How to take care of your dishwasher

For many people developing the “perfect” methodology for loading up their dishwasher can become an obsession or worse a real sticking point in a relationship. In an effort to figure out the best way to load dishwashers and improve its products appliance manufacturer Bosch has launched a dishwasher loading challenge The game, which is played Tetris style, has already started generating some helpful hints:

• Place cups and bowls at an angle to avoid water buildup.
• Stack plates in size order and facing in the same direction.
• Empty the bottom rack first to avoid dripping.
• Don’t stack pans on top of each other.
  

The main takeaway is that dishwasher loading should not be random. Have a strategy and think about specifics.
Another theory debunked by the challenge was that dishes should be rinsed before washing. Simply scraping off residual food is actually all you should need to do before running the dishwasher. If you find dishes are not getting clean then it is important to reach out for assistance.
