- Fill a dishwasher-safe dish with one cup of white vinegar and place it on the upper rack of your empty machine, close the door, and run a hot-water cycle. This should wash away the majority of the gunk, grease, and grime. There could still be some stuff left around the outer seal. If so, simply take an old rag and wipe it off.
- To deodorize your dishwasher, sprinkle a cupful of baking soda across the bottom of the machine and run it on a short hot-water cycle.
