Dishwasher & Disposal Maintenance Tips
Dishwasher: To decrease the hard water build up that can shorten the working life of your dishwasher, clean the dishwasher with vinegar every 3-4 months. Put a cup of vinegar into the machine, run a normal wash cycle (with no dishes), and let the dishwasher clean itself.
Garbage Disposal: Keep odors away by periodically cleaning your disposal by just putting ice down it. Be sure and start the unit first, before putting a handful of ice into the drain. Additionally, many people also put some orange or lemon peels into it to give the disposal a fresh scent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you get here?
We completely understand that if your dishwasher is not functioning properly, you want to have a professional at your home quickly. Reach out to us and we will arrange for a specialist to come to your home as soon as possible at a time that’s convenient for you.
Should I fix or replace my dishwasher?
Unfortunately, some service calls conclude with our technicians recommending the purchase of a new appliance, particularly if the cost of repairs will be close to the expense of a new unit. The average lifespan of a dishwasher is 7 to 9 years, so if you have had your appliance for about that length of time and come across a significant problem, it’s probably time to start looking into buying a new dishwasher. Another factor to consider is energy efficiency and new features now available. It may be worth it to replace your appliance with a newer model that is more water-efficient. Also, getting a newer dishwasher can update the look of your kitchen.
If you decide to replace your dishwasher, one of our specialists can get your new appliance hooked up quickly and correctly.
What can I do to extend my dishwasher’s life?
There are a few different things you can do to keep your dishwasher working in great condition for as long as possible:
- Scrape all leftover food off of your dishes and into the trash before putting them into the dishwasher.
- Clean your filters regularly and replace them if they look damaged
- As needed, wipe the door seal with white vinegar and a dishrag to clean out any food residue that may have collected inside your appliance.
- Don’t overload your dishwasher.
- Every three to four months, pour white vinegar or a dishwasher safe cleaning product into your dishwasher and let it run a cycle with no dishes inside.
ABC’s specialists are happy to perform diagnostics on your appliance to ensure your dishwasher is working efficiently. When we’re done, we will provide you with a written report on the health of your dishwasher.

“We had a great experience with ABC Home and Commercial Services! Our technician, Eddy, was fantastic—super nice, very knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions. He did a thorough job taking care of our home, and we really appreciated his professionalism. One thing I especially love about ABC is that they send a detailed report after the visit with their findings and recommendations—such a great touch. Overall, we're extremely pleased and would absolutely recommend Eddy and ABC to anyone needing their services. We'll definitely be using them again in the future!”

“Ales did an amazing job with our consult appointment and we ended up contracting with ABC for an install on a water treatment system. He’s was timely, friendly, and completely professional. In fact, he answered questions that other estimators and sales reps from other companies left unanswered, and it was quite apparent that he was being more truthful and honest in his recommendations than some of the other companies we got estimates from. I greatly appreciate that he did not try to sell us on something that we did not need, or on an application that would not work on our property. We live in an older home that is definitely a fixer-upper, and we will definitely be calling on ABC Home and Commercial Services in the future for estimates on other projects. If you are in the market for a water treatment system for your home, or a number of other upgrades, you should definitely reach out to this company.”
