People don’t always know how to use the appliance effectively or get the most out of it. Habits that made sense years ago may not today. One common habit is rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
Both consumer organizations and users highlight that there is no need for manual pre-washing before loading the machine.
Some people feel safer rinsing to avoid stains, but rinsing before loading actually reduces efficiency and wastes water. Dishwashers operate at high temperatures to ensure dishes come out clean at the end of the cycle, according to insights from Finish and other expert sources.
Rinsing before the wash creates two problems: it wastes water and energy, and if dishes are already fairly clean, enzyme detergents won’t work as effectively. Washing dishes before loading means the dishwasher cannot reach its full potential.
Many modern models include sensors that estimate the water needed at the start of the cycle. If pre-rinsing occurs, the reading may be inaccurate and dishes may not come out perfectly clean.
Here is a simple tip: remove food debris with a napkin before loading. Modern dishwashers are designed to handle a wide range of soils. They not only save energy and electricity, but also improve water efficiency and environmental impact.

So how should plates be placed?
Water from the spray arm must be directed toward the area where food residues are located. Place plates on the bottom rack facing inward. Avoid crowding. Deep plates belong on the widest shelves, while flat plates fit on the narrower ones.
