It is very common to wash dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, we even use a sponge and detergent but it is not necessary.
While it is true that leftovers should be removed, it is not necessary to wash them before placing them in this appliance. Usually the device is responsible for removing food residues, since it has a filter for this. If your dishwasher is not cleaned properly, it may be because it has a malfunction or the filter needs to be cleaned.
Believing that all dishwashers are the same
When we buy a dishwasher, we think they are all the same. The reality is very different, each appliance is unique and it is essential to read the manufacturer’s recommendations and know the correct arrangement of crockery and cutlery.
Most dishwashers have a basket to put the cutlery in and we can put it in without having to wash it first. Thus, if we want the washing to be effective, it is important to use the machine correctly.
These days, most cutlery is dishwasher safe, but if it’s made of a different material like silver or stainless steel, it’s best to put them in separate baskets. In the case of silver cutlery, it is best to remove them before the drying process begins to avoid damaging them. When in doubt, we can always try to put a part in the dishwasher to see if the material won’t get damaged. In addition, it must be remembered that wooden items should not be placed in the dishwasher.
It is important to be aware of all the functions of a dishwasher or any other household appliance before using it to avoid damaging the appliance and the objects in it, but also to improve its use as much as possible.
