Kitchens and Baths, Repairs and Installation, Simple Solutions, Video by Joe Truini
The plastic coating on dishwasher racks can wear off over time. To extend the life of your rack, snip off the end of the rusted tines with wire cutting pliers, then lightly sand the metal and apply dishwasher rack coating (available at appliance stores) to the bare ends. To speed the process, turn the rack upside down, and dip each tine in the bottle of coating. Allow it to dry at least 24 hours before using.
