Don’t compromise, sterilise.

There’s more to clean than meets than eye – even shiny plates can still be contaminated with microbes. People with allergies or a new baby know that sanitising utensils used to prepare food as well as baby bottles and feeding gear is the best way to protect your family’s health.

All Bosch dishwashers make a germ-free clean easy to incorporate in your routine. Because dishes are exposed to higher water temperatures for longer periods than during handwashing, your machine is better for hygiene ¹ . For those looking for fully disinfected dishes, selected appliances also offer a Hygiene or HygienePlus option. This increases the rinsing temperatures to over 70°C for at least ten minutes, ensuring antibacterial cleaning ² .

Mould and bacteria love your food as much as you do. Small traces of your meals that get trapped inside your dishwasher’s filter or innards create breeding grounds for these unwanted guests. With a little regular care, you can ensure they never settle in:

• Every two weeks: Clean the filter.
• Once or twice a month: Run the Machine Care programme with our tailor-made cleaning products to flush out grease and food debris.
• Every 4 to 6 months: Tackle tough residues with Bosch dishwasher powder.

Limescale deposits from hard water not only compromise your dishwasher’s efficiency but also provide rougher surfaces inside your machine for bacteria to thrive. Luckily, minimising mineral build-up in your machine is easy:

1. Monitor and adjust water hardness for optimal results.
2. Descale with our easy-to-use solution.
3. Enjoy flawlessly sparkling dishes, every single cycle.
