7 Reasons Why You Should Never Overfill Your Wine Glass
Ways to Prevent Bacteria Growth:
If you need to leave dishes for a while, run a rinse cycle.
Leave the dishwasher door slightly open to let air circulate and reduce moisture.
Regularly clean the dishwasher to remove food particles and prevent mold.
2. Smell Buildup in the Dishwasher
Opening the dishwasher to find a bad smell can be unpleasant. This happens when food particles and moisture sit for too long, allowing bacteria and mold to grow. This smell can then transfer to your dishes, leaving them less than fresh.
The smells also indicate that there’s bacteria or mold inside your dishwasher, which can affect how clean your dishes are and pose health risks.
Ways to Avoid Bad Smells:
Run the dishwasher as soon as it’s full to prevent water and food from sitting.
Use a dishwasher cleaner or run a cycle with vinegar regularly to keep it fresh.
Keep the door open between uses to let moisture escape.
3. Food Residue Sticking to Dishes
Leaving dishes in the dishwasher overnight can cause food residues to dry and stick. Foods like pasta or sauce can harden, making them harder to clean. The longer the food sits, the tougher it is to remove.
This not only makes dishes less clean but also puts extra strain on your dishwasher as it works harder, leading to more frequent repairs.
