Well, just as showering uses far less water than taking an old-fashioned bath, you might be surprised to learn that using the dishwasher (yes, always fill it before running it - ) is actually much more efficient:<BR/><BR/>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/08/dishwasher_vs_h.phpSusan McLaughlin landscape designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221464097549167840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20736450.post-4548977405031275172007-05-31T14:03:00.000-06:002007-05-31T14:03:00.000-06:00Good tips here.

We've had a few issues with our dishwasher and more than 1 service repairman has mentioned the Tang tip to us, as well as running the water in the tap till it's hot before starting the dishwasher. Though make sure it's REALLY hot.<BR/><BR/>One other thing most are saying is NOT to rinse your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Instead, just scrape them in the sink (or garbage), and then put them in. The dishwasher's sensors will pick up the food particles and work harder in areas that have food, as well as adjust itself when particles fling off. If you rinse them, the dishwasher's going to think everything's already clean and not do as good a job.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059123441751200723noreply@blogger.com
