All household appliances installed in the kitchen need periodic maintenance. This is especially true for the dishwasher. As a result of cleaning, accumulations are formed on the main parts of this device in the form of food and fat residues. In addition, scale forms on the internal surfaces of the equipment. To remove all these impurities, it is necessary to choose the right dishwasher cleaner. We will discuss the nuances of the selection of such solutions in our article.

Reasons for cleaning equipment

Dishwasher manufacturers strongly recommend cleaning procedures at least once every 3-4 weeks, but housewives do not always adhere to this rule and take appropriate measures only in case of emergency necessary. You can not blame people, because the frequency of cleaning the device from pollution depends on the features of the machine. Urgent procedures are necessary if there is an unpleasant odor in the tank.

 The following factors affect the number of cleanings:

1. The schedule of use of the device. Some housewives turn on the machine daily, others wash a small amount of dishes with their hands, the appliance is used only with a significant accumulation of plates and cups.
2. The degree of contamination of the cutlery. Salads and vegetable fats are much easier to wash than animal fats and burnt foods. Some of these contaminants accumulate in large quantities under the rubber bands.
3. Temperature regime for washing dishes. The user himself selects the required temperature, the lower it is, the faster the device will become clogged.
4. The amount of active substance in detergents. The more aggressive the solution, the longer the dishwasher will last. At the same time, a large amount of household chemicals used can harm human health.

Before you clean the dishwasher from fat, you need to determine the operation of the unit. If the user receives clean, creaking dishes at the exit, the appliance works normally. If on the cups and plates there are dark stains or traces of contamination, urgent measures must be taken to care for the equipment.

 Most users do not know how to wash the dishwasher inside. To carry out such work, you will need a soft kitchen sponge and a toothbrush. Using this tool, filters and impellers are cleaned, as well as the space between the seals. In addition, you need to look at the walls of the chamber and the capacity for laying dishes. In these places there should be no mold. In the presence of such defects, problem areas are cleaned with detergents. At the final stage of work, the machine is started.

The best dishwasher cleaners

Not everyone knows how to wash the dishwasher inside. It is necessary to choose such products that can easily cope with mold and scale, fats and food residues. Moreover, such substances should not corrode parts of the equipment (sealing gum or the inner surface of the drum). Consumers should also look at the cost of funds, because when you buy expensive drugs you can simply go broke. The “Finish" is considered to be the best line-up, but lately it has appeared a lot of inexpensive analogues. We look at the ratings of cleaning products for dishwashers.

The drug "Finish"

The specified tool is used to fight ms with limescale, which settles on the walls of the equipment during its operation. Many users try to understand how to clean the dishwasher from fat. Finish will cope well with this task. The drug not only breaks down fat into molecules, but disinfects all surfaces, forms a protective dirt-repellent film.

Thanks to these qualities, dirt and scale will not settle for some time on work surfaces. Of the advantages of "Finish" should indicate the economical consumption of the composition and the ability to clean surfaces from any materials. When using this tool, cleaning is carried out every 2-3 months of operation. In addition, the “Finish” kills pathogens that enter the tank along with water and food debris. After processing, the solution leaves a pleasant aroma.

One of the varieties of the "Finish" is the two-component composition of Calgonit Fusion Power. One of the layers of this product is used to disinfect surfaces, break down fats and eliminate mold; the second component effectively fights limescale. The main disadvantage of such a product is the allocation of an unpleasant aroma.

Uni plus

The specified tool goes to stores in the form of a concentrate. Such a solution must be used to clean washing machines at least 1 time in 3-4 weeks. Uni plus perfectly removes fat deposits, forms a protective film on work surfaces and eliminates odors.

Before using this drug, it is necessary to study the requirements indicated in the instructions. This tool is most effective at a certain temperature. If household appliances do not support the temperature specified in the instructions, it is better to refuse uni plus and choose another cleaning product.

During work on cleaning the machine from pollution, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations. The main problems arise with the packaging, the wax will not dissolve and will not allow the solution to pour out of the bottle if the temperature of heating the water is below the required parameters.

The tool is used once every 3-4 weeks, with constant use according to the schedule, you can permanently get rid of dirt and scale. The packs are enough for three cleaning the dishwasher.

Milit

Before descaling the dishwasher, read the instructions for the cleaner. Milit must be used every 2-3 weeks of operation of the equipment, but the housewives themselves monitor the condition of household appliances and the effectiveness of its work. When a persistent odor appears, pour the product from the bottle into the cap (its volume is designed for one filling).

The main advantages of this drug are:

• economical use;
•  low cost;
•  good cleaning efficiency;
•  lack of aggressive substances in the composition.

Milit well cleans scale and wax coating, eliminates unpleasant odor. The solution is contained in a special bottle, it is turned down with the neck and installed in the chamber. In the process of washing, hot water dissolves the wax, and it begins to flow to the drum.

Domol

This drug is good at washing away dirt and scale in all hard-to-reach places of the machine. A characteristic shine appears on the filters, camera surface and grilles. The composition has an intense aroma, it is felt even when the door of the household appliance is closed.

 Before using Domol, you must familiarize yourself with the manufacturer's requirements. This solution begins to act at a water temperature of 65 degrees. The cleaning procedure is necessary every 25-30 cycles of the machine. One treatment requires 250 milliliters of the specified substance.

Folk remedies

In addition to chemicals, household appliances can be cleaned using improvised means. Consider the most popular recipes:

1. Before cleaning the dishwasher with soda and vinegar, remove the filter and the cutlery basket from the appliance together with the impeller. We wash these parts in a soap solution, then install them in their original place. In a container for supplying cleaning products, pour a glass of vinegar of 9% concentration, pour all the inner walls and other parts of the machine with soda. Next, run the dishwasher, set the temperature at 60 degrees.
2. We are preparing a special solution. To do this, put a packet of soda in a small container and add the contents of the bottle of hydrogen peroxide. For the smell we introduce 25-30 drops of any essential oil. All components are thoroughly mixed and set in the freezer for 25 minutes. That's all the composition is ready for use. We put it in the basket, then turn on the device. Rinse should take place at high temperatures.

We examined the most popular folk dishwasher cleaners, but there are other substances that remove stubborn stains well.
