Dishwashers are a significant investment, especially if you’re looking at high-end kitchen appliances. Fortunately, you can enhance your dishwasher’s performance with a few simple tips. When you fill your dishwasher, make sure not to pack items in too tightly. Place some of your spoons and forks handles up and place others with handles down. If you need to do two loads, keep your dirtiest items together. This way, you can run a shorter cycle for your less-messy load and save on energy bills.
