Clean your dishwasher!

This post should be rated XXX for graphic content.
Very disturbing, indeed.
The faint of heart should turn away.

Yep.  
That's what I found lurking under the water squirter thingy.
 In my dishwasher.
Oh.My.Goodness.
I can hardly believe I'm showing this.
I hope that someone, somewhere, is like me.
Wondering why their dishwasher isn't cleaning right.
Running loads twice.
Washing {gasp!} by hand.
I'm so glad I found this post on Pinterest:
Dishwasher Repair Tips from the Family Handyman.
Turns out that part I call the water squirter thingy is actually a spray arm.
I kinda like my name better.

I did what the post told me, and my washer is happily scrubbing away as I type!  Ahhhhh!
I wonder how much money that saved on a service call or a new dishwasher?
Pinterest saves the day!

Head over to FamilyHandyman.com.
Follow their steps to get your dishwasher in top notch condition...
'Cause life is too short to hand wash!

  1. Yep. My handyman (aka hunky hubs)cleaned mine out the other day since it wasn't washing properly. The other thing you may find is that if the drain/strainer has been filled with rubbish, then your spray arm potentially is filled with gunk too. Just take it off and wash it out in your sink (that is one hand wash job that will save you a bunch of time later!)
    Enjoy your clean dishes

  2. Oh my gosh I am now officially TERRIFIED to go look in my dishwasher! I can only imagine!
    Thanks for sharing the tips. I will be sure to try once I stop hyperventilating!
