| How to Clean Your Dishwasher With Kool Aid May 17th 2012, 20:00 Lemonade Kool Aid can be used as more than a tangy drink––it can also be put to a second use as a dishwasher cleaner. The citric acid content in it will remove iron stains and lime build-up from inside a dishwasher, leaving it nice and clean for the next round of washes. - Purchase unsweetened lemonade Kool-Aid. It must be this flavor only because of its citric acid content and lack of color. If you like lemonade, buy enough for a drink and a clean!
- Sprinkle the entire single package of Kool-Aid into the dishwasher powder holder.
- Remove any dishes in the dishwasher. The method should run using an empty machine only.
- Run a normal cycle wash. The lemonade Kool-Aid will clean away as it runs through the cycle.
- Use the dishwasher as usual after cleaning. It should be free of iron stains and lime deposits after the Kool-Aid clean.
- If you don't get Kool-Aid where you live, run any sugarless/unsweetened lemonade mix through the machine instead. Use about a tablespoon worth.
- Don't forget to mix the Kool-Aid thoroughly throughout your dishes, if it is possible by separate sachets to create that extra sparkle
Edit Warnings - Only the lemonade variety should be used; first because it is the only one that works and second, because a red or green streaked dishwasher doesn't look good.
- Do not use a lemonade mix containing sugar. This will leave a sticky residue.
Edit Things You'll Need - Lemonade Kool-Aid powder or other unsweetened lemonade powder
