After the vinegar cycle, do a second round. Sprinkle a cup of baking soda across the bottom of the dishwasher. Run a short, hot cycle.
Baking soda neutralizes the vinegar smell. It also scrubs away any leftover film. It’s like a gentle exfoliant for your machine.
This two-step tango is legendary. First vinegar, then baking soda. Your dishwasher will emerge smelling like a clean, happy kitchen. You’ll want to hug it. Don’t hug it. It’s hot.
