How to Clean Your Dishwasher Spray Arms | Fast Fix for Cleaner Dishes

Hey, first-time homeowners, if you want your dishwasher to keep washing your dishes, you need to clean the spray arms at least every three months. Dishwashers most commonly have two spray arms — one at the base of the dishwasher that sprays upward, and one affixed to the underside of the upper rack that sprays downward. These cleaning mechanisms rotate in a circular motion during a cleaning cycle, spewing the high-pressure hot water onto dishes in order to break up tough grease and grime. Over time the spray holes can become clogged with food debris, detergent residue and mineral buildup, reducing effectiveness and efficiency, making your appliance work harder and shortening its lifespan. But you can lend your dishwasher a hand by cleaning its spray arms regularly.
