Cleaning dishwasher - not often used - looks like rust???

Hi all- I've got a dishwasher that is seldom used. Today I had the plumber out to switch a kitchen facet. Since he had to cut off the water I wanted to make sure everything was flowing and working correctly. When I opened the dishwasher to run it to make sure it was still flowing water - I was met with surprise at the build up of "I am not sure what it is". I ran it to see if it would clean out and it didn't. What can I use besides vinegar as a solution to run through the cycle? I would post a picture but I'm using the iPhone app and there is no upload. I'll try later when I get to a real computer. Thanks!

Found the solution that worked - Thanks all!

I put a cup of vinegar on the top rack and ran the normal cycle.

Then I sprinkled some baking soda around the bottom affected area. Also a dash of Clorox. Ran this on the highest cycle.

Brand new and no signs of break down in material or mechanics.
