanliness.
In second place is the method of cleaning with powder borax. It takes almost the same time as the previous method, but the effect will be slightly worse. First you need to clean the machine manually, and then thoroughly and gently wash the walls and all parts with a damp sponge. Next, you need to take the main component - a powder drill. She should fill up absolutely all the internal elements of the dishwasher, and then, as in the previous method, start a long cycle and wait for the result.
Another effective solution is soda and natural hydrogen peroxide. This will require a whole pack of baking soda, which must be mixed with a bottle of peroxide. If desired, you can add a couple of dozen drops of any essential oil in order to create a greater effect and a pleasant aroma. This mixture must be thoroughly mixed and placed in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes. After time, you should get the resulting mass and mold from it a lump of not too large size. It must be put in the basket for dishes, and then restart the longest cycle at maximum temperature.
