Reply to comment by Bart-MS in LPT: put dishwasher detergent in your dishwasher as soon as you empty the clean dishes and you’ll never have to guess whether not the dishes are clean. If the detergent tray is empty, they’re clean; if it’s full, they’re dirty. by vendetta2115

This is more for people who share a living space. If person A runs the dishwasher and then person B opens the dishwasher a couple hours later, it may not be apparent whether the dishes are clean or dirty. Glasses in particular are difficult because I always wash out the glass before putting it in the dishwasher, so it looks “clean” but really isn’t.

Who needs to wash things before they are put into the dishwasher? Those appliances are perfectly capable of cleaning the dishes without any pre-washing by hand. This is a total waste of time and ressources. Just scraping off excess food is sufficient.

I live alone and use my dishwasher once a week. Never had I any problem with less-than-perfect cleaned dishes.
