Your dishwasher is a natural haven for mould. It's got everything Mould loves- food & water. 

So keeping it mould free means you need to do maintenance every time you use it. Without going into massive detail here is what you need to do.

• After a wash- leave it open with the racks out to dry and throw in a dash of Eco-Sentinel into the empty machine.
• Scrape your plates well before putting them in the machine.
• EMPTY the filter after every wash.
• Wipe down the seals regularly,
• Use a decent detergent.
• Run the machine regularly- letting it sit idle will give mould opportunities.
• Occasionally run it empty on hot wash with a dash of Eco-Sentinel.
• Check spray arms that there are no clogs.
• For nasty yuk mould you'll have to attack it with an old toothbrush.
