We Used Lemon Kool-Aid to Clean Our Dishwasher and Can’t Believe the Results!

So here's the complete process for using lemon Kool-aid as a way to clean your dishwasher. The author did note that older dishwashers may require a little more time and elbow grease for this method to work properly.

To start, I emptied the dishwasher. You want the mixture to be able to reach every nook and cranny in its interior, and I was worried about what that citric acid would do to the kids' melamine plates and my crystal glassware (which, I know, is not supposed to be in the dishwasher in the first place).

Then, I put the lemonade powder into the detergent area, closed it, and started the dishwasher. I turned it to the glassware setting because I was too excited to wait for the full “normal” cycle to go through. And then, I waited.

About 45 minutes later, I opened the dishwasher … and the rust stains and gray film were still there. I was disappointed.

But! I figured the lemonade cleanse might have loosened everything up, so I got my scrubby sponge to check — and literally every grungy spot on my dishwasher wiped clean. Rust spots, gone! Lime deposits, gone! Mildewy bits, gone! It took maybe two minutes of light scrubbing and the interior of my dishwasher actually looks like new. I didn't even know it could get that clean — I'd just assumed it was beyond hope!
