Most Common Mistakes When Using the Dishwasher
Have you ever taken the dishes out of your dishwasher and they are still dirty? This is a very common thing, but here are some tips for your dishes to come out clean.
Close the lid
Do not leave the lid of the soap open before starting the washing cycle, since if you do not close it, the soap goes directly to the pipe and not to the dishes. If you cannot close it, chances are you have put in too much detergent, so we recommend you to check the user manual to determine the amount needed.
The amount of soap
Adding extra dishwashing detergent can be a tempting idea, but you should avoid it at all costs. The extra soap will not leave them cleaner, and the most likely case is that you end up with plates covered with a layer of soap. It is better to change detergent than to put in more.
Brush the dishes
Pay no attention to those commercials that promise you that the chicken pie dish will come out clean without giving it a good brush. It is always recommended to brush the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher
Hard water and lime deposits
We recommend protecting the integrity of your dishwasher by placing one or two teaspoons of Borax or baking soda in your detergent once a month.
Do not put too many dishes
If you put too many dishes and they do not fit well, you can cause them not to wash well and they can even break. Place them with enough space so that they do not touch.
Use dishwasher detergent
Only use special dishwasher soap, as regular liquid soap will cause too much foam.
The heaviest on the bottom
Pots and pans should always go in the bottom rack, as it is the toughest and is closest to the water jets.
