If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean dishwasher filter effectively at home.
Step-by-Step Guide
Locate the Filter
Remove the bottom rack. The filter is usually at the base, under the spray arm.

Twist the cylindrical filter counterclockwise and lift. Remove any flat filter beneath.
Rinse Under Water
Hold under running water and scrub with soft brush to remove food particles.
Soak if Needed
For stubborn grime, soak in warm soapy water for 10 minutes, then scrub again.
Clean the Housing
Wipe the filter housing area with a damp cloth. Remove any debris in the cavity.
Reinstall Properly
Place filter back and twist clockwise until it locks. Ensure it's seated properly.
