Common Myths about Dishwasher Exploded

In India, hand washing dishes is considered sacred and housekeepers across the nation lovingly engage in this tedious task on a daily basis. Just like people consider bathing as an essential part of their daily routine, manual washing too fits the same profile. So it isn’t puzzling to understand why a modern age marvel like the dishwasher is looked upon which such skepticism. This skepticism garners false knowledge, which in turn results in the creation of ridiculous myths.

One of the most common myths stems from the fact that because it is a large kitchen appliance, it will probably make an average electricity bill skyrocket. This is absolutely false as the electricity in a dishwasher is used only to heat up the water, which is pumped and recycled around the machine. Also, since a dishwasher uses minimal water, the electricity needed to heat up the water is also negligible. Dishwashers heat up the water in a very efficient way by using a continuous flow heater which results in less heat loss than heating water in an electric geyser and transporting it to the sink. In addition, the appliance is insulated to avoid heat losses from the interior space.

Another common misconception is that a dishwasher uses colossal quantities of water, thus giving it the false label of being an environment hazard. The truth is that a dishwasher actually cleans and recycles small amounts of water to be ultra-efficient. It's been calculated that 10 litres of water has the equivalent cleaning effect of 4,000 litres, passing through the dishwashing machine. This unbelievable fact also makes it substantially clear that manual washed dishes results in unnecessary wastage of water.

The 3^rd myth about dishwashers revolves around the belief that it is too large an appliance, and that one may not have enough dishes to fill in it, thus resulting in inefficient usage. However, dishwashers come in a range of different sized models and not only in the standard 60 cm size. Additionally, all dishwashers also have the capability to run on both half load and full load capacities, and 30-minute cycles for smaller capacities. This ensures that one can find a dishwasher that suits the needs of every kind of household perfectly.

Dishwashing Simplified

The thought of operating machines makes a lot of people agitated, owing to their age-old reputation for being ‘complicated’. When it comes to a dish washer, the same perception creates an aversion to this modern day marvel. But then again, it is safe to say that a kitchen without a dishwasher is like a bedroom without a bed. With a few pointers in the right direction, any adult in your home will be capable of operating it with ease.

For starters, ensure to read the instruction manual before loading your utensils into the dishwasher. Also remember that dishes needn’t be hand washed before loading. All you need to do is scrape off any excess food residues to ease and simplify the process. This will avoid the filters from getting clogged and prevent food residue in the dishwasher. When you’re ready to load, always place the heavier and bulkier utensils on the lower rack and the smaller ones on the upper rack.

Once you’re ready to begin washing, ensure to use a superior quality detergent and read the instructions on the detergent pack. Then, add the right amount of rinse aid and special salts as per the requirement of the dish load or programme. Make sure your rinse aid chamber is full as it helps to prevent spots, smears, drop marks, cloudiness and ensures that you have clean, dry and shiny utensils.

As most of the states in India have hard water, you must add a special dishwashing salt like Finish in the salt chamber to help soften the water. Special salts also prevent lime scale deposits, which can severely damage your dishes and your dishwasher.

Moving on, you must make sure that the spray arms in the dishwasher rotate and spray water freely, so that the water may reach all your dishes equally. The spray arms tend to get blocked by large items such as big utensils and pan handles, so always give the spray arm a spin before pressing start.

Once the dishes are spic and span, there are some basic maintenance tips to keep in mind. You need to regularly remove food particles by cleaning out the filters inside your dishwasher.

After a few rounds of practice, you will realise how dishwashing overshadows the outdated hand washing routine to clean dishes. So treat your home to a dishwasher and add an everlasting sparkle to your life.
