The correct answer was false. Everyone who answered was correct!
True or false
Unlike many appliance in the home the dishwasher often will get very little
use. Because of this, in order to prolong it's life expectancy you should
remove or dry out the tiny amount of water
that remains in the bottom to prevent bacterial buildup.
Water that remains in the bottom of your dishwasher is there for a
reason. It keeps seals moist, to prevent leaks and protect the motor, but
when not used for long periods, the water evaporates, seals dry out and
leaks and motor problems become likely. To prevent this, when a dishwasher
will sit un-used for more than two or three weeks, pour in a half-cup of
liquid bleach to prevent bacterial build-up. Then, add three tablespoons
of mineral oil. It coats the surface of the water and prevents
evaporation, even over long periods. With dishwashers use it or lose it or
protect it.
Now ,if anyone on this list thinks they have a great question that would

to homeclinic-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
