Beko’s IonGuard® technology uses a fan and a hidden ionizer to circulate fresh air and remove bad odors inside your dishwasher without the use of harmful gasses or chemicals
The most used white wares at home, an indispensable part of kitchen cleaning, the dishwasher starts to smell from time to time for various reasons. Let's look at the reasons together...
1- Keeping the dishes for a long time without washing them
In families that aren’t overcrowded, the dishwasher isn’t filled immediately. A few days delay in washing while waiting for it to fill will cause odor in the dishwasher.
2- Congesting of dishwasher filter
The filter, which filters the dirty water flowing from the dishes, should be cleaned frequently. Filters that are not cleaned frequently will cause clogging in the pipes and the food residues accumulating there will cause odor.
3- Lubricating the dirty water hose of the dishwasher
Among the dishes washed daily, there are excessively greasy dishes. These oils, which stick to the dirty water hose during washing, can cause clogging in the sinks, flooding, and bad odors in the kitchen.
Without regular cleaning, these bad odors can quickly get out of control. In fact, there are simple ways to protect your machine for longer and avoid bad odors.
Always keep your filter clean
For to do this, remove the bottom shelf of the dishwasher and open the filter cover. Remove the filter by lifting it up, rubbing gently with a non-abrasive cloth or brush and rinse under running warm water. And put it in place. This simple step can often overcome all odors with ease.
Remove odors with natural cleaning methods
Vinegar, which is used in almost all kinds of cleaning of the house, if added to the dishwasher during washing, will both prevent limescale formation and clean the inside of the dishwasher. Apart from washing, vinegar mixed with water to clean the inside of the machine is applied to the dirty areas with the help of a cloth. Thanks to the vinegar, you will see that the dirt is removed without difficulty. The vinegar smell is not permanent, it will disappear soon after contact with air.
Or the baking soda diluted with lemon is rubbed into the empty dishwasher with the help of a cloth, you can see that the inside of the machine is cleaned without rubbing it too much. The baking soda in the dishwasher, which is also run empty, will allow the lemon mixture to contact the pipes and clean the pipes. It is also a healthy and effective method for machine cleaning, lime removal and bad odors by putting baking soda in the dishwashing detergent dispenser and running it.

What should I do first when my dishwasher starts to smell?
