Leaving dirty dishes in the dishwasher overnight? You might want to think twice… 😬 It’s a habit many of us have, but it comes with a consequence you probably haven’t considered 🫣👇

Ways to Keep Food from Sticking:
If you can’t run the dishwasher right away, rinse off food first.
Load the dishwasher correctly so water can reach all surfaces.
Use the appropriate cycle and detergent for very dirty dishes.
4. Declining Dishwasher Performance

Dishwashers work best when used properly and regularly. Leaving dishes with food in the machine for too long can harm its performance. Food particles can clog filters, jets, and spray arms, leading to poor cleaning.

Consistently leaving dirty dishes in the dishwasher can cause it to become less effective over time, resulting in more frequent repairs.

Ways to Maintain Dishwasher Performance:
Use the dishwasher regularly and don’t leave dishes overnight.
Clean the filters and spray arms often to prevent blockages.
Run a maintenance cycle with a cleaner to keep the dishwasher in top condition.
