I'm almost 30 and I've been living on my own for almost 7 years... and I never knew all these because they were not taught to me. I'm so happy to live in this day and age where these hacks are available to the general public!

[@ebonitucker4512]

They were taught to you. It’s called an owner’s manual. Also it’s not the world’s responsibility to teach you basic life skills.

[@Resist4]

@@ebonitucker4512 Exactly! lol

[@kaella463]

I'm not a dishwasher expert, but when we got ours I was concerned about the long run time... almost 4 hours! So I did some research and learned that the reason behind that is that newer dishwashers are made to be energy efficient and they use less water, cycling through the same water a couple times... and that's why it takes so long. When you do express wash it takes less time but uses more water.

[@kevinalexander9255]

Same, this is what I gathered after watching many videos that express wash uses more water and electricity. So we run our dishwasher overnight at 3:30 hrs/mins. Also, did her wine glasses break?

[@majorsmackdown]

They are also slowed down if your water isn't hot enough, (at least some) will use the heating element to get the water to temp and that takes more time.

[@MsGrowltiger]

Further they don't get the dishes clean.

[@kmiches]

Unless I missed it, a tip I found recently and live by is to run your kitchen sink until hot. Then start the dish water. Game changer!!!!

[@stephaniebodle5180]

Yes 🙌 a friend just told me about that makes a big difference. We have a basement and hot water heater has to travel a ways to the kitchen

[@sherbear2016]

I’ve seen and read the same thing

[@sunrae7680]

Thank you for the info ! 😀

[@cm_mb]

I know that info is specified in the owner's manual. Same with how to load the dishwasher. I always read the owner's manual first when I get a new appliance, even on something basic as a flat iron.

[@NoDontLikeIt]

@@sunrae7680 running the water in the sink until it’s hot also decreases the time of your washing cycle. A lot of the time is dedicated to getting the water up to a hot enough temperature(this saves me about 30 minutes). And also, the hotter your water is, the better your dishes will heat dry, if you use that setting.

[@PaisleySzuSzu]

When my mom was in hospice she would go in and rearrange my set up of her dishes in her dishwasher as long as she could. When I would ask her she would laugh and ask "Don't you know how to load a dishwasher yet?" Turns out I was instinctually doing it right lol. Mom I plan to bring this up if I get to see you again when I pass. Love and smiles Brittany for helping me out here

[@vzeimen]

I always rearrange after my husband loads. I can get twice or three times as many dishes in if I do!

[@lisadeangelo244]

Same here! Mine is significantly challenged to load efficiently which I find very curious as he is a mechanical engineer

[@vzeimen]

@@lisadeangelo244 haha. So funny mine is a mechanical engineer as well! However he’s worked in management for most of his career so maybe that’s the problem lol

[@cm_mb]

@@lisadeangelo244 my husband is also a ME and he is forbidden to touch the dishwasher!🤨 He loves to overload the cutlery tray, places cups and glasses in the lower rack, because he doesn't take the time to properly load the top rack, and other nonsense. He said he wanted to help, but then he didn't want to wipe down the counters, because they looked clean!!🤦‍♀️ so now he's not allowed to load or unload (that's another story) the dishwasher.

[@Nyantastic2015]

[@rickslife]

🤔

[@Sk8tergirl1309]

In Italy we choose the long cycle (especially the "ECO" - ecological ones) because they use way less power compared to a quick wash! 😉 Also we never open the dishwasher when it has just finish the cycle because the steam ruins the kitchen furniture over time 😃

[@LOCA449]

And also the express cycle is not good for the dishwasher because the dishwasher doesn't have time to properly heat up, and do his magic. 😁

[@LemLTay]

Absolutely. The interdependent factors are roughly grouped into Time, Detergent, Water Usage, Power Consumption & Soiling. When one wishes to reduce Power Consumption alone, then the other factors need to go up. As detergent and water are costly too, and soiling cannot be reduced (unless one does pre-washing by hand which defeats the idea of convenience), the only factor left to increase is TIME. Lower temperatures, less water but a longer exposure to the spraying action does give good results while keeping the kWh consumption low.

[@tharshikaloganathan2257]

Yes totally. It will also ruin the dishwasher, its like you have to run 1h route in 30 minutes, Maschine is overloaded 😉

[@amina9229]

I found all these tips very useful. Thanks. My son came out with the bols placement method when he started doing the dishes: it works like a charm. Rinsing is only necessary when the food is crusty dry: so, I am schooling the kids to load their used dishes right away to avoid the drying stage..... Also inspecting and cleaning the side rubbers is a must, depending of the frequency of usage. And read the owner's manual: that will give you an 'Aha' moment. It's boring but a sure way to fully enjoy your appliance.

[@christinefuntas9051]

Always learn something new from you! Two things to share. When the tech installed my dishwasher, he told me that using a rinse aid (Finish) not only helps with spots, but will also dry your plastics. It works! (I notice it doesn't on the short cycle. Maybe not enough drying time?) Also, when unloading my dishwasher, I dump the two silverware baskets on the counter, sort, and put away, rather than making several trips back and forth to the dishwasher. Great sorting activity for little kids!

[@ma-dg3gh]

Just make sure you remind your little ones to wash their hands before handling the silverware.

