I usually wash all in cold, but now I take them to the nice Chinese laundry place down the block one day and pick them up the next, all clean.

Some older plastic bowls and a salad spinner and some other odds and ends, plus some old plastic storage containers. I am not sure about the salad spinner, I will have to see if that is safe because it would cost a bit to replace. So far, all other things seem to be holding up in the dishwasher except one mug that RO made me when she was three. The dishwasher has stripped about half the color from it. I did secure a promise of a repaint AND another mug from her, so that is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting to see Tide pushing for no more "hot" nonsense. I can't recall using "hot" for wash in a decade or more. My mantra is "warm" for everything. No hot, no cold. Just load and go. With the dishwasher, I like to stick to "normal" stuff still. The had washing some stuff is still fine with me, but as the dishwasher approaches a full load, I do throw in a lot of other stuff that I would normally hand wash just to get it over the threshold to a full load.

MickinMD ★ Posted July 30, 2021 Share #14 Posted July 30, 2021 I've got a dishwasher for the first time in my life, though my habit is to hand wash everything still in the sink in the morning before breakfast to avoid becoming too lazy. I try to dirty only one of each dish, bowl, utensil, etc. before I clean it, so I never have a lot to clean unless I'm feeding guests. My sister was looking at the three big, heavy grates that run the length of my new gas range, similar to hers, and pointed out that a dishwasher is the perfect way to clean them. So the dishwasher will get at least semi-regular use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wastes too much energy anyway. Just let those dishes drip dry in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, top shelf items get "less" clean than bottom shelf items? Why is that? And isn't that a horrible design flaw and not a good one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
