Chapter 08 — Home & Car
What is the correct way to load a dishwasher?
Plates face the spray arm, cups upside down on the top rack, knives handle-up, big items on the sides so they don't block spray. Don't pre-rinse — modern detergent needs food to grip.
Follow-up questions
Rinse aid — do I need it?
Yes for spot-free glass. Skip and streaks return.
Pods vs powder?
Powder or gel is cheaper per load and lets you adjust for load size. Pods are convenient but overkill for small loads.
