Wash Legos and hockey equipment in the dishwasher!

UPDATE DAY

It is important to clean the interior of the dishwasher once a year, especially if the water in your area is known to be hard, which leaves mineral deposits and can discolor the interior of the device. In addition, residues can accumulate in the various parts of the device and become a source of undesirable odors.

• Forget the wacky tricks recommending cleaning the dishwasher with a wrap of Tang orange juice or Kool-Aid powder. Opt instead for a thorough cleaning of the inside of the appliance by operating a regular cycle with 250 ml (1 cup) of vinegar or 25 g (1 teaspoon) of lemon salt. Do not add dishwasher detergent.
• The dishwasher door, handle, control panel can be cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge and a few drops of liquid dish soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the inside or outside of the unit.
• If a bad smell comes from the dishwasher, sprinkle 125 ml (1/2 cup) of baking soda in the bottom and run a short cycle.
