- Take a look at our dishwashers here: factorybuilderstores.com/dish...
It’s the subject of many debates at home - just how do you load a dishwasher properly? In this edition of the Laura Report we will review how to properly load your dishwasher and provide you with some other tips so you get the most out of your dishwasher.
*PS: This video was shot in one of our Houston Showrooms
Don't feel bad needing to watch this, I'm 30 & never owned a dishwasher before so I'm here too lol.
Xela Redna same! 33 and have always owned a dishwasher but never knew how to use them. Every time I moved to a new place I would try it and the dishes would come out horrible. Bought a kitchen aid dishwasher and I don’t think I’m ever going back to hand washing. I love it. Now I see why people use these things.
Don't worry. I am watching this video on my 32nd birthday!
I never had a dishwasher
I’m 29 and today is my first time using one. Lol.
Haha! Well, if you need one and live in Texas, come to one of our stores!
IMPORTANT: 1. Once loaded, TWIRL THE WASHING ARM above your lower rack dishes to make sure it has free movement in a complete circle. If a dish or implement is sticking up, it can block the movement of the washing arm and your dishes will not be evenly clean. 2. ALSO: Turn on your sink's HOT WATER and let it run until it is very hot BEFORE you start your dishwasher. Otherwise, your dishes will be washed in cold water, unless your dishwasher has a built-in water heating feature. 3. Use only an ounce or two of dishwasher soap in filler compartment
top and under its trap door. Too much soap will overload your dishwasher and bog it down, often causing complete breakdowns. 4. Wash the fine mesh filter(located in bottom of washer tub) frequently. These tips were given to me by a very honest dishwasher repair man. Since I've been using these tips, I have had no dishwasher trouble for years, and my dishes and utensils are always perfectly clean.
Excellent point. If my wife only knew this.. and how to put toilet paper on the right way so it falls forward.
@@mrdev5281 1. Don't load any tall items near the silverware baskets since they will block the water to wash the flatware. 2. Always bring the hot water to the dishwasher first by turning the sink faucet to full hot running water until it is as hot as possible. 3. Don't put nearly as much soap in the dishwasher as indicated. Only a table spoon is needed for
first cycle and a table spoon for the second cycle. Putting the normal amount of soap in will eventually clog the filter. This does two things: It makes you call a repairman for $100, and it sells more dishwasher soap.
4. One of the main advantages of putting the toilet paper on the spindle so the paper feeds from the top of the roll, not the bottom, is the fact that you can always find the end of the paper, and fold it back a bit for the next use. This allows you to easily grab toilet paper when you stumble into the bathroom out of a sound sleep to perform those nightly pee missions, when you are still mostly asleep, and your eyes are squinting in a blur. During this global pandemic, every roll of toilet paper needs to be set up in the most accessible way.
Or enjoy the thumping sound while the arm spins. 😁
@@jennifer86010Doesn't it heat water itself?
@@vrnvorona Some dishwashers do and others do not heat incoming water. It is always best to run the hot water in your sink until it is at its hottest, then turn the dishwasher on while the sink hot water is still running. Once the dishwasher has accessed the hot water (you can hear it filling in the dishwasher) you can turn off the sink hot water. This ensures hot water will clean your dishes.
God bless the people who upload useful videos like this for us uneducated fools who never had a clue!!
videos like this are for people zero common sense...
Best dishwasher instructions I have ever found. Excellent job young lady!
I must admit that I never thought I’d be looking for a video on loading dish washers but this one proved to be very useful. I’ve been having problems lately and I see now that it could be my detergent!!!! It doesn’t dissolve well and my dishes weren’t coming super clean, and now I realize it must be it, as it is an old box I was glad to find in my laundry room and spared me an unnecessary trip during this pandemic. Many thanks for the tip!
no, you have hard water, get a water softener....
@@davidm7824 i like my water like i like my men, soft and wet.
“To avoid overcrowding you can handwash few items”
No thanks. It will wait second load.
Lmfao same.
@@caseyelizabethley6049 Na, I just over load. If the dish is still dirty, it stays in for round two.
😂
@Steven Strain Penultimate means "second to last in a series"... so maybe just use the ultimate cycle?
@@cmh2111 Me too haha
This was VERY helpful. I've been placing dishes in where I can find a spot and decided to take a minute to learn how to properly use my dishwasher.
This was a great video. Thanks for the great advice! My first house and first dishwasher at age 50... I really had no clue how to load it.
Don't you miss the simple days of hand-washing ...
Me also
And you still have no clue after watching this. Hopefully, your dishes won't disintegrate if you fail to follow her advice and don't leave a bit of food debris on them.
