Getting egg smell off of crockery

[Ironfloor269]

My bowls and plates smell of egg (if they've been used for egg, it's not a general egg-like smell) when they come out of the dishwasher. Do yours? I use lemon scented dishwasher tablets and similar scented rinseaid but nothing seems to help.

The only thing that somewhat works is if I pour a shit load of washing up liquid and some water and let them soak in it for a while. But this somewhat defeats the purpose of the dishwasher, right?

I use Aldi dishwasher tablets, not the cheapest one though.

Should I use Finish or a better brand of tablets then?

Your dishwasher probably needs a good clean. Undo the arms and wash them out, scrub the drain bit, and put it all back together and use a dishwasher cleaner. If that doesn’t work but new plates.

White wine vinegar seems to kill a lot of smells - maybe if you wipe them with vinegar, let it dry then run them through the dishwasher again.
