Dishwasher cleaning

As new dishwashers use as little as 10.5 litres of water per cycle a clean dishwasher will always deliver the better results. The filter should be cleaned at least once a month (refer to your manual), there is no need for expensive cleaners simply place a cup of white vinegar upright in the top rack and sprinkle two table spoons of bicarb soda over the base and run the dishwasher (empty) on the hottest cycle.

The same applies for washing machines, pour the vinegar and bicarb soda directly into the drum and use the hottest cycle available.
