Some brands of dishwasher specifically recommend not pre rinsing the dishes. The detergent actually works better if you just scrape them prior to loading. We have a Bosch dishwasher and this is in the instructions.

All these years and I didn’t know about facing items in on bottom rack. Sometimes it’s the simple things!

[mysoulcalledlife]

Excellent. I do all the things🙌 except one thing— I’m a housekeeper for a home that holds large parties so if I need to Tetris the dishwasher, I rinse them first. That way they’re still getting sanitized but I can fit way more in there without worrying about food particles.

[LovingKatina]

Thank you so much for this video. Never knew I could adjust the top rack and place the dishes facing the middle.

This channel is so satisfying. Logical, thorough, simple and very well presented and filmed. Audio is also very tidy. Top job. Getting vicarious joy just seeing things done properly.

Some dishwashers, such as Bosch, do not have exposed heating elements. I can put plastics anywhere in my Bosch which makes it really easy for larger plastic items.

Wow ok. Ive been loading my dishes incorrectly for 20yrs. Great video. Short and sweet and to the point.

The best way to learn how best to use your dishwasher is to read the manual. You can look up everything on the internet! This is how I learned that my dishwasher has a unique “turbo zone” that I can use to super scrub large items like cutting boards and pans and in order to use the turbo zone I have to make it face the back wall where there are jets. I’d never heard of such a thing before and still have yet to see a washer like it. I also learned how to maintain it, how much soap to use, best loading practices and all kinds of settings. Now I need to find my refrigerator manual…

@Clean That Up here's a tip to share with everyone. Run hot water in the sink that feeds the dishwasher prior to starting the cleaning cycle. It cuts down on the cycle time and should ultimately prolong the life of the heating element by not working as hard to bring the water up to temperature.

[marciaann]

Wow! Thank you for all this great
Info! I am going to go load my dishwasher right now… The right way! 😆

It really depends on your dishwasher. I feel like people assume everyone has the same dishwasher. If I don't rinse my dishes they come out dirty. You can tell me not to all you want. But it's just not true for my dishwasher. I've tried

[SuzanneStutzle]

Thanks for this one. It's good to know that I passed the being dishwasher savvy lessons with flying colours. I always do all the things you mentioned. This must be a first for me. haha

[gbottesini]

That pod with the dissolvable membrane is the number one reason dishwashers break. The gunk accumulates at the drain and it eventually clogs. Always use dry/solid detergent.

[virginiamoss]

Consumer Reports says to never place your sponges in the dishwasher. They say small food particles can get imbedded into the sponge and not get rinsed out thoroughly, leaving your sponge more vulnerable to germs than before.

[elizabethtaylor]

Thank you very much for that very interesting and helpful tutorial. Several things you mentioned I had no idea about, especially the filter and the flatware separators! Wow, learn something new every day. All very logical, useful info. Much appreciated

[HeronCoyote]

I clean my dw on the first of every month (tomorrow, actually), especially the filter. This keeps it running more smoothly. Like no water pooling in the filter to cause the dreaded Error 22, Watertrap full.
Scrap off food particles, but don’t rinse. The detergent has to have something to “eat”, or it will eat (scratch) your dishes.
Put your detergent in the dispenser because the machine wets the dishes first, like wetting your hair before using shampoo.

[anitahuffman]

It just dawned on me recently that I don't need to overfill the dishwasher! I can do a 2/3 load and they get clean, haha. My mother used to stuff the washing machine and dishwasher over full and nothing got clean. I figured out the washing machine years ago but never the dishwasher.

[tagpro]

Great vid. One thing i would add about putting the tablet in the soap dispenser is that nearly all dishwashers have a space for prewash detergent, which means it's often better (and cheaper) to use a powder detergent so you can fill the main wash and pre wash compartments. Technology connections has a great video on this.

[rob-oewr]

Useful tips. You mentioned putting dirty plates facing the middle. My dishwasher rack is designed to have the plates facing forward. 😊
