Proper use of dishwashers
Rinsing most of the food off before loading the dishwasher, has been a life-long hard habit...for me to break.
Stop rinsing your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, experts say Quote:

Also, the enzymes in dishwasher soap are designed to latch onto food particles in order to do their job. With dishes that are pre-rinsed, they have nothing to latch on to.
Pre-rinsing also uses water needlessly.

Our dishwasher still cannot seem to cope with rib and chicken bones!

I guess my reluctance was based on too many years of "don't put that plate in there with all of that food on it"...still ringing in my ears. |

I know someone who actually washes her dishes and the saucepans in the sink before she uses the dish washer - she says the dish washer sanitizes them, she washes them!
My otherhalf needs smelling salts when he sees all that water going down the drain!

I think our problem is different then most. When there is a big family, the dishwasher is run daily so pre rinsing is not necessary. Because we use many less dishes, eat out, we run ours maybe once a week. Without pre-rinsing, they stuff dries on and the dishwasher doesn't get it clean.
At least that is what I think, because I tried it.

We use the Finish Powerballs. The only thing I pre-wash is silverware with mayonnaise or peanut butter on it.

If the house is around 5 years old do we all have the same dishwashers? Or do the more expensive homes have batter appliances.

For my two cents worth
You can try it. The risk is if it doesn't work you will need to go back to what you were doing before.
BEWARE-your dishwasher has a screen to stop large food particles. It is in the bottom of the machine. You need to regularly empty it-easy- If, it getts stuffed water will flow on to your floor. |

We only run our dishwasher once every 3-4 days. If we don't rinse the dishes off, when you open the dishwasher, it will smell bad, especially with milk residue on glasses. I always rinse and have no problems with my dishes coming out sparkly clean!

I never use the dishwasher. When you turn it on, it seems to take forever to complete a cycle. I just use paper plates and plasticware. Very easy and cheap.

Dishwasher
I know a person who “Never” used the dishwasher except once or twice a year and it turned out the dishwasher was ruined for lack of use. To each his own......

That can happen. The bottom of the dishwasher needs water so gaskets don’t dry and become brittle.
