Doing this limits the dishwasher’s performance and wastes a precious resource: water. Simply scrape the dishes clean—without rinsing them—before placing them in the dishwasher. Instead of pre-rinsing, you can remove food residue from your dishes using a spoon or a paper towel. This simple solution prevents food scraps from clogging the appliance. Some high-performance models are capable of removing even the most stubborn stains. It is also recommended to use the correct amount of detergent to avoid overloading the appliance, and to use a descaling agent. This allows you to add the appropriate amount of salt based on the hardness of your water. For this reason, it is important to know your water’s hardness level. You can find this information on your water bill.
