Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial, and it only takes a few drops to do the job. It's perfect if you find that you have a funky dishwasher smell that you just can't get rid of. The smell of tea tree oil isn't for everyone, but I personally like it. It smells like fresh leaves and earth. I use Trader Joe's 100% Australian Tea Tree Oil.
All you need to do is drop about 5-6 drops of the oil in your dishwasher's soap dispenser, and add your dishwashing soap on top of that. I like to use Seventh Generation Free and Clear dishwasher detergent.
It's great biodegradable soap, not too expensive, and it GETS DISHES CLEAN (unlike most "green" detergents) without leaving spots. Run a regular cycle, and ::POOF::: your dishwasher is disinfected, clean, and smelling.... well.....
....like tea tree oil!
