A little routine maintenance goes a long way toward keeping your dishwasher performing optimally. Here are a couple of ways to ensure your dishwasher stays efficient and lasts longer. Clean the filter once a month. Your dishwasher’s filter traps food particles to prevent them from recirculating during the wash cycle. Over time, this debris can build up and reduce cleaning performance. To clean your filter, remove it (it’s usually located at the bottom of the tub), rinse it under warm water and use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub off any gunk. Reinstall it securely to maintain optimal water flow and filtration. Use vinegar or dishwasher cleaner to remove buildup. Mineral deposits and soap scum can clog the internal components of your dishwasher and dull your dishes. To perform a deep clean, pour a cup of white vinegar into the bottom of the empty tub, let it soak for an hour and then run a hot water cycle to flush out the buildup. You can also use a dishwasher cleaning tablet—just be sure to follow the instructions on the package.

cleaning a stovetop is a simple task but
if you aren't careful you can run into
problems
today we're in catotti with diamond
certified expert contributor Dane Marcy
of Kelly's appliance center to learn
more a common problem a lot of people
have when cleaning their stoves is
getting too much moisture on it a good
tip is to spray your cleaner on a rag
and wipe it down if you spray the
cleaner directly on you can get water
and moisture behind the knobs on the
electrical components another common
issue that will happen is when you're
cleaning around the burners it's also
good not to spray directly on the burner
because you'll get moisture inside the
burner and that'll take a long time to
evaporate and dry out and your burner
won't light so make sure to wipe it down
dry it off and then when you're putting
your taps back on make sure that they
click and lock into place otherwise when
you go to light it it may continue to
spark
