Fabulous Find: Dishwasher Cleaning Tips

I got a new dishwasher last week from Sears (praise Jesus) and there was a packet with coupons, samples, etc. in the box. One set of coupons was from Electrasol, attached to the coupons were these tips that you may find helpful, and I quote:

Run your kitchen's hot-water tap before starting the dishwasher to make sure the first water fill in your machine is hot.

Generally, larger and dirtier items are best on the bottom rack. Cups, glasses, and less soiled items should be put on the top rack.

Position your dishes and utensils with the heavily soiled side facing the source of the water spray.

Put your flatware in the special flatware basket and use the silverware separtors (if available) to avoid nestling your items so that water can rinse all surfaces.

Enjoying my new dishwasher blessing,
