Clean your dishwasher filter.

The food particles that cake your plates and utensils don’t magically disappear during the wash cycle. Usually, these large particles collect in your dishwasher’s filter and are held there until the filter is cleaned. Although your dishwasher filter is often forgotten, ignoring this important component is a bad idea. If not cleaned regularly, the filter can negatively affect your appliance’s performance, leaving you with extra scrubbing after the rinse cycle is complete. Is your dishwasher leaking? Stop the leaks with these easy steps.
