I err on the side of thoroughness, but I use so much more time & water than others I see. I think I’m doing a better job… does it matter?

I want to watch an in-depth video of the minimum required washing. If you know or are a science educator (microbiologist? Epidemiologist?), maybe you can help :D

I was right about dishwasher pods, and now I can prove it — Technology Connections (Nov 4, 2025), ~2.6M views

Now I wanna become the hand dishwashing expert!

    Wow, that was a long, informative watch. Kinda wish they had a tldr;

    My take:

    • Run water until it's hot prior to starting dishwasher
    • Powder is probably intentionally 'nerfed' at the store to sell pods
    • Pods didn't necessarily outperform powder

    Unfortunately, the product that they came up with is probably more expensive than my Costco pods. But at least I learned stuff.

    The Costco pods are like magic and they're so cheap. They changed my life (literally, I save many minutes every day and my mental health is better. I hate dirty dishes so much. I don't even rinse before loading my dishwasher now. )
