My dishwasher needs a good clean - it keeps smelling even when I scrub it and put fresheners in. What is the best way to clean it? Any good products that are'nt a rip-off?

Run a cup of white vinegar through it.:)

Tesco do a good dishwasher cleaner. Just take the top off, and invert it in the knife basket. Leave the dishwasher empty of all pots. Run through a washing cycle of 60 degrees and it cleans the dishwasher very nicely. Then spray around the edges and the lips with a kitchen cleaner a couple of time and wipe with a soft cloth. Good luck

No rip off on price and no gimmicks.
Heres is a simple home remedy not only for dishwasher but also washing machine and sink and bath.
Pour some bio-carbote of soda first and pour some vinegar as this clears/dissolves all the muck.(You will see it bubble up.)
Then run water after an hour or so.
Do it once a month and all will be clean.

I like to use once a month.. a couple scoops of sweetened or unsweetened drink mix.. Like kool-aid or tang something of that nature.. The citric acid in the drink mix cleans off lime scale and freshens the dishwasher.. It only cost penny's to do and it's easy to remember... Just fill the cups and run on an empty cycle.. Don't worry the color of the drink mix doesn't matter that doesn't stain the inside !

Just a thought.
As well as using a Dishwasher cleaning productas suggested above, have you cleaned out the filter unit at the bottom?

You can buy a liquid that you pop the bottle upside down in the cutlery basket and it cleans your dishwasher to a shine . Calgon is the best , but it might be called a different name where you live

do not positioned dishwasher cleansing pills in there. It won't injury it, even though it won't dissolve each of ways. the only hardship i might have with the vinegar is the scent could get on your outfits once you wash them after cleansing the bathing device.

Run it empty, after it fills to wash, add a quart of white vinegar. The acid in the vinegar will neutralize the odors.

Half a cup of ammonia OR bleach. Not both. Very bad if both. But one or the other. Bleach if its really nasty, ammonia if its not so bad. Wash on a pots and pans setting (or heavy wash) with a remaining half cup of your detergent - if using a product that has bleach in it at all don't use ammonia.
