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After a few rounds of practice, you will realise how dishwashing overshadows the outdated hand washing routine to clean dishes.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.
