This happens to most people, you happen to be an expert at something but family usually dismisses your expertise for the uneducated tales of any Joe in the street. What is more irritating is that when things go sideways they look your way to fix the problem they created by not listening to your advice because "you are the expert" or get blamed for allowing it to happen. The best thing to do is to pretend you're an idiot and let people solve their own problems, this is the only way they will learn (and some of them still don't). 🤷

I lived in houses and apartments with dishwashers for years, and what he's saying is spot-on, especially the part where he says NOT to rinse.

If items are pre-rinsed there can be that build-up of white film he talks about. What I didn't know is that in addition, items can be damaged by the detergent if they are pre-rinsed.

One of the problems with some modern dishwashers is that they have a sensor to tell if there is waste runoff. So if they're already clean, it doesn't run long enough to dissolve and rinse the detergent. Some people get around this by putting their detergent tablet into the silverware holder.

Another top tip: avoid pre-dosed tablets and use loose powder instead, especially if you get hazy glass. It goes much further if your pour a small amount into the pre wash bay (or just directly into the bottom of the dishwasher). As a bonus, you'll save about 40% on the cost of detergent.

Years ago, we got fed up with all the brands of American dishwasher detergents, due to persistent re-washings, too many various residues, including cloudiness, and just plain bad looking dishes. I tried a bag of Somat dishwasher detergent from Germany. The first use, when I opened the dishwasher door, I couldn't believe how sparkling and beautifully radiant the dishes and flatware looked, as well as the inside of our dishwasher looked brand-new. The Somat cost a lot more money but it's truly worth it. In all the years we've been using it now we've never had to re-wash even one load and the dishes etcetera continue to look great. Around the same time, we were fed up with laundry detergents too, and for the same reasons but including having to run extra rinses after the clothes washer had completed a full cycle. I tried German laundry detergents, and the difference was just as astounding as was with our dishes. I'm happy to pay the additional cost for the German products. They know clean, and they're not ripping off customers as do the American companies. Bar soap for bathing was next and I've found European bathing soaps to excellent, and from a number of countries, France, Italy, and Spain, have been most notable. So too, I found that smaller American soap making companies have excellent soaps unlike the big soap and detergent manufacturers in the USA. The products from the smaller soap makers can be found on the Swanson Vitamins web site. They have so many soaps on their web site it's amazing. Toothpastes too, as well as every version of Tom's Toothpaste. Note: I always buy bar soap for bathing as you get more product than with liquid soap.

Loading your cups so they're not on top of the tines is a great idea... except some of our coffee mugs are wide enough that they won't fit in the cup areas unless you fit them over the tines. I suppose the saving grace is that, because they are so wide, they end up very snug in the top rack so they don't have an opportunity to move around so the tines don't have the opportunity to scratch them as much. Honestly though, I feel like more dishwashers need to have flexibility built into the top and bottom racks to load non-standard-sized cups and dishes.

For the first time ever, my dinnerware takes up an obscene amount of room in the dishwasher because of how I have to angle them to fit -- and the dinner plates don't really fit at all. (This wasn't a problem in even the cheapest of apartments we rented.) With the quality of appliances these days, I'm hanging on to the dinnerware, safe in the knowledge that the new dishwasher will absolutely break in a couple of years.

Great tips! Only issue I have with mine is for deep bowls. I feel like those are just impossible to find a good way to load. Also I have a Miele and they actually suggested using just half a tablet with rinse aid. Ever since then my dishes come out spotless so very true about experimenting with other detergents and asking the manufacturer!

A few tips: Many dishwashers (especially older ones) do not heat the first rinse of water (pre-rinse, prior to detergent stage). It just comes straight from the hot water pipe. This often means that the water will be cold as it can take a minute or two to warm up, so run the hot water from your kitchen sink faucet until the water is hot before starting your dishwasher. This ensures the first initial rinse cleans is using hot water, and it cleans off more food before it suds up. Don't put kitchen knives, including steak knives, in the dish washer. The high water temperatures can mess with tempering of the steel causing the knife to not only lose it's edge, but also make it hard for it to keep one for long even after you sharpen it. I have an older dishwasher, and I find using higher quality detergent generally cleans my dishes better (no soap scum, clear glasses, gets off stuck-on food), but as most are in packet form and can't be split between the pre-wash and main-wash sections of the dispenser, I use very basic liquid dishwasher detergent in the "pre-wash" section to get the most bang during that stage of the wash cycle. A large jug can be bought for less than $5, and it lasts quite a while.

