Wow, I am going to get some Shout @CelticCrafter. Thank you for the tip.

About once or twice a year, I put small bowls of vinegar on top and bottom shelf of dishwasher and run it.
The liquid in the bowls is quite cloudy when the cycle finishes, so I suppose that might be residue from food or detergent. At any rate, I've never had a smelly dishwasher.

I just recently heard about the 'cleaning' vinegar on these boards....I do use that on my windows with dawn soap...and it made a big difference.
I just did my windows, too. Wiped down my kitchen appliances with it and it worked well.

but for the difference in price, i will stick with plain 5% as the high the acidty level the more it would rot clothes
@shortbreadlover What "reference desk" are you on? A Library? Some kind of Home Ec. Dept.? This post was unclear. What site have you quoted?

Remember the syndicated column, Hints from Heloise? She was an advocate of regular ole vinegar for many uses, inlcuding the laundry rinse cycle. Removal of the detergent residue also iimproves absorancy of towels.
