Do you put everything in the dishwasher?

Question

I have a dishwasher but still do a fair bit of washing up by hand - pots and pans, awkwardly shaped things, wooden things, things that state they not suitable for the dishwasher ....... do you put absolutely everything in the dishwasher or do you wash up by hand as well?

Answer 1

well as minging as i sound yeah i put EVERYTHING in my dishwasher!!! its my favorate piece of kit, i always said i wouldnt have one but then i house sat for a mate and fell in love with hers! i told hubby i wouldnt come home unless he brought me one, he had to take out half my kitchen to do it but i love it, you never have to see a dirty cup in your kitchen. the only thing i hand wash is my good glasses, we only use them at christmas so no big deal, i say go for it, you dont have a dog and bark yourself. i even put the soap powder drawer from my washing machine in it when im running a cleaning cycle with one of them little bottles of finnish

Answer 2

Everything goes in. I don't have anything that isn't suitable for the dishwasher! If it has been a paticulary busy day and we have lots of dishes I fill it then put the rest in the sink for the next load.

Had a dishwasher for 8 months and haven't washed a thing by hand since then.

Answer 3

Yes you can put everything in the dishwasher except fine china this you must not put in a dishwasher it is sensitive to the detergents. I hand wash things I am in a rush for or have no room for Good Luck !

Answer 4

I put everything in apart from really delicate glasses. I put wooden utensils in - it doesn't damage them just takes the colour out of them
I never wanted a dishwasher in the first place but it was my husband's answer after I asked him if he would do the washing up every night as I always cook. Needless to say he has no idea how to load or unload and I hate doing it as much as the actual washing up!

Answer 5

Yes, I put absolutely everything in my dishwasher. Including my friends, the stapler, the rainbow outside, my favourite books, the telephone and beer. Everything nice and clean now.
Sorry about that, couldn't help myself... Basically we only put cutlery, plates, bowls and glasses in ours. Not pots and pans or wooden things or stuff like that. We wash up by hand too.

Answer 6

Yes, of course, especially if the instructions state not suitable for the dishwasher. And I know of no dishwasher that will really clean pots and pans properly - do you?

Answer 7

you cant put everything in the dishwasher or you would ruin some things. you could buy a lot of tv dinners for the microwave. i do Worth 3 kids we eat a lot of cereal and waffles and use a lot of silverware. i usually can wait all day before having a load of dishes and sometimes only have to wash about 2-4 things, not to bad if you ask me

Answer 8

Spending over an hour an afternoon is exceptionally obsessive just to place one load in. that's stable prepare to a minimum of rinse off your dishes in the previous loading them interior the dishwasher yet it relatively is approximately all you need to do. in case you particularly need to place this to the try why do no longer you no longer wash the dishes in the previous loading them up and then run the dishwasher the subsequent time and notice for yourselves despite if or no longer it relatively works a similar.

Answer 9

I put everything and I do mean absolutely everything in mine!
Pots, pans, crockery,cutlery, wooden spoons!
Even vases and trays!
There is very little these days that won't go in there!
My daughter rinses everything first - but I don't!
I only clean things by hand if there is food badly baked/stuck on!
But my dishwasher copes very well with most things - after all that is what it is for!!!

Answer 10

we still have to wash up our saucepans as they will get ruined in the dishwasher, but put them in now and again. You can't put wooden things in the dishwasher and I've also got some mugs we don't put in as they are handpainted and don't want them to fade.
