Is rust in your dishwasher harmful?

No, rust is not harmful. However, it's not helpful, either. And, if your dishwasher's racks are the source of the rust, they may need replacing, or you may want to consider replacing the dishwasher entirely (racks tend to cost around $100-150 each). Consider a model with nylon racks if replacing the entire dishwasher.


When you wash your wolfgang puck Knives in the dishwasher you get what looks like rust spots. What can you do about this?

The rust spots might be caused by rusting parts inside the dishwasher, such as under the 'wand' piece that rotates at the bottom of the dishwasher. Consult your manufacturer's Operating Manual FIRST then a hardware store manager for suggestions; different products can reduce rust---but not remove it completely. The part(s) will likely need replaced for the rust spots to stop on your knives.

How do i Remove rust stains from a dishwasher?

Put in "No More Yellow" (not yellow out) into the dishwasher and run it through a cycle. (empty, of course). Then run the dishwasher at least once more to clean out any existing residue. No More yellow is toxic, but as long as you put the dishwasher through a full cycle once again, it will be fine. It is also the best I have found for getting rust out of clothes.
