According to dishwasher repair professionals, the primary reason you are having a problem with your dishwasher, or you fail to get ideal results from your unit, is because you are doing the wrong things. This means that to properly clean your dishes and keep your appliance in top shape, you must avoid doing the wrong things. Which are these things you should avoid doing? Here they are:

Don’t wash fine glasses in the dishwasher.

You shouldn’t do this because the delicate glasses can easily break from the rattling, and the dishwasher detergents can etch the glass, causing it to turn cloudy.

Instead of washing the glasses using the dishwasher, use your hands. Even when doing it, be ultra cautious that you don’t break them.

Don’t prewash the dishes.

Many people have the notion that they have to prewash their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher to thoroughly clean. While this might help if your dishes have been sitting out for a long time and your dishwasher isn’t powerful enough to remove the food pieces, you don’t need to prewash the dishes.

If you put the dishes in the dishwasher immediately after eating, prewashing is a waste of time, water, and energy, so don’t do it. The reason for this is because most modern dishwashers and detergents can easily handle crusty dishes and break down most solids, so you don’t need to help them do their work.

Some dishwashers have been found not to clean the dishes as well as they are supposed to when you prewash the dishes.

Some dishwashers have even damaged the dishes when you prewash them. When you put too clean dishes in the dishwasher, there is no food film on the surfaces for the detergents to adhere to. This forces the detergents to adhere to the surfaces of the dishes, which leads to them damaging their finish.

To make the work easy for the dishwasher, you can scrape off the dishes, but you shouldn’t wash them.

Don’t use too much dishwasher detergent than necessary

Detergents are packed with chemicals meant to attack dirt and grease. While these chemicals are great, they can sometimes wear down your metallic appliqués, ceramic glazes and etch your glassware, especially when you use too much of them.

To be safe, only use the recommended amount of detergent. If you aren’t sure about the right amount to use, check the manual. You can also contact the manufacturer representatives and ask about this.

When cleaning lighter loads and dishes that aren’t heavily soiled, don’t fill the dishwasher’s detergent cup to the brim.

Your choice of dishwasher detergent is vital. Remember that powdered detergents tend to leave the dishes cleaner than their liquid or tablet counterparts do, so you are better off going with them.

It’s not uncommon for the glassware to come out of the dishwasher spotty. When this happens, try using a rinse agent with your dishwasher detergent.

No two detergents are the same so if you aren’t satisfied with the results you get from one detergent, experiment with different detergents until you find the one that works the best for you.

To protect the environment, go for environmentally friendly detergents that contain less phosphate than the standard detergents.

Don’t overload your dishwasher.

As much as you want to save energy and water by loading your dishwasher with more dishes than normal, you shouldn’t, as it not only leads to some of the dishes failing to clean as well as they should, it can also lead to the dishwasher getting damaged.

To avoid this, you should load your appliance with just the right number of dishes.

For the best outcome, don’t just load the dishwasher—you need to load it properly. This calls for you to place glassware, cups, and bowls on the top rack.

For the dinner plates, load them towards the back of the bottom rack with each dish’s “food side” facing towards the center. Place the plates so that you have only one item between each pair of tines.

Appliance repair pros recommend you load big and tall items such as cookie sheets at the extreme edges of the bottom rack.
