Every dishwasher owner should know: what cannot be washed, how to get rid of plaque, why add baking soda
The device is not only useful. A dishwasher helps to save time, and this is the most invaluable thing a person has. Most of them now have such a car. This is no longer a luxury item, but a necessity. Desktop typewriters (the size of a microwave) appeared on sale for those who have little space in the kitchen. These devices have 5 classes (from A to E). The higher the class, the better the work of the dishwasher.
There is no need to wait until you have enough dirty dishes to wash them in one go. Now there are dishwashers with a convenient function: half load. This saves water, less electricity, faster cleaning (about 15-20 minutes). The dishes are placed on only one basket (bottom or top). But there is minuses: you will have to break the washing tablet in half.
What can and cannot be washed?
Except dishes in any dishwasher can wash food, shoes, etc.
For example, potatoes, toys, boots, slippers (rubber), combs, caps.
It is forbidden wash enameled, copper, brass, aluminum and cast iron dishes in a dishwasher. Aluminum will discolor the walls of the machine and ruin the color of all dishes. Copper cookware fades noticeably. It is better to wash cast iron dishes in warm water by hand.
It is also important to wash expensive knives and crystal by hand. Crystal glasses may crack, break, or become dull.
It is not recommended to wash wooden dishes, cutting boards in the dishwasher. Wooden products can crack, swell.
Graters should not be washed in the dishwasher either. If the quality of the metal is poor, it will start to rust.
Does your dishwasher wash poorly, there are streaks, stains?
It's easy to fix with the right chemistry. There are many dishwasher detergents. The composition of all the products offered in the store is almost the same. All products work at high temperatures (above 40 g).
Error in the fact that some put tablets, pour the powder on the bottom of the dishwasher, the door. What's happening? First, cold water is poured in and all chemicals (tablets, powders) are destroyed. At low water temperatures, there is no benefit from chemistry. The dishes will remain dirty after the end of the wash cycle. Place funds only in a cuvette.
There are tablets with a film (shell). They can be thrown anywhere.
Are there any counterfeit detergents?
Often! Pills are more counterfeited than powders (pills are bought more often). Therefore, people complain that the dishes are not washed out, they remain dirty, with stains. Better to use powder + rinse aid. It is more economical and the dishes will be cleaner.
About rinse aid. Many people think that it is not needed at all. The tool is needed so that there is no drop of water on the dishes (after washing). Many owners complain that water drops remain on the dishes. It is important to know that mouth rinses are often counterfeited too. Therefore, it is worth buying them only in large, proven stores.
Why add baking soda to the dishwasher?
Now many manufacturers do not add soda to the composition of their products as an economy.
Sprinkle in some baking soda and use with a tablet or powder. Baking soda does not remove grease, but it does remove stains and plaque. If you choose the temperature is hotter, it can be washed without tablets, rinse aid and salt.
