    In my dishwasher, the paint in the dishwasher rods go off and rust forms on the top tip of the rods. When I keep microwave dishes on the top rack, these dishes get some scratches. Even my stainless steel tumblers form rust inside them. I stay in apartment and the DW must be around 8 years old! Any tip to remove or prevent rust in dishwasher rods?

    Thanks
    Padmausha

    Dear Padmausha,

    That is really very annoying. I have never heard of anything like it. 8yrs is not too old for a dishwasher. You should make complaints to your apartment owners. They should change your dw. If not, note the make of the dishwasher and call the firm or the place the dw was bought at and explain as to what the problem is. It must have been a faulty equipment.

    Dear Padmausha,

    Yes i do believe that in some dishwashers the vinyl coating tends to wear off over time. Ask you apt manager to either change the dishwasher or just get new racks from the manufacturer for your dishwasher.

    I got this idea from my local newspaper:

    1. You can wash your combs in the dishwasher.
    2. You can also wash your toothbrush holder in the dishwasher.

    I tried both these and it is really amazing.

    Wow, it seems that the DW is also very useful and convenient. I am also thinking about getting a DW, but it is not so popular in India. IFB is marketing one model. But with scarcity of good maids, I think we in India also will start depending on it.

    Hi vidya,

    i think you are expert, you have really guided us. I have one problem, on steel utensils sometimes i can see black deposit in-spite of washing them in one hour washing cycle. I you advise me who can i correct this.