My dishwasher is older, but the Cascade makes it work AMAZINGLY well. It was such a game changer just to change tabs, they really are the best. I’ve been doing a lot of these things in my own machine for a while (my Mom taught me well, she’d love you!), but I NEED to try the baking soda and vinegar. I already clean my drains with it, but it might do a better job on the icky, tricky screw-in filter that even Lemi Shine and Affresh can’t completely get clean. Excited to see the hand wash video to see how to properly tackle stains in wooden utensils and cutting boards, and burnt on food. I REALLY need that!!!

[@ALLGIRL62]

I recommend still rinsing the dishes. I had a new house and new appliances but the plumbing backed up when I stopped rinsing before loading.

[@valeriehykawy6061]

I have to agree. My mom & dad do the scraping and it seems like quite regularly Dad is taking apart the dishwasher to get it back to optimal working condition. My husband & I rinse and have had the the same dishwasher for 15 years and it’s never needed any work

My tip... with the utensil basket, I use each compartment for specific utensils. One end butter knives, then forks, spoons, baking stuff and then sharp knives. When I unload all I have to do is grab all the utensils in a section and put them in the drawer. Makes it super fast and efficient.

[@taradiane]

Re: the makeup brushes.....I would only do that if using the air dry cycle and not the heated dry cycle. The high heat can cause the glue that holds the top part of the brush onto the handle to lose its hold, causing a wobbly brush that will eventually become unstuck altogether. I'm not even sure I'd trust the hot water to not cause that, actually. I saw a tiktok a while back where a boyfriend did that 'hack' thinking he was being helpful, and all the brushes were ruined.

I know your Not supposed to put the pods in the liquid dispenser. We were told to throw it in there and it will get mixed in with all the water and clean way better. And also if your dishes are not drying you need to get Jet Dry!!!! Is will make a huge difference!! There is a special spot for it and make sure it stays full! It depends on how much you run your dishwasher but for us it’s every night and we refill the jet dry every 2-3 weeks.

[@shelliebean]

So agreed on the Jet Dry! Regarding the tabs - if you struggle with the tabs not releasing from the designated dispenser then you should definitely throw them into the bottom of the dishwasher instead. If your dishwasher doesn’t have trouble releasing them, they work completely fine being put in the dispenser. That’s my experience at least 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve tried both ways with super dirty dishes to test and there was no difference

[@maybememories925]

I’ve heard this as well. Strange!

[@harmony3395]

Thanks. Also glass gets scratched in the dishwasher over time so only wash the glasses you don’t mind replacing

[@cm_mb]

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense, because glass is not porous and doesn't absorb like paper or plastic. Maybe rinsing the glass before pouring the wine would assure that you don't have soap residue. Also, I would think (and hope🤞) the wine makers prewash the bottles before wine is placed, so how is that any different from washing the glasses?🤔

[@buddyholly4672]

Not too sure about this. Legally, commercial places have to use soap and crazy hot water and steam to sanitize dishes and glassware before use by customers. Detergent removes grime from building up and should rinse away with water. If you still taste detergent, should rinse longer.

@@ChixenLil not necessarily true. I fix appliances as a hobby and people who prerinse tend to have problems with detergent not dissolving completely and creating clogs. Not prerinsing is an issue only when low temp or short cycles are used, but you'd be surprised to know that some of the cleanest dishwashers I've seen were from people who do not rinse anything. If your dishwasher has filters, please remember to clean them twice a month

I heard that the normal wash is 3 hours to use less water. Hot short rinses alternating with long soaks.

[@thekat268]

I saw another video that pointed out by the end of that cycle you have cold water because it recycles the water. The rinse water might be new but it won't be hot going in just like your faucet water isn't hot immediately.

Super helpful 😊. I bought the amazon clean/dirty magnet. AMAZING ! Thank you for the towel tip and glad to know Express cycle is worthy. I almost always use Express. And also the raise top rack option. Very Appreciated your Video 😊

Yay!! Always love your cleaning tips and hacks!

If your dishwasher tab/soap pouch won't fit in the dispenser or gets stuck, just throw it on the bottom. It will dissolve & work just fine.

[@buddyholly4672]

You shouldn't do that with a newer dishwasher as they have a pre rinse cycle. You would end up washing a lot of your soap away before it even has time to be used on your dishes.

Weird, I work at whirlpool and this landed in my recommended lol. We make mostly 3 rack dishwashers now and the tines are even adjustable now.

Yes, I really like my new WP dishwasher racks. Really like the Cutlery tray on top. Had a electrolux before and the racks were awful, glasses had to be packed a certain way or they would slide all over.

All my appliances are Whirlpool. I've never had a problem with any whirlpool appliance. I'll only buy Whirlpool because it's made in America.

My mom’s trick with utensils is to load all the forks in one section, the spoons in one section, and all the knives in a section...then unloading doesn’t involve so much jumping around!

[@natalies5818]

Smart!

[@sodagamer3099]

Great idea!

[@CameraGirl011]

I do the same thing! 😊

[@julianarusso5073]

A dishwasher repair man once told me to run the water in the kitchen sink until it gets really hot right before starting the dishwasher. It saves the dishwasher from having to heat it up prior. I’ve always had really clean dishes since I’ve done this. 👍🏻 I also always put in my kitchen 🧽 sponge.

Usually learn a lot with your videos, but knew all of the hacks/tips of this one

Loved the skit at the end as always!!! My mom once saw a toilet brush in one of her old clients houses she use to clean talk about nasty
