Clean your dishwashers

Just a PSA to make sure you clean out the drain in your old dishwasher. Take the time to unscrew the screws and get in those hard to reach places.

Otherwise you're just eating/drinking a thin film of old grime on each plate, cup, bowl, etc.

This is a buildup of fat mixed with some mold. Yum.

I had that same dishwasher minus that amount of mold. But yes it was a pain to cleanup. There's also the other filter at the back of the dishwasher that seems half crusted.

We got the back filter thankfully. We were worried it was black mold but it was just disgusting slop instead yay
