How To Keep Your Dishwasher Clean And Smelling Fresh
We were amazed that the dish cleaning industry has gotten away with formulating ingredients to clean only dishes. Somehow, removing spots became a new category for clean dishes, and a rinse aid spun onto the market. Now it's standard to have a unique dispenser to hold rinse aid. Individual indicators alert consumers when it's time to refill a reservoir, or some models won't even start. Recently, manufacturer recommendations for proper cleaning of dishwashers suggest adding dishwashing machine tablets to an empty dish cycle to clean and deodorize the machine at least once a month. The combined cost to purchase dishwasher detergent, rinse aid, and a dishwasher cleaner is around $26.00.
We've mentioned in another blog that cosmetic companies combine ingredients to moisturize skin, diminish wrinkles, include sunblock, and offer a wide selection of pigment shades. So why can't ONE dishwasher detergent pod clean your dishes, remove residue, and leave them spot-free while cleaning your machine during each wash cycle? The ingredients in Powerizer Complete do just that!
They all work effectively together to Clean Everything Dirty. Since our ingredients originate from biobased mineral and plant-derived components, they are highly effective.
To maintain clean dishes, you must maintain your dishwasher. Powerizer is a multipurpose cleaning pod that effectively cleans dishes, the machine and helps to reduce the mineral build-up. These five ingredients work effectively to remove caked-on food, powers out hard water residue, cleans and deodorizes the dishwasher machine.
Natural Enzymes
Natural enzymes are an effective natural plant-based ingredient for cleaning and removing stains from laundry. Seriously, they are a critical ingredients for attacking starch and proteins in the residues left behind from food. Specially formulated natural enzymes are essential. An Enzyme is a protein made of up various combinations of amino acids that speed up the efficacy of chemical reactions. They are highly efficient, and it is why just a little scoop of Powerizer goes a long way.
Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate)
Soda Ash is an exceptional hard water dishwashing detergent ingredient used for softening water. 85% of residents in the US suffer from hard water with calcium and magnesium build-up, which is also known as limescale deposits. Found inside your pipes, dishwasher jets, toilet bowl, bathroom faucet, or showerhead. With softer water and minimal mineral build-up, your appliances perform better.
Surfactant for Dishwashing
We are excited to have a Surfactant made primarily of two sustainable ingredients (coconut oil and sugar). Powerizer's is the best detergent for hard water for both laundry and dish. Its unique nonionic surfactant blend does interact with magnesium and calcium ions found in both hard water laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent. So it works better. A surfactant can only be formulated in a laboratory.
A Surfactant has Four Roles in Removing Grease Residue
- Spreads the ingredients to penetrate the stain. This is known as a wetting agent.
- Loosens the grease from hard surfaces or fibers.
- Traps the grease into the micelle, and the
- Suspends the grease into the water so it can easily be rinsed away.
Sodium Percarbonate
Sodium Percarbonate is an adduct of soda ash and 32% by weight of hydrogen peroxide. In dishwasher detergent, it is the oxygen bleach and the oxidizing agent in Powerizer.
- Less corrosive than chlorine bleach
- Less damaging to fibers
- Is environmentally friendly.
With TAED added, it boosts the performance of hydrogen peroxide, which doesn't perform well in temperatures below 40°C. An activator is helping boost productivity by speeding up the bleaching reaction so that it can effectively clean in lower temperatures. This is especially important when dishwashing detergent travels outward, leaving sewer lines much cleaner than before.
Glucopon
Glucopon is made from regrow-able raw materials, such as corn, fatty alcohols from coconut and palm oils. Making it great for laundry and hard surface cleaning. It's another reason your dishwasher detergent easily cleans your machine while it's running the dish cycle.
It's a superior wetting agent that's known for its:
Non-streaking
Non-filming
Mon-etching
Non-greasy on glossy surfaces
Non-corrosive on synthetic surfaces
With less than one little scoop, Powerizer's perfectly formulated dishwasher detergent and cleaner attacks stains, dissolve food, softens the water. In addition, it works in hot and cold water. It provides a protective coating during the wash process to prevent etching. Hard surfaces dry streak-free once rinsed clean with plain water. Take the advice from A Slob Comes Clean blog Why you should run your dishwasher every night.
To Clean Your Dishwasher Machine all you need is Powerizer Complete Pods or Powerizer Complete Powder.
Follow these simple steps:- Empty the dishwasher.
- Add Powerizer before you load the dishwasher - Put one Complete Pod or three-fourths (3/4) of a scoop of Powerizer into the dispenser. Keep the detergent compartment dry before cleaning or adding any liquid.
- Inspect and clear the drain: Remove the bottom dish rack. Check to make sure no food particles on in the drain.
- Inspect the jet holes on the upper and lower spray fans. Remove any debris. If they are caked-on with residue, you can submerge them in a soak with some Powerizer solution. Rinse them to make sure water is flowing freely.
- Set a test glass - Place one clean glass on the dish rack.
- Run a normal dish cycle unless your machine has a machine clean cycle.
- Check the glass - When the cycle is over, check the clean glass to see if the cloudiness is present. If the glass isn't clear, residues are still present in the dishwasher, and we recommend running a second cycle. Don't forget to place another clean glass on the rack again. This time, move it to the opposite shelf.
- Run another cycle - Insert a Complete Pod or pour the dry powder detergent onto the bottom floor of the dishwasher. The heating elements and the water will surely dissolve the powder detergent quicker and break down the limescale build-up that may have deposited on the spinning arm. It will also open up the water jet holes if any are clogged again.
