MGR Appliance Repair: Tips for Properly Loading Your Dishwasher

Scrape Off Food Scraps

At MGR Appliance Inc, we know that proper loading of your dishwasher is crucial to getting sparkling clean dishes every time. Start by scraping off any leftover food scraps from your dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. This will help prevent clogs in the machine’s drainage system.

Place Larger Items on the Bottom Rack

Place larger items such as plates, bowls, and baking sheets on the bottom rack. Be sure to face them towards the center of the machine with their soiled side facing down for optimal cleaning.

Position Glasses and Cups on the Top Rack

Put glasses and cups between the tines of the top rack, upside down. This positioning ensures they are cleaned thoroughly and prevents water spots.

Load Silverware Correctly

When loading silverware, make sure to place them in the utensil basket with handles facing down. This ensures that the blades and surfaces are cleaned effectively.

Avoid Overcrowding

Avoid overcrowding the dishwasher. If you do, water and detergent may not reach all areas of the dishes, leaving them with leftover grime and reducing cleaning efficiency.

Use the Right Cycle and Detergent

Use the appropriate cycle and detergent for the type of dishes you are washing. Heavily soiled items may require a more intense cycle and detergent, while delicate items may need a gentler cycle and detergent.
