Off-topic. I moved into a place 10 years ago, and haven’t used the dishwasher even once. I now want to use it. Any tips on how to prepare it given that lots of “stuff” is probably backed up in its plumbing?

- n8cpdx 5y agoClean out the filter(s) and consider running a clean cycle. I bought a heavily used portable unit a few years ago and lemi-shine did a great job. I've had good results with affresh in other appliances. I really don't think brand matters too much, the cleaning solution is pretty basic. Usually they drain into the garbage disposal if preinstalled, so if your sink works the dishwasher is probably fine.
- tmountain 5y agoOften time they share an outflow with the kitchen sink, so the plumbing may not be as backed up as you imagine provided that you use the sink regularly. That said, proceed with caution.
