The 2 Worst Dishwasher Mistakes You’re Probably Making

According to a researcher at Colorado College, there are two main mistakes almost everyone makes when using their dishwasher. Number one:The load should always be full. It is not efficient to run a dishwasher with only half a load in it.
Number two: There is no reason to use the drying cycle. It is much better for the dishes to be allowed to dry without the drying cycle. It is more efficient to allow them to air dry.

Key Takeaways:

• How we use our dishwashers can have significant environmental outcomes, according to a professor at the University of Colorado.
• Using our dishwashers when full is better for the environment, as we can maximize the use of heated water.
