What do i do with smelly dishwasher?

Question

my dishwasher smells like mildew or rotten. What do i do or put it in? Please need help cuz it's stinking up my kitchen......

Answer 1

There is a product called Glisten, citrus based and smells great. Not only cleans inside of dishwasher but you can put your hard water spotted  glasses in when using, they come out sparkling clean.  I get my Glisten on Ebay and use once a month, great product.  Good Luck !!!

Answer 2

Run a cup of bleach through a wash cycle. Then, run a cup and half of borax though a wash cycle. Also, check to see if there is food stuck in the bottom somewhere or near your drain pipe This should handle it.

Answer 3

I just bought a home with an older dishwasher and was told to buy Tang and sprinkle it around the inside and then run a normal wash.  Not only did the entire kitchen smell wonderful during the cycle, it seemed super clean and non-smelly when done.

Also there is a product called Dishwasher Magic.

Answer 4

After cleaning, if there is still an odor, it's the rubber seal around the door. You might want to replace it.

Answer 5

though bleach is a cure all the bleach is to hard on some of the parts inside the dishwasher use white vinegar put in both places for dish soap and make sure the heat is on that should take care of it. I agree with the food stuck in the bottom but the vinegar will work to cut the smell
