How do you get stagnit water smell out of a dishwasher?

Here's how to get rid of the stagnant water smell from your dishwasher:

1. Baking soda Rinse:

- Run an empty dishwasher cycle on the longest, hottest setting.

- While it's running, add a cup of baking soda to the machine's bottom.

- Combine equal part white vinegar and lemon juice in a dishwasher-safe bowl.

- Place the bowl on the upper rack of the dishwasher.

- Run the dishwasher on the longest, hottest setting.

- The vinegar and lemon juice solution cuts through grease and grime, deodorizes, and leaves a fresh citrus sent.

3. Clean filter and gasket:

- Remove the dishwasher's filter and rinse it under warm water to remove any debris or food particles.

- Clean the gasket around the door with a damp cloth and mild detergent, removing any dirt or spills that may have accumulated.

4. Use a dishwasher cleaner:

- Follow the instructions on the product label and run the dishwasher as directed.

5. Leave the dishwasher door open:

- After running a cleaning cycle, leave the dishwasher door open to air dry the interior and prevent moisture buildup that can lead to odors.

- Avoid leaving dirty dishes in the machine for long periods, and regularly scrape off food particles before loading dishes.
