How can I freshen up my dishwasher?

Fresh Smelling Dishwasher

When washing the dishes, you want them to look and smell fresh. For a fresh smelling dishwasher, try placing a lemon half in the utensil container. Run your machine through a normal cycle, and your dishes and dishwasher will come out smelling fresh and lemony. Lemon is great for all kinds of ktichen cleaning as it leaves everything smelling wonderful!

This is a much better idea than the idea my friend's daughter-in-law had. Many times she placed a scented candle in her dishwasher. It worked just fine until that one time when they left the house with the candle burning in the dishwasher and it burned the house down!

I have done this before and it does work. Also, I put a lemon in my disposal and it makes it smell good (don't just put one in, turn on the disposal)

You can also clean the dishwasher by running a cycle with Orange or Lemon powdered drink mix (something like Tang)in the soap dispenser. It will clean it all up and smell like Orange or Lemon when done.

What a wonderful idea. Word to the wise, don't use lemon dish soap...your dishwasher will flood. Yes I did that once, but I'm young

sounds like a good idea, but how can you make your dishwater fresh and smelling good if you don't have a dishwasher? do you have any tips for just plain ole dish water? would a lemon half work here also?
