How she cleans the dishwasher in spring: is it a trick that no one knows?
When spring sunlight invades Lithuanian kitchens, it’s time to take care of household appliances, such as a dishwasher. But how does my neighbor, who lives in the village of Dzūkija, clean her dishwasher so that it shines in 2025? Learn this unusual trick that will surprise you!
Why is spring important for the dishwasher?
Lithuanian spring, especially in March and April, brings more moisture and pollen that can get into the kitchen in Vilnius, Kaunas or rural homesteads. My neighbor says that spring cleaning helps to avoid unpleasant odors, sludge and bacteria, especially in the house of Aukшtaitіja or Žemітіja, where the air is humid.
How does my neighbor clean the dishwasher?
- Natural cleansing with vinegar: She adds a glass of white vinegar to the dishwasher once a month, runs a short program and allows vinegar to remove limescale and odors. It is a cheap and environmentally friendly way that is popular among Lithuanians who have dishwashers in the vicinity of the Curonian Spit or Trakai.
- Combination of soda and lemon: My neighbor pours a tablespoon of baking soda into the bottom of the dishwasher, adds lemon zest and runs the program – this removes the grease and gives it a pleasant aroma that can be found at the Tymas market in Vilnius or on local farms.
- Cleaning the filters: She regularly cleans the dishwasher filter with warm water and soap – this ensures that the appliance works efficiently, especially in spring, when dust or pollen often enters the kitchen in the Suvalkia or Aukštшtaitіja regions.
Why is it worth knowing?
Spring is the time when the dishwasher may start to “smell” after winter, but proper cleaning helps to refresh it. In 2025, My Neighbor’s Methods will help you enjoy clean dishes, especially on warm days at family dinners.
Is this really a trick?
Yes, my neighbor believes that her ways are a simple but effective trick that anyone can use. Her dishwasher is always clean, even after intensive spring use, which inspires other residents of Lithuania as well.
