I'll be getting a dishwasher installed this week and I'm super excited!

Is there any wisdom you can share?

Do I really need to rinse every plate and spoon before putting it in?! ( This is what the plumber has said!)

What else can i wash in there apart from dishes of course!

Which tablets are good/ value for money?

How often do I need to clean it out?

I can't wait to start using it!

A few words on dishwashers.... firstly the BEST thing I have ever, ever spent money on, and yes, that includes chocolate. You will never look back and your life will be one heck of a lot easier with one. Just a few tips. We don't rinse anything except heavily soiled things but you should always put the spoons and forks in with the tines/scoopy bit facing downwards, not upwards. Also, be careful of large platters/plates that could stop the dishwasher blades going round! And finally, did you know that a dishwasher is more eco than washing things in a sink - so a totally guilt-free pleasure (unlike chocolate!)
