How do you clean a dishwasher with vinegar?

To clean a dishwasher with vinegar, first clean the filter and filter tray, pour 1 cup of white vinegar in the dishwasher, and deodorize your dishwasher with baking soda. This process takes up to 10 hours and requires white vinegar and baking soda.

1. Clean the filter

   Unscrew the filter and filter tray from the bottom of your dishwasher. Soak both items in warm, soapy water. Do not scrub the filter with a sponge. Replace the filter and tray after 10 minutes.

2. Apply the vinegar

   Measure 1 cup of white vinegar, and pour it over the bottom of the dishwasher. Run the heavy cleaning cycle on your dishwasher.

3. Deodorize with baking soda

   Sprinkle 1 cup of baking soda on the bottom of your dishwasher, and allow it to sit overnight. Finish by running another empty cycle.
