Over time, bits of leftover food, undissolved detergent, and hard deposits build up. This prevents your dishwasher from running its best, possibly leaving spots and film on your glasses, silverware, and dishes.
Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to clean your dishwasher. And you don’t need to use any harsh, toxic chemicals to do it.
It’s easy to de-gunk and deep clean your dishwasher with essential oils and other natural cleaning powerhouses like vinegar, baking soda, and citric acid.
To help make this super easy, I’ve broken this out into a couple of sections below:

Tea Tree essential oil
Tea tree oil (also called melaleuca essential oil) is one of the strongest cleansing oils. It kills bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew (I also use tea tree in my magic shower cleaner). Use tea tree alone or try mixing it with other essential oils for new, amazing scents in your dishwasher.
Rosemary essential oil
Rosemary oil has great antimicrobial properties for cleaning. It’s a bit strong to use on its own, but it’s wonderful to mix with other essential oils like orange and lavender.