R T : Y U mad bro?
@@ginger-bread_man , the remark she made (0:40) that if you prewash (rinse) dishes that the soap has nothing to eat and will eat up your dishes causing them all sorts of harm. That is a really dumb statement, incredibly dumb. The soap gods must be appeased with food particles or will attack your dishes prematurely wearing them out and possibly even crack them? Get real!
If that's the case, either she's washing paper plates, whatever she's using as soap is extremely dangerous or she's high.
She also says use only "fresh" detergent? Duh, what happens if it's more than a month old? it's in sealed packets and a solid or a dense liquid. It doesn't magically go poof if it's a month old. Now, if it's like 20 years plus years old, maybe.
How can you not laugh when she's making a video about how to properly use a dishwasher and recommends hand washing some dishes. I mean, that's the point of having a dishwasher: TO NOT HAVE TO HAND WASH DISHES. Sure, delicate stuff.
Another video she shows us how to clean an ice maker. Use only "approved" special ice maker cleaner for the job. What do you want to bet that "approved" special ice maker cleaner is just vinegar and water sold for an astronomical price?
The real kicker of this video is saying don't pre rinse the dishes or the soap will know and ruin your dishes. If that thing runs for three hours, it doesn't matter whether or not you rinsed the dishes or not. That soaps in there. If you don't prewash your dishes and have big particles on them, you get the pleasure of cleaning out a catch all basket way in the bottom.
I wouldn't have even commented anything about her videos if she didn't try to snow ball people with that selective dish washer soap story.
My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!
turns out I been using my dishwasher the wrong way for years, incredibly useful video, cant thank you enough!
Seems I need to be a rocket scientist to use my dishwasher
Can't wait to share this. We've had dishwasher loading wars forever :) We always rinse our dishes to avoid food collecting in the machine ... seemed reasonable. Who knew - we've been schooled :) Thanks for this informative video!
That is absolutely the dumbest idea I've heard. Your food is used to scrub your dishes? Get real. Then it goes down the drain where there
is supposed to be a grinder that pulverizes them so that they don't stop up the drain. Good luck with that. Finally, after the dishes have gone
through all of the cycles and are dry and ready to put up. Smell the inside of the glasses. That smell is last nights dinner.
@@billcherry5852 Are you replying to a deleted comment? Or did the person edit your comment? As on its own your comment is confusing.
The comment Kim A. made was how they've been "schooled" because the video says you don't need to rinse your dishes while they always rinse their dishes. Implying they now know that they don't need to do it.
Bill Cherry disagrees with that and is stating all the reasons you should still rinse your dishes off, which I agree with. Unless you have a really good dishwasher it's not going to work all that well. Even if you have a really good dishwasher you will end up having to clean the food trap pretty regularly and doing a clean cycle just to make sure it's all clean after that. On top of that your drain pipe will eventually need to be cleaned because of all the food going through it
I totally disagree with not soaking food stuffs off as well.
I have never had to clean the jets in the sprayers for years.
Moved in with a friend who vehemently disagreed and I ended up removing and cleaning the openings in the sprayer arms EVERY TWO WEEKS!
I actually learned stuff. Thanks Laura. My husband wins on the "no need to rinse it in advance" point.
That's a hard habit to break for sure!
T hanks Laura! This helped me a lot with my NEW Whirlpool dishwasher I just got installed! And by the way it looks great in y beautiful kitchen...matches my fridge so well...Love it's look!
This was an excellent video. Thank you. New to owning a dishwasher.
Yeah, yeah, but how do you cook on that stove top without your pans falling to the floor?
Not true. That is obviously in her house. She just has a really, really big kitchen.
Lol!!!!
@@joelandjenniferdolphin2756 and she aslo has "EXIT" sign in her house...
SMH !!!!! Look closely . she's in a store !!!!!!!
I scrolled down to the comments for an answer to that very question
Laura, you’re a national treasure!
cant help but love to see someone living their dream job
LMAO, that's good!
Wow, I've been doing it right all these years! Thanks!!! 🌷
Truly informative. Now to train the family members. Great Job with this video.
Wow, this was really, really helpful. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thanks Laura! I learned a lot. Now it's time to put it to the test.
I just had a visit with the dishwasher wizard! Thanks for all the insights!
We haven't seen the DW Wizard in AGES! How is he doing? Tell him hi for us :) (And you're very welcome)
"I know its tempting to put your cups on the bottom rack when the top is full, but you must resist" - Laura
"To resist is futile" - The Borg
I was able to put 7 of my 9 cups up top. I had to assimilate the other two on the bottom with the other dishes ;) Resistance IS futile
I bought a very large multi-pack of Miele tabs when I purchased my DW 5 years ago. And I break the tabs in half for each load so I just finished using them. They worked just fine.
