If your dishwasher has hard water, you may notice mineral deposits on the spray arm or inside of the appliance. These deposits can build up over time and decrease the performance of your dishwasher. Luckily, there are a few simple ways to remove these minerals and keep your dishwasher running smoothly.
To start, you'll need to gather a few supplies including white vinegar, baking soda, and a toothbrush or other soft-bristled brush. You'll also need a clean cloth and some rubber gloves to protect your hands.
Begin by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl. Then, use the cloth to wipe down the interior of your dishwasher, being sure to focus on any areas with visible mineral deposits. Next, sprinkle baking soda onto any stubborn spots and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Finally, use the toothbrush (or other brush) to scrub away the loosened mineral deposits before rinsing thoroughly with clean water.
You may need to repeat this process a few times if the Mineral Deposits are particularly stubborn but eventually they should all come off!
