The repairman told me that you are supposed to periodically clean your dishwasher gasket to keep your machine running in top condition--that's the seal at the door opening. Who knew?
Ours is gross again.
I scrub mine with baking soda, a scrubber, and a grout brush. Where does all this gunk come from, and how does it get stuck in the gasket?
I guess it gets built up after a few years... which is how long it's been
since I last cleaned the thing. It was really bad...
After I used this towel as a drop cloth, I used it to wipe away all the slimy muck. There was a lot.
Time Investment: Less than 10 Minutes
Materials: Grout Brush, scrubber, baking soda, cleaning cloth
Payoff: Maybe? If the dishes aren't noticeably cleaner (we'll see) maybe it will prevent leaking or gasket wear or something?
No one will ever notice except me and the dishwasher repairman, but it's now clean!
So far I've
washed a door,
cleaned ice cream out of a utensil drawer, and cleaned my dishwasher gasket. Up next...
