How do you clean a dishwasher with vinegar?
Instead of putting your dishwashing detergent in just put the vinegar in and let it go full cycle. I use "Simple Green" but don't know if you can get that in the U.S. Go to your local grocery store and see what they have that is a degreaser and use that instead.
One easy way is to add a solution of white vinegar to a complete cycle periodically. This should keep your dishwasher fresh and ensure food soils are broken down and washed away during the washing cycle.
Combined with the very hot water and the mechanical action of the dishwasher, white vinegar ensures a high standard of cleanliness than could be achieved by hand washing. As a result, harmful bacteria that might otherwise remain unseen on dishes are destroyed.
Other top dishwasher tips:
• Use the 50°C to 55°C or lower temperature programs instead of high temperature programs when running your dishwasher. It could save you 84kWh in power and save you hundreds of dollars on electricity bills.
• Load dishes according to the dishwasher manufacturers instructions to allow for proper water circulation.
• Check and clean drains and filters regularly to ensure efficient operation.
• Take a few minutes to check in the machine users guide for the most efficient program according to the size or type of load in your dishwasher.
By performing these regular tasks, you will ensure that your dishwasher remains free of hard water build-up that can cause serious problems with your appliance. It will reduce the need for hard water stain removal from your dishes and cutlery and save you time and money in the long run.
Does Farm Bureau home insurance cover a carpet damaged by pets and water from the dishwasher in SC?
Damage caused by dosmetic animals is excluded in all homeowner's policies and it is unlikely that SC would require an exception for this exclusion for policies issued in their state. Water damage to carpeting from a plumbing system leak (if sudden as opposed to a slow leak over time) is a covered loss. Could it be that the water damage did not destroy the carpet as it could be dried and cleaned but due to the pet damage it was ruined? //
Compression fittings unscrew. Inside you will find an 'olive' (a thin copper ring) which is compressed onto the pipe to create a seal when the outer nut is tightened up. If you wish to replace the compression fitting then you may need to use a junior hacksaw to saw through & remove the olive - be careful not to cut into the pipe unless you wish to replace it too. As for the dishwasher I would guess that you could use the same fitting unless it is leaking. If it is leaking then replace the olive as above.

You paid an annual percentage rate of approximately 57.4%.
Working through the math, the dishwasher was $250 if bought outright. You paid $20 at the time so you were financing $230 ($250 - $20) and made $340 (10 * $34) in payments over 10 months.
The basic interest rate is 47.8% ($340/$230 - 1), however, you only paid that amount over 10 months, so the basic rate must be annualized to account for the remaining two months of the year resulting in 57.4% (47.8% * 12 / 10).
A form for baseball hats that a person can use in the dishwasher to wash baseball hats?
I would not recommend washing your hat in the dish washer because it can ruin the dishwasher! if you do not want to shrink the cap then put it in the washer and then hang to dry!!!
Do not wash your hat in any machine. It will ruin the bill. Wash it by hand in the sink, use a little brush. And keep the bill as dry as possible.
How to Build Accessible or ADA compliant.?
There are many advantages to building ACCESSIBLE or ADA COMPLIANT. There is one good reference that I would send you to first. That is your local building official. This person will be able to tell you which codes are applicable in your area. They also can help you understand how they are interpreting these codes and specifications. Why would this be important? Isn't the code written in black and white? Yes and YES… however, the bible is also written in black and white and you know how many different interpretations there are on that one. Seccond there is a place called the Access Board. They are tasked with developing and interpreting the Fair Housing Act (FHA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). Here is a link to their site (www.access-board.gov).
How do you remove candle wax from inside kitchen plumbing?
It sounds to me like you have a big problem. The first step would probly be to remove the trap under the sink. If it was a small amount of wax it will probly be all in the trap. If it was a large amount of wax then your going to have a problem. I have only one other suggestion and that would be to keep a steady stream of boiling water down the drain. It will keep the wax melting and maybe take it all the way out of the drain sytem. On the other hand of it was a very large amount of wax you might have to try getting a drain snake and pushing it out. my last suggestion would cost the most and that would be to replace the drain sytem. good luck, shaun
Our 4 yr old dumbed about a cup and half of hot wax down our sink tonight. We removed the p trap and there it all was! We cleaned out trap and ran boiling hot water thru the sink...wahla! good as new! SASHA

Is the stench resulting from a plastic tong melting on the dishwasher heating element toxic?
It is possible that melting plastic in a dishwasher or other appliance can create toxic fumes. It largely depends on the type of plastic which is being melted. The best bet would be to properly ventilate the area and go into another area of the house until the smell is gone.
How do you turn the water to the toilet off?
Behind and/or under the toilet is a shut off valve. You only need to turn it like turning the faucet off. If that doesn't work, you'll have to turn off the main valve located outside the house in some cases.
If the surface that is coming off is teflon (typically gray or black in color), you need to throw the pots away and replace them. There is some evidence that ingesting teflon is not safe.

Is washing soda an eco safe alternative to automatic dishwasher detergent?
Yes, washing soda (sodium carbonate) is environmentally safe. Sodium is ubiquitous in the environment; it is one of the ions that make up table salt, as well as being a component of sand and many other minerals. Carbonate is found in limestone and some other minerals. The main contribution of sodium carbonate to washing (whether dishes, clothes, or whatever) is to increase the pH (make the water more basic) so as to help convert fats to soaps. It does this job better if mixed with equal parts of borax (as in twenty mule team).
