7. Rinse, Don’t Pre-Wash
Most modern dishwashers are powerful enough to handle dirty dishes. Simply scrape off large food scraps but skip pre-rinsing to save water and detergent.
8. Run Hot Water Before Starting
Run the kitchen sink’s hot water tap for a few seconds before starting the dishwasher. This ensures hot water enters immediately for a better wash.
9. Check Spray Arms
Make sure the spray arms can spin freely and aren’t clogged. Clean holes with a toothpick or small brush if you notice poor cleaning performance.
10. Run the Dishwasher Regularly
Dishwashers work best when used regularly. Running your dishwasher frequently prevents seals from drying out and keeps the system functioning well.
