Question from Crazy Girl
I wanted to get rid of the scum buildup from my dishwasher. I was told I had build up because I was using detergent that was not strong enough to cut the grease. (Seventh Generation Free & Clear) Long story short, I purchased Refresh diswasher cleaner, which did clean very well. But left a very strong perfume odor! Even my husbands complains and he is not bothered by scents. It has been several days, and I have tried everything I could think of to get rid of this odor that fills the whole house every time I use the dishwasher, and lingers for hours. I can only air out the house for so long considering the temps. are in the 20’s. Items, I tried: vinager, washing soda, borax with the longest cycles, but to no avail. The manufacture has been no help. Is there anything else I could try? Or am I doomed to wait it out till it wears out. (hopefully soon)

Readers? Any experience with this?
I have the same problem – odor also affected some plastic containers.
Have a very similar experience happening now. Did you ever get resolution?
