Thanks - I think i'm going to 'go nuclear' this time and use a big bottle of finish cleaner but then do regulalr washes with white vinegar to keep it spick n span.

thanks for the help

I found that mine had been fitted with the waste pipe having to go really high up the wall to get to the o/s pipe (not sure if I've explained that properly:o).:o I kept getting dirty water left. I reduced the angle of the pipe and that helped a bit. I think the problem was that the water left in the pipe was draining back down into the d/w.

We have had a dishwasher for over 12 years and as far as I know it has never been cleaned.

Do you "Clean" your washing machine?

We have never put Salt in our dishwasher (We live in a soft water area) but our neighbours say that we should.
