    A dishwasher should be able to clean things on its own with proper detergent and loading (not blocking soiled areas).

    If it doesn’t, it needs maintenance.

      I’ve never had one that could. They’ve always just spread whatever’s on the dishes onto everything that’s in there. If the maintenance that might correct that is something a non mechanically inclined person could do, I’d be happy to learn!

        The trick is cleaning the filter. If it gets clogged, the guck has nowhere to go. This guy has a pretty straightforward tutorial. It only takes a few minutes, but if you’re having trouble finding the filter, DM me a picture of the inside of your dishwasher (with the bottom rack pulled out as far as it goes).
