The art of dishwasher loading: An expert's very timely tips

As someone who, or so I'm told by my wife, has limited capabilities regarding loading our dishwasher, I feel sure that I'll be able to learn something with the help of Appliance experts, Hisense, who have teamed up with professional home organiser, Nicola Lewis, to help the nation to get the most out of our home appliances.

Dishwashers are a kitchen essential for many. For example, people with rheumatoid arthritis find a dishwasher if not a lifesaver, then certainly a crockery saver. 

Using one can save you time and doesn’t cost a ton of money to run if you use it correctly and efficiently. But do you really know how to get the most out of your dishwasher and to use it correctly?

Leading electricals manufacturer, Hisense, has teamed up with professional home organiser, Nicola Lewis, from @thisgirlcanorganise, to share some revolutionary home hacks to get the most out of this handy home appliance and keep time spent cleaning to a minimum.

From achieving spotless dishes to saving on resources, you can maximise a dishwasher’s performance and longevity using these simple tips from Hisense and Nicola.

Do’s

Do add a scrunched piece of silver foil into your cutlery basket before turning on the dishwasher. This will help brighten up your cutlery and glassware and give a sparkling result when the wash is done.

Do add a small bowl of white vinegar as an alternative to rinse aid in your cycle. You can also use it to clean your machine and neutralise odours on an empty cycle.

Do tilt your plates backwards and stack them facing towards the centre on the bottom tray of the dishwasher. This allows the spray arm to access the dirty side of the plate easily and will clean everything thoroughly.

Do group your cutlery together when adding it into the basket for cleaning within the dishwasher (i.e. dessert spoons together, forks together). This will help you save time when it comes to unstacking your clean cutlery so you can put them away in your cutlery drawer without having to sort through the stack.

Do add your mugs, glasses, and bowls on the top tray of the dishwasher, where they can nestle side by side more easily. This will utilise the space on the top tray, whilst leaving plenty of room for the bigger dishes that need to be cleaned on the bottom tray.

Don’ts

Don’t add any sharp knife sets or other wooden utensils in the dishwasher as the salt and water pressure may damage the coating of them.

Don’t lay glasses over any of the prongs on the trays of the dishwasher as this could risk smashing within the machine.

Don’t lay larger glasses down along the trays. Instead, many dishwashers (like the Hisense HV673C60UK) allow you to adjust the tray level in the dishwasher to allow the glasses to stand when placed upright at an angle in the tray to reduce the risk of smashing.

Don’t place knives upright in your cutlery basket on the bottom tray of the dishwasher. Make sure that the blades are faced down for safety reasons when continuing to stack or when unstacking the dishwasher.
