My husband and I live in a rented townhouse and we are the
proud renters of a very smelly dishwasher (or dishwarsher as my husband calls it). As newly moved in, newly wed and newly figuring
out how to take care of our place, I tried just about everything I could to
change our dishwasher into a non-smelly one.
There are few things worse when it comes to kitchen appliances than opening your just run
dishwasher and being inundated with a smelly something that can’t really be described. I’m pretty sure my dishes were making food
taste like my dishwasher smelled.
So enough with the melodramatics. I wouldn't be writing a post if I didn't have
a solution.
All you need to do is buy too packets of sugar free lemonade
powdered drink mix. Make sure you get
the sugar free kind, otherwise, the sugar can make a sticky mess in the soap
cup and other parts of the dishwasher. I
just used the cheap store brand which fit better in my budget then some of the
more expensive name brands like Koolaid.
Fill the soap cup with both packets of lemonade mix and run
the dishwasher. Make sure the dishwasher
doesn't have any dishes in it when you run it.
After the dishwasher has finished running, open it up and
enjoy a much fresher smell and the good feeling of finally beating the smelly
dishwasher.
I've only had to do this once to my dishwasher and the smell
has yet to return. However, I have a
stash of lemonade packets on hand should the smell attempt to make a comeback.
