The dishwasher is definitely a crucial helper in everyday life. And for good reason, it helps us to save time on household chores such as washing up.
Should you rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher?
If the dishwasher is an essential household item, it’s because it saves you time and effort when cleaning your plates and cutlery.
Technological innovations have made this appliance less water-intensive.
If you want to get the most out of your dishwasher, don’t rinse the dishes before you put them in the appliance.
Pre-washing not only takes time and wastes water, it also prevents you from enjoying the performance of your appliance. And for good reason: by rinsing the dishes, you assume that there will be no more stains on the crockery.
The hot water with detergent is responsible for the cleanliness of your dishes, not the pre-rinse.
To remove dirt from dishes, you can also remove food residues with a spoon or paper towel instead of rinsing them first.
