These TikTok dishwasher hacks show you’ve been using this appliance all wrong

Many newer dishwasher models have adjustable arms that allow you to raise and lower the top rack. As TikTok user @talkingwatt humorously finds out, you can fit a whole lot more than you think in your dishwasher.

Yes, your dishwasher is designed to clean your dishes, but when gunk gets stuck in the filter you might be left with grime even after a cycle. These new homeowners @housekeepingqueens found out just how gross a dishwasher can be.

Though you’ll need to clean out the filter whenever possible, you can bust through smaller messes and bad odors by sprinkling baking soda on the bottom and keeping a cup of white vinegar on the top while you run a hot cycle. TikTok user @sofloridagirl shows you just how quick this solution can be.
