A sparkling clean dishwasher can make a world of difference in how well your dishes come out after each cycle. Over time, dishwashers can build up grease, grime, and even odors, reducing their efficiency. Luckily, with a few eco-friendly MamaSuds products and a little bit of know-how, you can keep your dishwasher in top-notch condition while staying kind to your family and the planet. Here's a step-by-step guide using MamaSuds Automatic Dishwasher Powder, Toilet Bombs, and All-Purpose Cleaner Spray.

Give Your Dishwasher a Quick Wipe Down

First, remove the racks and utensil holders. Spray the inside of your dishwasher with MamaSuds All-Purpose Cleaner Spray, paying attention to those often-overlooked edges and rubber gaskets around the door. Use a damp cloth to wipe everything down. This natural spray helps loosen grime and grease without exposing your family to harsh chemicals.

Remove Odors and Build-Up with MamaSuds Toilet Bombs

Believe it or not, MamaSuds Toilet Bombs are great for cleaning beyond the toilet bowl! Place one Toilet Bomb in the bottom of your empty dishwasher. Run a short, hot cycle to dissolve the bomb and allow its natural cleaning power to work through the pipes, removing odors and breaking down limescale or soap scum. The essential oils in the bombs leave your dishwasher smelling fresh without artificial fragrances.

Deep Clean with MamaSuds Automatic Dishwasher Powder

For a thorough cleaning, sprinkle a tablespoon of MamaSuds Automatic Dishwasher Powder into the detergent compartment. Run another hot cycle with the dishwasher empty. This powder is tough on stuck-on grime and grease but gentle on your machine—and the environment. It’s also free of toxic chemicals, so it’s safe for your entire family.

Bonus Tips for Keeping Your Dishwasher Clean

1. Run Hot Water First: Before starting a dishwasher cycle, run your kitchen faucet until the water is hot. This ensures your dishwasher starts with the best possible water temperature for cleaning.

2. Scrape, Don’t Rinse: While you don’t need to pre-wash, scraping off excess food debris from dishes before loading helps prevent clogs.

3. Clean the Filter Regularly: Remove and rinse your dishwasher’s filter once a month to clear out trapped debris.

4. Use Eco-Friendly Products: Stick to non-toxic, biodegradable products like MamaSuds to keep your dishwasher working efficiently while protecting the planet.

Happy cleaning!
