My dishwasher tends to smell like rotten eggs, would this help take care of that?

I would highly doubt it. I have not had any experience with the rotten egg smell since I pulled apart the lower trap and disposal portion of my dishwasher and took out all of the funky old food and other funk

I don't know, but it is a disinfectant, so it should. It cleans beautifully on a stainless interior.

This product probably won't work to rid your dishwasher of the rotten egg smell. Try running a 1/2 cup to a full cup of household bleach in a cycle. That should take care of it at least temporarily, and possibly permanently.

No. At least not for my Frigidaire HE. Ordinary detergent creates more suds, which do not drain properly, making the washer smell musty/mildewy.

i just run ours thru the dishwasher on top rack a couple of times a week. Smell dissappeared.

possibly but the small opening would make the dishwasher cleaning it harder. There are cleaning instructions with the kit. Just rinse it out in the sink with some light soap and water then let it air dry. Or if you're a real pirate you'll never wash it and just keep refilling it with rum...your choice

I washed the plates in my dishwasher and had no problem. No unusual smell at all.

No. It's foaming. I don't know what it would do with dishwasher liquid, but it definitely wouldn't work as intended, and might not work at all.

Interesting question. We don't have any unpleasant odor with ours. Perhaps you have ferrous iron in your water. One cause of the rotten egg smell is from dissolved hydrogen sulfides in the raw water (H2S). This is often found in waters with high iron content and a low PH. and that can create an unpleasant odor. We have well water and also a water softener that removes some of the iron and minerals but we've not had a problem with odor. Good Luck.

It may help, but your problem may be more complicated. Here is a link to an article that goes into more detail:http://www.watertechonline.com/articles/replacing-anodes-getting-rid-of-odor. I recently replaced a spent anode in my hot water tank with this one, I also flushed and treated the tank with CRL. One of those things has made the rotten egg smell from my heated well water go away.

Try cleaning your empty dishwasher with a cup or two of vinegar. Then try again. Perhaps you used too much?

The inside of mine smelled pretty bad when I first got... I think se hot soapy water will do the trick.

It actually does help clean the hard water deposits off the inside of the dishwasher. So, I would say yes.

I have never tried it on a dishwasher but in the truck that i installed it in there was a slight smell the first day after i installed it and then the next day the smell was no longer there. it has been a few months since i installed it and the smell never returned and with temps in South Louisiana hitting a heat index of 110 the smeel still has not returned.i hope this helps and let me know how it goes because i never thought about doing the dishwasher butnow you have me thinking.

Not sure about the dishwasher, but a mild bleach or soap solution should work for cleaning, though the mouthpiece is really the only thing that gets any kind of filth attached to it with any frequency. I haven't heard the freezer trick, but it seems like it should work, so long as it is empty (or close to it). Though at any rate, the factory slimeguard coating is proving to be bulletproof, I have not had to clean or sterilize the inside since I bought it, nothing grows and the taste is fresh regardless of how long the water is left inside. The only situation I can think of where something might be able to get a hold inside would be if a sugary sports drink mix was used to flavor the water inside.

I don't know why you are asking so I'll just throw out ideas. When my washing machine became smelly with mildew I tried many products. What worked best was vinegar. I put in a large amount, started the washer on hot, and let it not spin out overnight. Then I'd add a quarter cup of vinegar in the final rinse, especially with towels. That worked well. I would try pouring a half gallon of vinegar into the dishwasher and leave it for a few hours, then let it run to completion. Wipe down the seals and around the door. I don't think that would cause harm, but do it at your win risk. I think smelly washer is citric acid like is in soda pop and is an acid like vinegar.

I run mine through the dishwasher once a month but just hand wash in between. I use mine daily and have never had any problem with staining or odors.

Sorry, I can't help. When my old drainboard's plug became really ugly and I was unsuccessful in finding a replacement, I cleaned it well so that I knew it wasn't harboring mildew or bacteria. I have put the components into the dishwasher with good results.

Yes, that's the dishwasher I used it on, I put a bottle in each drawer, it works great, and smells great.This item was introduced to me my service repair man.
