Is Your Dishwasher Filled With Harmful Bacteria? Clean It With These Two Ingredients

Gross! It turns out your dishwasher can be a real cesspool of dangerous bacteria and fungi. It’s crucial to give your dishwasher a good cleaning out once in a while. Food particles and minerals from the water can build up over time, preventing thorough cleaning from happening. By cleaning your dishwasher, not only will your dishes be cleaner and safer to eat off of and drink from, but your dishwasher will run more efficiently, saving you cash in the long run. You can’t lose!

You’re going to want to do this dishwasher cleaning about every month. Three months at the latest. I typically do every two weeks if I’ve been running it more than usual. Special thanks to Clean Mama for putting this infographic together.
