Dishwasher EXPERTS Agree: For Best Results, DO NOT Pre-Rinse

Dishwasher and dishwasher detergent manufacturers agree--rinsing your dishes before loading them into the dishwasher is NOT recommended! If you feel like your dishes aren't getting cleaned even when following this information, make sure you're:

1. Pre-heating the water at your sink before running the dishwasher.

2. Loading the dishwasher correctly according to your manual (especially making sure you're not blocking the spray arms or detergent dispenser!).

3. Using a good quality dishwasher detergent (yes, it can make a difference!).

4. Keeping your dishwasher clean (refer to your manual, but this usually means cleaning the filter and running a dishwasher cleaner through at least once a month).

If you're doing all that and your dishes STILL aren't getting cleaned, that's when it's time to call an appliance repair tech!
