Here’s the lazy-person secret: just run a vinegar cycle once a month. Mark it on your calendar if you have to. Or set a reminder on your phone. Call it “Dishwasher Doctor Day.”
Doing this small thing will keep those calcium deposits from ever coming back. It’s like brushing your teeth—except for your dishwasher. And you don’t have to floss it.
Now go forth and conquer that chalky nightmare. Your dishes will sparkle. Your machine will purr. And you? You’ll feel like a kitchen wizard. You’re welcome.
