Clean Your Dishwasher in 15 Minutes

Before you do anything, take out the top and bottom dish tacks, Then, check the jets where the water sprays out for any food build-up. Use something thin and sharp, like a toothpick or pen, to pick away at any debris. Use paper towels and soapy water to wipe off any dirt from the inside of the dishwasher.

If you notice any mold or mildew inside the dishwasher, use diluted bleach to scrub it away. However, bleach will damage stainless steel, so avoid using to clean your stainless steel appliances.

Then, wash the filer. Many dishwashers filters are attached to the appliance with screws. If that is the case, carefully unscrew the filer and wash it with soapy warm water or baking soda. Let it soak for about 10 minutes, then put in back into the dishwasher.

For a final wash, add 2 cups of vinegar to the bottom of the empty dishwasher and run in on a low, short, or energy-saving cycle. Halfway through, pause the cycle for 20 minutes to give the diluted vinegar a change to loosen any remaining food debris or hard water buildup. Then restart and complete the cycle for a beautifully clean dishwasher

Friendly Reminders:

BBQ Grills and Fire Pits: No open fires under covered patios. Check with the office on rules regarding these things prior to any parties or barbecues. And please, remember to clean up after!
Pets: As much as we know your fur babies love the great outdoors, please do not leave them unattended outside. You should be with your pet and supervise their actions at all times.
Trash: Please be mindful of the beauty the warm weather has to offer and done leave your trash out.
Storage: Remember to use your storage paces or closets to store any of those extra decorations or blankets that are left outside.
Most of all: Enjoy yourselves and have some fun!
