Keeping your Airbnb dishwasher in top condition ensures great guest experiences, avoids negative reviews, and saves on costly repairs. Here’s how to keep it clean and running smoothly between turnovers:
- 🔧 Weekly Maintenance Checklist
Empty the Dishwasher Completely
Remove all dishes and racks to access the bottom.
- Clean the Filter
Rinse the filter under hot water weekly. If it’s greasy, use dish soap and a soft brush.
- Run a Vinegar Cycle
Place a cup of white vinegar in a dishwasher-safe container on the top rack and run a hot cycle to remove buildup and odors.
- Deodorize with Baking Soda
After the vinegar cycle, sprinkle a cup of baking soda across the bottom and run a short, hot cycle. This freshens and removes lingering smells.
- Wipe Down Seals & Door Edges
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a bit of vinegar to wipe around the door edges, rubber seals, and detergent dispenser.
- Inspect the Spray Arms
Make sure the holes in the spray arms are not clogged. Use a toothpick or wire to clear any buildup if necessary.
- 🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don’t overload the dishwasher.
Never use regular dish soap—it causes suds and damage.
Skip pre-rinsing dishes too much; it can confuse newer machines with sensors.
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners; stick with vinegar and baking soda.
