Run the machine empty with the cleaner placed according to the instructions usually upside down in the cutlery basket and run on a hot program (≥60 °C) without other detergent.
When: Monthly in normal households; every 2–3 weeks if you run many greasy loads or use low-temperature cycles.

3) Denkmit Klarspüler (rinse aid)
Why: Dm klarspüler spülmaschine is a rinse aid that improves drying, reduces spotting and prevents mineral film on glass and chrome surfaces. It’s inexpensive and helps the machine run cleaner overall by preventing deposits that attract grime. If your glasses come out spotted or your machine shows mineral film, use a rinse aid.
How to use: Fill the rinse-aid reservoir and set the dispenser level to your water hardness and preferred drying. Refill when the machine indicator shows low.

4) Denkmit Spülmaschinen-/Spezialsalz (dishwasher salt)
Why: If you live in an area with medium to hard water, try spülmaschine salz dm, a dishwasher salt which is essential. It protects the water softening system inside the dishwasher and prevents scale on heating elements, pumps and inside surfaces ,directly increasing lifespan and efficiency. DM salz für spülmaschinedm (salt for dishwasher) is sold at very low price points, ofcourse you can find expensive alternatives in the partner brands at DM.
How to use: Refill the salt reservoir according to the manual and your local water hardness. Check the machine’s salt indicator and top up as needed.
Tip: If you’re unsure about local hardness, check your water supplier’s website or a test strip. Too little salt = scale; too much is wasted.

5) Spülmaschinen pulver DM and Spülmaschinen Gel DM (Dishwasher Powder DM and Dishwasher Gel DM)
Why: DM pulver spülmaschine (DM Powder for Dishwasher) comes in partners brands like Frosch (eco-brand that dm stocks) which offers powder and gel options.

6) Denkmit Entkalker (dm descaler) for wash & dish machines
Why: For limescale deposits that machine cleaner doesn’t remove use spülmaschinen entkalker dm, a citric-acid based descaler made for washing and dish machines.

An extra little accessory to your dishwasher machine, which helps remove the odour.
Why: This dishwasher machine-deodoriser is designed to neutralise unwanted odours inside your dishwasher and leave a fresh citrus & lime scent between washes. It uses a patented anti-odour technology so that the fragrance is released between cycles and does not transfer onto your dishes
How to use: Using the included Easy Clip, attach the deodoriser to the upper or side basket in the dishwasher (ensuring you don’t block the spray arms). One unit lasts for about 60 wash cycles and replace it when the liquid has been used up

Finish & Somat (premium option available at dm)
Why: Finish & Somat are higher-end brands (often better at removing tough stains and tea/coffee discoloration) and have machine protect formulations too. Use these products occasionaly as a booster or when loads are heavily soiled. It’s a common complementary option to the budget Denkmit tabs.
How to use: As per Finish or Somat instructions.


How these products combine into a maintenance routine (easy calendar)
- Daily / per load: Use a quality detergent (Denkmit tabs or Frosch/Finish) + rinse aid if you want spotless glass. Scrape large food remains before loading.
- Weekly: Check and clean the filter (remove trapped food). Quick wipe of door seals and spray arms if visible debris.
- Monthly: Run Denkmit Spülmaschinenreiniger on a hot empty cycle to remove grease and odors. Refill salt/rinse agent if low.
- Every 3–6 months (or as needed): Use Denkmit Entkalker if you have medium/hard water or visible scale. If water hardness is low, you can do this less frequently.
Final notes + safety
- Many independent product tests show good value and cleaning performance from Denkmit tabs at dm as they are often the budget winner and highly rated by users. For tougher stains and premium protection consider alternating with Finish. (See comparative testing and product reviews.)
- Always follow both the dishwasher manufacturer’s instructions and the product labels (safety, dosing and disposal). Keep strong cleaners/descalers away from children and use eye protection if the label recommends it.
