Why use a dishwasher freshener and how do you use it correctly?

The dishwasher is an essential everyday appliance, but constant moisture and food residue also make it prone to unpleasant odours. Adding a dedicated freshener not only improves the experience of using it but also creates a genuine feeling of cleanliness every time you open the door.

The problem of unpleasant odours in the dishwasher

Although the dishwasher cleans during every cycle, the following can develop between washes:

• Unpleasant odours
• A feeling of trapped moisture
• A less fresh atmosphere in the kitchen

These odours do not always disappear with a wash, as they mainly develop between uses.

What is a dishwasher freshener for?

Dishwasher freshener is designed to work when the appliance is not running:

• Neutralises unpleasant odours from inside
• Maintains a consistent fragrance between washes
• Makes the appliance feel cleaner
• Adds freshness whenever the door is opened

Citrus fragrances, such as lemon, reinforce this sensation thanks to their fresh, clean character.

How to use a dishwasher freshener correctly

To get the best performance from the product, follow a few simple steps:

1. Remove the freshener from its wrapper.
2. Partly remove the cover or protective film on the back (usually aluminium), leaving part of the product covered so the fragrance is released gradually.
3. Place the freshener in the dishwasher’s upper basket or hang it from the basket, avoiding direct contact with the spray arms.
4. Adjust the film opening to suit the fragrance intensity you prefer.

How to remove the aluminium cover

The freshener has an aluminium film on the back that protects the fragrance:

• Find the tab or starting corner.
• Gently peel back the film without removing it completely on first use.
• Leave part covered to prolong the product’s life.
• For a stronger fragrance, gradually peel back more of the film.

This system allows you to control fragrance intensity and optimise how long it lasts.
