Clean out the dishwasher filter regularly
Have you ever opened up your dishwasher and found that it had not cleaned anything? It might not be working as it is supposed to because the filter is dirty. If it is not taken out and cleaned regularly, then it may affect the machine’s performance and force you to spend more money on detergent since you will have to use two cycles to get your cutlery cleaned.
While it is true that some dishwashers have a cleaning cycle for the machine itself, it does not necessarily clean out the filter since it is located at the bottom. Because of its inaccessibility, it can only be washed if you take it out and do so manually. Taking the time to remove it and get any stuck food out will keep the appliance work for longer.
