The affresh™ Dishwasher & Disposal Cleaner package says to use once a month. Why do I need to clean my dishwasher and garbage disposal once a month?
Food particles and detergent residue from dishes and pans accumulate in hard to clean places in your dishwasher and disposal every time you use them. Even if you scrape or pre–rinse, minerals from your water can still calcify and build up, leading to odor. This is particularly true if you use a phosphate–free dishwasher detergent. Once a month maintenance of your dishwasher and disposal with affresh™ Dishwasher & Disposal Cleaner helps remove odor from these surfaces, for a cleaner fresher kitchen.
