Just in case you are still cleaning and organizing for the new year...Tip #151
and you might have missed this spot--don't forget to wipe down your dishwasher!
A recent study showed that 62% of dishwashers harbor mold, yeast, and other types of fungus. Twice a week you should clean the seal around the door with a disinfectant wipe--this area is where fungi are less likely to be killed by detergents and high temps.
**Alright now, I'm talking tips, head over to see what Impulsive and Shawn are talking about on Talk to us Tuesday!**
OMG! I NEVER clean my dishwasher. I'm throughly grossed out right now. I have to walk away from blogger to go take care of this.
ReplyDeleteEw.
Couldn't you have shared this with us WEEKS ago?
But thanks for linking up! xoxo
I need to do this, but since it's one of those "I'll do it later" kind of things, I just keep procrastinating.
ReplyDeletemy fridge does this! I've never thought about the dishwasher. Good tip!
ReplyDeleteI just cleaned my dishwasher yesterday because my husband is sick....but I didn't clean the seal.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Ah thanks for this tip! I don't think we ever clean our dishwasher! Will definitely be doing that tonight.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about cleaning around the edges of the dishwasher...that is absolutely going on my to do list! :)

Going to show the hubs this one..the eww factor is something else..
ReplyDeleteThe only time I think to wipe it down is when I see something splashed on the front of it. I always think I need to wipe down the inside where the door shuts...but then something else pops up and takes my attention!
ReplyDeleteI'm in a constant fight with my dishwasher! Ours gets "stuck" on the last rinse cycle and will go for hours if we don't move it a notch. So now we can't really run it when we leave or go to bed. Frustrating. Now I need to clean it too!?! Love-hate relationship continues, haha. Thanks for the tip, though. Keep them coming!