Soap going bad is the dumbest shit I heard all year, and it's November.
@@evilmarc At first thought it may seem silly to think of soap possibly going bad. If it's sealed in something it will be perfectly fine for several lifetimes, but if not sealed and air tight(which some resealable bags they come in aren't all that great at times), soap can get mold growing on it. There are reports of dish pods going bad when they get brown spots showing in them. Same thing can happen to bar soap after a long while. And i mean a very long time.
Dish powder may not grow mold because it's so dry, but it does expire after a year or two, which would cause diminishing results in it's cleaning performance.
I think the soap comment was helpful. It's just another step to the troubleshooting if people are having trouble with their dishwashers.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial.
Love this! now the disputes can end!
thank you very much for all of this great advice
Although, I know most of the loading techniques, I’d did not know about the alternating of the utensils. Makes perfect sense. Thanks!
As far as putting dishes with food still on them in the dishwasher...Many years ago, a Plumber advised me that the worse thing to put in the disposer is FOOD. The disposer is meant for tiny bits of food and not large table scraps. For instance, if one puts a potato in the disposer, the disposer will chop it up but your pipes then have an entire potato in them. Over time, this will clog the pipes with FOOD. Dishwasher outputs normally do not even go through the disposer side. Therefore, a lot of food particles will eventually clog the pipes. I know there are filters in the dishwashers. They do block a lot of larger items from going in the pipes but a lot of those food particles break up and go through the filters anyway. All this to say - it is best to scrape the large items off the plates into the garbage. Some stains always need to be rinsed off. Dried egg yolks are not cleaned in the dishwasher. LOL.
THAT IS RIDICULOUS! IN A DISPOSER THAT IS ATTACHED TO A SEWER SYSTEM, ANYTHING GOES INTO DISPOSAL!
, EXCEPT BONES, AND VERY FIBROUS ITEMS, LIKE CORN COBS, LARGE GRAPEFRUIT SKINS, ANYTHING PLASTIC, ETC.
IF YOU HAVE NO SEWER SYSTEM BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA, YOU ARE ADVISED NOT TO USE DISPOSAL EXCEPT FOR MINUTE PIECES OF FOOD THAT MIGHT BE LEFT ON A PLATE!
I EVEN TEAR ORANGE AND GRAPEFRUIT PEELS INTO PIECES, AND BANANA SKINS AS WELL.
SO YOU CAN PUT ANY FOOD THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN OR TORN INTO SMALL PIECES INTO YOUR
DISPOSAL! IF NOT, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE BEST DEVICE FOR DISPOSAL IN YOUR KITCHEN!
Speaking of “eggs” not being able to be removed, check this video out especially towards the end. ua-cam.com/video/9F1c1pxvicw/v-deo.html so maybe your machine was made in the 90s but nowadays things do get cleaned 🧼 up.
Dried egg comes off fine without rinsing, for me no problem
Potatoes, specifically skins are bad to run through the disposal. I don't think it has to do with large particles but what happens to the particles when chopped up and mixed with water. Potatoes are extremely starchy and will form a glue that will clog your pipes. My wife did this and I had to take apart the drain and clear the mess once.
Such a good video. Learned everything in one go.
Thank you for the kind feedback!
I never knew any of these things! Thank you for the explanation.
Yeah! We love hearing that :)
I'm turning 33 and I've NEVER used or seen (in person) a dishwasher. I'm planning to get one and I had no idea it's better not to pre-rinse the dishes. Such a great and helpful video for someone who is so intimidated by the machine
It took me a while to realize this was a showroom... Like what sort of psychopath fries stuff at that angle... 😅
I noticed there was a spatula with a wooden handle on the top rack then she says never put wood in a dish washer haha
Thanks, Laura. Now I've just got to persuade my wife to watch this :-)
Lol
Excellent video...thank you
Thank you Laura! I was at a loss to why my dishwasher was not working! WOW!
Yeah! So happy to help!
This was great - I shared it with my son. I found out I was doing a lot of things right, which may have prolonged the life of my dishwasher.
I need the older model
this was better than i thought it would be!
Good tips. thank you!
Thank you - certainly learned many things!
I don't even own a dishwasher.
But I enjoyed every minute of that.
One thing to keep in mind is in between using your dishwasher, keep the door well sealed. otherwise, bugs will be attracted to your dirty dishes. The electronics in my last dishwasher shorted out due to bugs that had gotten in. My house is clean but I do live in Florida!
