Dish Wash 500-ml

1. Dishwashing by Hand:

• Tools Needed: Dish soap, hot water, sponge or dishcloth, scrub brush, drying rack, and possibly gloves.

• Steps:

  1. Preparation: Scrape off leftover food from the dishes. Organize dishes (plates, glasses, utensils, etc.) into groups.
  2. Washing: Fill the sink with hot, soapy water. Use a sponge or dishcloth to scrub each item, starting with glasses and cups, followed by plates, bowls, and utensils. Items with more grease or stuck food may require a scrub brush.
  3. Rinsing: After washing, rinse the dishes under clean, warm water to remove soap residue.
  4. Drying: Either dry the dishes with a clean towel or place them in a drying rack to air dry.

• Tips:

  • Use hot water for better grease removal.
  • Clean dishes in a particular order to avoid cross-contaminating clean dishes with dirty ones.
  • Change dishwater if it becomes too greasy or dirty.

2. Dishwashing with a Dishwasher:

• Tools Needed: Dishwasher detergent, rinse aid (optional), and the dishwasher itself.

• Steps:

  1. Loading the Dishwasher: Properly load the dishwasher with dishes. Place larger items like pots and pans on the bottom rack, smaller items (cups, bowls) on the top rack. Be mindful not to overcrowd the dishwasher to ensure thorough cleaning.
  2. Adding Detergent: Put the appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent in the detergent compartment.
  3. Choosing a Cycle: Select the appropriate cycle based on how dirty the dishes are (e.g., normal, heavy, quick, or eco cycle).
  4. Unloading: Once the cycle finishes, allow dishes to cool slightly before unloading, starting with the bottom rack to avoid water dripping from the top rack onto the clean dishes below.

• Tips:

  • Don’t overload the dishwasher, as water needs to reach all the surfaces of the dishes.
  • Pre-rinse heavily soiled dishes to prevent food from clogging the dishwasher.
  • Use the correct detergent for your dishwasher type (e.g., pods, powder, or gel).
