Dishwashers are one of the most handy kitchen appliances there is - as they mean you don't have to spend hours over the sink doing the washing up by hand.
And although their main job is to make your dishes sparkling, a lot of people often forget that the machines themselves need a good clean from time to time as well.
Failing to do this might mean your dishwasher will stop working as well as it once used to, and it could also mean you'll have to replace it sooner.
