A few days ago some stink (or something stinky) decided to take up residence in my dishwasher. Not to be too graphic but it smells like someone vomited in there.
I noticed some gunk built up so I took a Clorox wipe to it…no change.
One morning while I was trying to rush out the door I did a quick Google search and saw that vinegar was an option. I let it sit for hours and then ran an extra hot and steamy wash with the vinegar (and a little baking soda for good measure). No change.
I went back to find more hidden gunk. More Clorox wiping and even some Tough and Tender. No change.
I decided to just wait it out. Maybe some food was stuck somewhere where I can’t get to it. It will eventually move through…right? I’d just keep the dishwasher closed unless absolutely necessary. Then I noticed that the Stink was make himself at home on my clean dishes. Ugggh. For those of you who know me well, know that domestic goddess I am not. I refuse to handwash anything that could remotely go in the dishwasher. So that means that all my dishes have inherited the stink.
Yesterday I tried a run through with extra hot water and lemon juice. No change.
Next time I go to the grocery store I will look for a good, harsh, chemical deodorizer. The war is on. I was just trying to avoid it because of our septic system. Any other brilliant ideas?