SOO helpful! Thank you!
You are very welcome!
A very well presented video
We have just bought our first ever dishwasher (to give me a break😊)and found some great tips here
Regards from The UK
I learnt more from this video than 3 years of university
Thanks know all my dishes are clean 👍😊😁I always have a ☀️ day
Great demo video
Great video!
Good information!
Great video clip!
I never rinse my dishes and it works wayyyy better!
Which brand and model do you use??? And for how long have you been using it?
All helpful info, thanks 😊
I worked a restaurant. I started in the dish pit. I was told to always have the silverware handles down. This was to have the water drain away from the eating end. I was also told to mixed the types up to stop them from "spooning".
from what?!! Don't leave us on a cliff hanger! That's wrong!
@@FBSKitchen This was a great video. Nothing was wrong. I Don't think I left you on a cliff hanger. I thought it was funny saying to mix up the silverware to stop them from Spooning. And that's how I left it. Keep up the good work.
@@davedavies6518 oh my gosh Dave, I think I totally missed the last sentence yesterday so I thought your comment ended with, "I was also told to mixed the types up to stop___" and I needed to know "to stop what?!"" :)
@@FBSKitchen LOL. Keep up on the good videos, and don't forget to....
; - )
@@davedavies6518 I think she's looking for you to show her what spooning means, Dave ;-)
SUUUUUPER helpful!
It’s amazing how much I didn’t know about dishwashers.
It’s amazing how much she has made stuff up too.
This was such an informative video... 95% sure I’ll still be loading my dishwasher the wrong way just to avoid “washing the rest by hand” but I shall keep this in mind
Learned a lot, not rinsing was the biggest supprise! Also I was surprised she didn't mention running hot water before turning on the dishwasher 🙄
I didn't think I would learn anything from this video. They should teach this in school
thank you for the info good vid
Great for carburetors and intake manifolds, too.
Cleaning carbs, manifolds and exhaust manifolds without first properly setting the sandblast feature is never a good idea.
True story, my stepbrother burned his house down washing his carburetor with gasoline, the pilot light from the gas stove ignited the gas fumes.
I gave you a thumbs up, but I will say that dish washer repair guys say over and over that most of the problems they see are from food debris. A quick rinse off will say problems in the long run.
Great video
I copy my mother and rinse the dishes pror to staking mum's machine. This not only saves money as we use half the powder, limits the residue on the dishes and limits the amount of residue blocking the machine from working. GOOD TIP!
Good tips!
Dang some good tips. Thx
holy shit thank you, i have to load the dishwasher tonight for the family and i Googled it .. and now i'll be OK, will update
And, did you manage to load it?
@@DVHSJ Yep, everything turned out OK! :)
YEAH!! We're so happy we could help :)
Thanks this is very helpful
Very much useful
I'd like some comparisons on using the upper utensils tray vs. the basket. Our new Bosch has one.
We're working on a comparison series- check back later in the year, b/c that will definitely be something we cover!
Wow. I didn’t know detergent could go bad after only 2 months.
Thanks Laura
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful 🤩
Super helpful
Yeah! We love hearing that!
thanks very helpful
Thank you!
I pre-rinse, oh the shame!!!!
ya I always wash pot and pans and skillets by hand........unless it’s a small pot. I’m not going to leave pots or anything else in the sink for the next load. I like a clean kitchen. Plus.......I’m not lazy!
nicely done. ty.
Good JOB
I enjoyed watching this video - I don't even own a dishwasher!
I'm not stopping scrubbing my clean before putting them in. So what do you use instead of detergent?
I got lost sorry so much beauty!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
💀
How would you load valve covers?
very useful
My mum needs to see this video 😂
Let us know what she thinks after she watches it!
Came here for the laughs.
But leaving with a note of, aluminum doesn’t like dishwashers either
Nice I have a dishwasher teaching me how to use a dishwasher
Thank you.
*Aww, I could've watched this **_BEFORE_** my sister broke our dishwasher... (twice)*
Thank you❤
Thanks to CoDVi I’m here watching this videos my mom forced me 😭 I put it the wrong soap 🥺
Fati Mex 😂😂😂😂
CoDVi?
The Immortal Sun-kun aye CoVid ok !
I was making me daughter watch this . Too funny.
Thanks toots!
Thanks, very informative, plus I now have a reason not to pre-rinse, which is a pet peeve of mine.
Searched for this video because I'm tired of explaining how to load a dishwasher to my niece and nephew 😂 maybe if they learn it on UA-cam, they'll actually pay attention
Should i use finish salt and crystale tablet at the same time?
Good shit...
