and a mild detergent is all that is necessary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean. Interior - Hard water minerals may cause a

white film to build-up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. Wear rubber gloves when cleaning

the dishwasher interior. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because

it may cause foaming or sudsing.