You will not do anything to the temper with a dishwasher that at most reaches 180 degrees F. That is such a common misconception and one that is actually ridiculous if you think about it. What you are saying is that you are getting the same temperatures in a dishwasher that you get in a forge or with a propane torch or a kiln (if you don’t know what those are that is part of the reason you do not understand this concept). You will not reach a high enough temperature in a dishwasher to “de-temper” your knives… Unless your knives are in the dishwasher and your house catches on fire and burns to the ground. Then yes, maybe. The damage that knives are susceptible to in a dishwasher is due to the dishwasher soap, banging against other items, rusting, and damaging the handles. Research first then post. Just some advice.

The reason sharp knives can lose their edge in a dishwasher is through abrasion. As the water jets agitate the cutlery, the movement may cause a knife's sharp edge to rub against other steel items thereby dulling the blade.

Sometimes it gets a piece of plastic in it or broccoli particles, etc and I have to take it out and wash it. Great video! Thank you for sharing.

I disagree with not rinsing them if you aren't going to run it soon after. It takes me a week to get a load so if I didn't rinse, a whole lot of dried food would still be on the dishes. If you have a big meal and run it right after though, sure.

Here are the 3 tips my diswasher repair technician gave me (I called him to replace the circuit board of the machine.): #1: NO RICE. (I think because of the starchness of rice will clog up the internal plumbing.) #2: Run the hot water in the sink until it runs hot before starting the washer, (You don't want the dishwasher's heater to have to heat the water up instead of your hot water heater.) #3. Don't use the detergent holder in the door. Pour the detergent on the bottom of the machine. I do this with powder but use the door holder for gel. I do all 3 & it's been working for me.

As a general rule. Do some experiment with your own dishwasher so you know where the jets will definitely spray and how close can certain items be. I have these large plastic lids. I found that the best way to clean them is to out smaller items in between the large lids. The reason is because when the water sprays it slaps the lids together. Just an example of the need to "get to know your own dishwasher"

the haze was likely 'etching' which is actually where the surface is slightly eaten into. If it was a haze, stores carry this CLR (calcium, lime, rust) removing stuff that should remove haze. Or that powder made for cleaning coffee pots (some kind of sodium carbonate type of chemical, not really caustic) should also remove haze. But it was probably etching, which is permanent.

@Monkey B you can use white vinegar instead of CLR to get rid of that film. I live in Nevada and we have very hard water and I use vinegar to get rid of calcium build up and the haze on any glassware. I was using CLR on my bathroom shower and noticed when I sprayed it I had trouble breathing. I switched to spraying on vinegar and using baking soda as an abrasive and a little Dawn soap. It works wonderfully. Also, you should run the dishwasher ever so often with a cup of vinegar to clean, deodorize, and remove calcium build up.

Great tips, but I do have an alternative opinion on the silverware: I *always* place the silverware "top side up" into the basket so that gravity will pull the rinse water downwards to the handle. Rinsing water still contains some detergent from the rinse aid and you don't want that puddling up and dry out on the end of the silverware that you stick into your mouth. To prevent spoons from spooning, I make sure that I only put a single spoon into each of the basket's compartment - or just use the separation cover that most baskets now come with for that purpose.

@zagrizena

I do it the same way, just seems cleaner somehow, though I've never really thought about this. To prevent spooning I usually mix different utensils in one drawer, or deliberately place them facing away from ea h other or in the opposite corners of the drawer. Takes a few more moments than just piling them in but they virtually never end up dirty after a wash.

Number one tip should be: use soap in both wash and prewash cycles. If you use a pod, put it in the main wash cycle and put some powder or gel in the prewash cycle - the cheapest will do.
