A GON Reader Asks

Hi Maria,

I LOVE GON! A while back I wrote to you asking how to clean glass shower doors. I followed your advice with the vinegar, water, and baking soda. Thank you, my doors have never looked better.

Hope you can help me with another problem. We don't always run our dishwasher every day and, as a result, sometimes there is an odor. Would like your recommendation for eliminating the odor and periodically giving the dishwasher a thorough cleaning.

Thank You,

Hi Anthony's Nana,

It is so good to hear from you...and I'm very happy to hear about your shower doors. Fantastic!

For your dishwasher odor issue, here are some tips:

1) Prep what you're putting in. Be sure to scrape off any crumbs, food debris, etc. before placing dishes in the dishwasher...and rinse anything caked with foods that tend to stick and harden, like wet Parmesan cheese.

2) Clean dishwasher components from time to time: Food particles can build up on the drain filter, the spray arm, and other components inside the dishewasher. Remove these and scrub them clean. All dishwashers are a bit different (so you may have to consult your user's manual for your model), but here's a helpful video I found online:

3) Run an empty cycle. Run a normal dishwasher cycle with baking soda OR vinegar. Fill a small dishwasher-safe cup with either and place it on the top rack of your dishwasher. Then run a normal cleaning cycle without any dishes. Afterwards, wipe down the interior of the dishwasher with paper towels.

4) The odor may actually be coming from your garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are connected to the same central hose as your dishwasher. Cut up lemons into small pieces and run them through the disposal to help neutralize any odors.

Hope this helps!

No matter what your dog's problem behavior is, be it jumping, peeing inappropriately, aggression, pulling on the leash...or whatever, there is ONE SOLUTION that can help STOP this problem now.

The sad fact is, most dog trainers miss this solution entirely. They give you cookie cutting training programs. They use outdated and `mean' dominance techniques. Or worse yet, they have no qualifications and are complete phonies. So what's the answer to stopping your dog's behavior problems? In 5 simple words...

Discovering your dog's hidden intelligence.

Let me explain. More intelligent dogs are better behaved. A more intelligent dog takes commands easier and understands what you need from them. The good news is, no matter how clever you think your dog is, you can unlock their hidden intelligence quickly and easily.

Don't waste a second longer coping with problem behaviors you don't need to be dealing with. Visit this link to learn more about Brain Training for Dogs:
