The mistake everyone makes with the dishwasher: never do it again
The dishwasher is certainly a fundamental help in everyday life. And for good reason, it helps us save time on household chores such as washing dishes. However, many make a mistake with this appliance without realizing it, thus causing high water consumption.
If you break this habit, you can get more out of your dishwasher.
Do you have to rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher?
If the dishwasher is an essential household item, it is because it saves you time and effort when cleaning dishes and cutlery. Thanks to technological innovations, this appliance has become less water-hungry.
However, many people make a mistake with this appliance because they think they are doing the right thing. If you want to get the most out of your dishwasher, do not rinse your dishes before putting them in the appliance. Pre-rinsing is not only time-consuming and wastes water, but it also prevents you from enjoying the performance of your appliance. And for good reason, when you wash the dishes, you think there are no more stains on them. However, dishwashers operate at high temperatures to ensure that the dishes are perfectly clean at the end of the cycle. It is the hot water and detergent that keep the dishes clean, not the pre-wash cycle. If you develop this habit, you are not only limiting the dishwasher’s potential, but you are also wasting a valuable resource: water. Simply scrape the dishes without rinsing them and then put them in the dishwasher to wash.
