In most grocery stores, and even in Wal-Mart, where they sell the dishwasher soap, they sell small bottles of dishwasher cleaner. You put the bottle of cleaner in the dishwasher, without the cap, open side down. And you run the dishwasher the way you normally would, but with nothing else in it. When the cycle is done, your dishwasher should be clean and not have any bad odors.

I saw this answer and wanted to post a suggestion. We found that doing this and lots of all the other things wouldn't take the smell away for long. Its always came back. Then I remembered that the inspector had said something about the hose under the sink when we bought our new house. I got out the book and sure enough he noted that the hose between the dishwasher and disposal needed a loop in it 6in higher than the bottom of the sink because we didn't have the vent on top of the sink. So we were getting the smells from the disposal coming into the dishwasher. My husband pulled out the dishwasher and was able to find enough hose to do this and WOW no more smell! Hope you check this out and that its fixes your problem as well.

The way to get odors out of your dishwasher is to use Affresh™ dishwasher/disposal tablets. For a bag of six tablets (2-6 months) it costs about $6. Recomended use is once a month or as needed.

Odors are generally caused by organisms, and there are several general methods for odor/organism removal. Any of the following should be pretty effective, as they make it difficult or impossible for organisms to thrive; and all may be considered 'all natural.'

Hydrogen peroxide will raise the oxygen level to a point that is too high for the organisms to live.

Vinegar, lemon juice, or some other acid will make it too acidic for them.

Baking soda will make it too basic for them.

These are all cheap, natural solutions for just about any odor problem; so don't be shy in your application of one or the other of them, in order for best results.
