Overview

This video provides comprehensive guidance on how to properly use and maintain a dishwasher for optimal cleaning results. It covers the factors influencing washing quality, the different types of detergents, common user errors, and tips for dealing with specific washing issues like residue or poor drying.

Key takeaways

• Dishwasher performance factors: Effective dishwashing depends on four key factors: chemistry (detergent), mechanics (water pressure), temperature, and time.
• Detergent types and usage:
  • Powders: Allow for user-defined dosage based on the load, which can be more effective for heavily soiled items.
  • Tablets: Offer convenience but come in a fixed dosage, often optimized for a half-full load, and can be insufficient for heavy soiling.
  • All-in-one tablets: Most have three core components (detergent, rinse aid, salt substitute); additional claims (6-in-1, 10-in-1, etc.) are marketing.
  • Powders and non-shelled tablets: Must be placed in the designated compartment, which opens only when the water reaches the correct temperature. Placing them on the bottom or in the door can render them ineffective.
  • Shelled tablets: Can be placed anywhere as the shell dissolves to release the detergent gradually.
• Rinse aid importance: Essential for preventing water spots and ensuring proper drying by reducing water's surface tension. Adjusting the dosage can resolve issues with spotting or wet dishes.
• Common user errors:
  • Placing detergents/tablets in the wrong compartment.
  • Improper loading of dishes, especially large items like pots and pans, which can block water spray.
  • Using detergents not suited for dishwasher use (e.g., hand dish soap).
• Addressing washing issues:
  • White residue/chalky film: May indicate a need for more rinse aid or a dishwasher cleaning cycle.
  • Water spots/wet dishes: Can be due to insufficient rinse aid, incorrect dosage, or a malfunctioning dishwasher's drying system.
  • Grease buildup: Can occur with frequent low-temperature washes; regular cleaning cycles with specialized products are recommended every 2-3 months.
• Advanced Washing:
  • Degen (gel): Suitable for delicate items like glass and works at lower temperatures (30-35°C) without leaving residue. Not effective for heavily soiled pots and pans.
  • Optimizing cycles: For better results, consider increasing wash time, temperature, and ensuring proper dish loading.
• Dishwasher origin: European-manufactured dishwashers are designed to perform well on a 50°C program. Asian-manufactured dishwashers might require adjustments in temperature or duration for similar results.
• Counterfeits: Be cautious of counterfeit cleaning products, especially tablets and rinse aids, as they are common and less effective. Purchase from reputable retailers.

The primary function of rinse aid is to prevent water spots and ensure proper drying by reducing the surface tension of water. This allows water to sheet off dishes more effectively.

Adjusting the rinse aid dosage can help with the following common washing problems:

• White residue or chalky film on dishes: If there's too much rinse aid, it can leave a residue. In this case, decreasing the dosage is recommended.
• Water spots or wet dishes: If dishes are consistently coming out wet or with water spots, it often indicates that the rinse aid dosage is too low or the rinse aid itself is ineffective (potentially counterfeit). Increasing the dosage can help resolve this.
