Experts agree, pre-rinsing makes them come out dirtier (lemmy.nz)

Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

Star wars Anakin and Padme meme, with a dishwasher poorly GIMPed onto Anakin's face. Dishwasher Anakin: Save water, no need to rinse your dishes first. Padme: And they will come out clean, right? Anakin dishwasher: ... Padme: And they will come out clean, right?

You mean detergent right?

Apologies for the youtube link but this guy fits in nicely with the lemmy crowd and made a 40min video about optimal use of dishwashers and detergent. He does promote a specific powder detergent... but its from a good company 👈👈😎 and backed with science.

"This guy"!? How dare you disrespect Alec like that! :P

If you're nerdy enough to be on Lemmy, you're likely nerdy enough to already be a fan of Technology Connections; just sayin'.

Hmmm I wonder who it could be.

On an unrelated note, down with blue Christmas lights.

Without double-checking your pedantry (or language barrier) via web search, isn't "detergent" a type of soap?

That is excellent question of semantics. I dont mean to argue semantics but rather clarify dish "soap" vs dish washer "detergent" as that could be the difference between a successful wash that doesn't leave residue vs any alternative result.
