Dishwashers have become an important part of the everyday kitchen. They are the standard for new homes and can easily be installed in older kitchens. These appliances make kitchen cleanup simple and more efficient. The best part is that with some simple upkeep and handling this appliance can last a lifetime with minimal repair. There are a few things that you can do to ensure that your new dishwasher lasts for as long as possible and works as well as it did the day you bought it.
Prevent clogging your dishwasher’s filter by scraping excess food off and pre-rinsing your dishes. This will remove any excess chunks of food that would get stuck in the filter during the washing cycle. This will also help reduce food residue on your dishes and will make them easier to clean. You should pre-rinse your dishes if you aren’t going to wash them in the dishwasher right away. This will keep food from becoming dry and stuck to them. Pre-rinsing if you are going to wash them right away is a personal decision. But, it is recommended as part of your cleanup routine.
A routine is necessary for easy kitchen clean up. This will keep your kitchen looking great and will ensure that you have everything that you need the next time you are preparing food. A routine should be a personal choice and it should fit your schedule. Whether you load the dishwasher at night and start a right then or in the morning before you leave for work, this is really up to you. But you should decide on a course of action and stick to it.
Part of your routine should include how you load the dishwasher. There are certain ways to load the dishwasher that will ensure optimal cleaning. For one, don’t block the soap and water dispenser and don’t overload your dishwasher. Too many dishes mean they might end up still dirty in parts. It is best to load your plates and pans on the bottom rack. Put your glasses and bowls on the top. Load any utensils in the specified container and lay larger spoons alongside your glasses. Also, there are some dishes that shouldn’t be put into your dishwasher. These include but are not limited to insulated mugs, good knives, cast iron pots and pans, and fancy crystal. It is safer to wash these items by hand.
If you treat your dishwasher as it is supposed to be used and you follow these simple steps than you will have a quality working appliance for a very long time. This will also save you money by reducing the cost of repairs. A dishwasher can also help you save water because when used properly it is much more energy efficient. That is why it is important to consult with an appliance repair expert if you intend buying a new one.
