Have you been noticing a funny odor on your dishes after you hand wash them? Kind of a “wet dog” type of smell? It may have just begun occurring or perhaps it’s been happening for a while. Either way, we’re here to help explain it and give you some solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, why do your dishes smell after hand washing them? – The answer could be contaminated water or it could be bacteria caught in microscopic cracks in your dishware or the phosphate in your detergent is not getting rinsed off well enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s look at each issue individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are things that you can do to get rid of these unpleasant odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) Get your water tested<\/strong> – there are many water testing kits available these days so that you can test your water yourself for any contaminants. If you do find that there are problems with your water supply, contact your local water department immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a list of the water utilities in the areas in and near Atlanta, Ga. that we service:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Atlanta Watershed Management<\/a> Cherokee County Water and Sewer Authority<\/a> Cobb County Water<\/a> Clayton County Water Authority<\/a> Coweta County Water Authority<\/a> Dekalb County Watershed Department<\/a> Douglasville Water Department<\/a> Fayette County Water System<\/a> Forsyth County Water Department<\/a> Fulton County Water Department<\/a> Gwinnett County Water Resource<\/a> Hall County Water Resource<\/a> Henry County Water Authority<\/a> Paulding County Water Department<\/a> Walton County Water and Sewer<\/a> Water Service Division<\/a> 2) Bacteria on dishes<\/strong> – If you have old dishes and suspect that there is a problem with bacteria accumulating in cracks then you can try filling a tub with hot water and adding 2 or 3 capfuls of bleach to it. Place the dishes in there and let them soak for at least one hour. Rinse them thoroughly. I would recommend to wash them again with your dish detergent as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3) Lack of phosphates<\/strong> – Although the removal of phosphates is very beneficial to our environment, the result is that our dishware and glasses have a bad smell and sometimes a hazy glaze on them. The solution is to add white vinegar to the dish washing process. For hand washing dishes and glasses, place them in a tub filled with water until they are all submerged. Place a bowl upright in your dishwasher (normally on the upper rack) and add 1 to 2 cups of vinegar to that bowl. Run the dishwasher as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope that these solutions help you with your smelly dishware problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
