what cleans crusty soap deposits?
Working on out 7 year old dishwasher & found some material caught in the impeller reducing water circulation. I was hoping I could get some of this crusty soap scum off the parts while its apart & its just not coming off. I tried CLR & some other cleaners with no luck. Anybody know of something that will break this down some?
Curious & not sure what else to try.

Thanks, I'll try that. I wonder if a person shouldn't run something like that through the machine once in a while to prevent this build up?

I soak my shower heads in vinegar, 50/50 with water through coffee maker, valley pans, bolts/nuts, and other misc rusty parts. Cleans them up and takes rust/grime off. Haven't wrecked anything yet.... Best of all it's CHEAP

Borax also works on some soap residues. Also cheap!

I'm guessing this is an overnight type soaking? I tried it for about 3 hours & nothing really happened. So, I Picked about a couple gallons & will let everything sit longer & see what happens.
