Usually, filters in dishwashers are removable. Filters can be found in the bottom corner of the appliance or you can refer to the manual that comes with the dishwasher to find them. After removing the filter, rinse it with running hot water to remove food particles and other debris. You can wipe the area below the filter in the dishwasher with a wet cloth or sponge. Place the filter back after cleaning.

Clean out any debris from the base of the dishwasher and then start cleaning. You can use any dishwasher cleaners or vinegar.

A small toothbrush dipped in hot, soapy water to scrub around the door and clean in-depth in areas like grooves of the rubber seal, small crevices, and hinges. Scrub as hard as possible to remove hard and tough buildup.
