My dishwasher is leaving a gum like gunk on everything I wash in it. I have used commercial cleaners and...?

Question

scrubed it out be hand. The gum/wax like gunk comes back. The dishwasher in 12 yrs old and working well other then this one proublem. Time for a new one or is there something else to try?

Answer 1

Maybe its the detergent your using.    I love electricsol cubes.   We use to have powder & that was causing problems.

Answer 2

Try a more natural cleaning product in your dishwasher!

This is my fave:

650ml (3 cups) Castile soap

10 drops of lavender oil

8 drops of rosemary oil

4 drops of eucalypyus oil

or use any combination of your favourite essential oils

Fill a 650ml plastic squirt bottle with the Castile soap (diluted as directed on the packaging if using concentrate). Add the essential oils. To use, just squire a few teaspoons of the liquid until hot running water.

Answer 3

You need Jet Dry once a month.

Answer 4

Try soms C.L.R. and see if that helps.
