How to arrange dishes inside the equipment?
Household appliances wash every device placed on its territory, but if they are positioned incorrectly, the quality of washing will deteriorate. How to place dishes inside the mechanism for a quality sink?
How to choose the right mode?
The quality of washing and resource consumption depend on the selected mode. The standard washing mode uses several stages: preliminary disposal of food residues, washing hot water with added detergent, rinse and dry. In addition to the standard mode, there are several more options:
— intensive washing mode (used to wash particularly dirty dishes (long-term grease deposits, dried stains));
— delicate mode (for “vulnerable” dishes);
— economical mode (low temperature mode, saving resource consumption);
— express mode.
By choosing a mode to suit your specific requirements, you can save not only time, but also the cost of servicing household appliances.
How to choose suitable detergents?
Pay attention only to special means for the kitchen assistant, no standard dish balms or laundry detergents! Specialized products are divided into two types: powder and tablet.
Each of them has advantages: powder ones are economical ( minimum consumption), tablets are convenient (they combine detergent, rinse aid and salt). The consumption is as follows: powder 30 grams, tablets - 1 tablet per cycle.
Products are divided into strongly alkaline (for standard washing) and weakly alkaline (for fragile utensils, contain enzymes). If there is no detergent in the instructions special conditions operation, it is better not to risk using it for washing silver and crystal.
It’s good if the detergent is made based on natural ingredients, without chlorine, phosphates and other harmful additives. The process occurs due to oxygen and active ingredients. Among the popular “eco” manufacturers of dishwasher detergents are Proprete, Gruen-Green, De la Mark, Klar, as well as:
—Mrs. Meyer’s is a manufacturer that does not use phosphates and chlorine, instead using an oxygen formula;
— Finish Quantum - produces three-component substances: bleaching particles, rinse aid, beads to remove dirt;
— Cascade Complete is a manufacturer that produces a gel product that does its job perfectly.
Dishwasher salt is included in many tablets, but if you are using powdered detergent, you will need to purchase additional salt. The amount of this substance depends on the degree of water hardness. Saving on salt will lead to the formation of scale and calcium deposits.
A rinse aid that prevents water stains from forming is used by many users. But it is better if it is part of detergents.
The product for washing household appliances also deserves attention. Once every 5-10 months, depending on the frequency of use, it is recommended to clean this household appliance. Unfortunately, despite many advantages, a kitchen unit can be a breeding ground for bacteria and microbes that require systematic destruction. Products containing enzymes and polycarboxylates are excellent for washing and disinfecting kitchen appliances.

You may find this article useful: how to run the dishwasher for the first time.
Items that can be washed in PMM
These products and materials are approved for automatic washing only under certain conditions:
- Products made from cupronickel. The metal can be part of cutlery - it looks like silver. Cupronickel can only be placed in the dishwasher separately from other appliances, as it may darken.
- Children's toys made of plastic are easy to wash in a washing machine. Avoid loading toys with small glued elements. They will fall off and may damage the pump.
What can't be washed in the dishwasher
What materials should not be loaded into the machine:
- Cast iron. Cast iron grates, cauldrons, pots, pans can only be handled by hand, preferably without detergents. Otherwise, the surface begins to become covered with a white coating and rust. Some people clean cast iron with sand or salt.
Important! Cast iron utensils with ceramic coating can withstand automatic washing.
- Tree. Wooden boards, spoons, spatulas lose their shape when exposed to high temperatures. The structure of the tree is destroyed and objects become unusable.
- Enamel. Enameled and Teflon pots, bowls, Tefal frying pans. Under strong pressure of hot water, the coating is washed off and the items can no longer be used.
- Copper and brass. Dishes made from these materials darken and lose their shape.
- Silver. The table service will instantly lose its shine, and if you mix silver with metal, the objects will react and darken. You can wash silver, but take precautions. It is recommended to purchase a special accessory for the dishwasher - a tray for washing silverware.
- Aluminum. The meat grinder, baking sheet, and garlic press will also darken. Moreover, aluminum washes off and stains the walls of the dishwasher.
- Crystal. Crystal products are sensitive to high temperatures and may crack. Although modern PMMs have a “Delicate” mode with a lower temperature, we recommend washing the crystal by hand. Abrasive detergent particles may scratch the surface.
- Porcelain with a pattern without glaze and gilding. Over time, the decor will darken, wash off, and become unpresentable. appearance.
Is it possible to put a thermos in the dishwasher? Undesirable, especially products with a glass bulb. The same applies to thermal mugs. Jets of hot water destroy the insulation and the item becomes unusable. Today on the market you can find new types of thermoses that can already be washed in a machine: for example, Hoffmann. Look carefully at the symbols.
Which items require manual care:
- Cans, baby bottles with stickers and drawings. The sticker will peel off and clog the drain filter, which will lead to operational problems.
- Knives. If the chamber does not have a special holder for knives, it is better to care for them manually. Sharp edges quickly dull from hot water and can also damage the chamber walls and rubber gaskets.
- Graters, strainer. Dried pieces of food get stuck in the holes and are not washed out during automatic washing.
- Electric kettle, steamer with a special coating, blender. All these items may become unusable. You can only download individual elements blender, for example, a whisk and a flask made of heat-resistant plastic.

Probably not fewer ideas saving and rational use of my time, I love life hacks that simplify our lives. Therefore, let me share with you all the ideas for non-standard use of a dishwasher that I found on the Internet, and you tell me which of these ideas you have already used or, perhaps, you have other completely non-standard and interesting ideas! I’ll be happy to listen to them and update this post with them.
Fruits and vegetables

Washing vegetables under the tap will use quite a lot of water, even if you wash the vegetables effectively. Therefore, for washing vegetables and fruits (especially if you buy them at the store) it will be much more effective in the dishwasher.
Arrange vegetables and fruits on the top and bottom racks in one layer. Avoid the possibility of them falling into the openings. They also should not interfere with the rotation of the PMM itself.
Important: use only the rinse cycle without using detergent! No soap!
This should be obvious, but avoid washing soiled vegetables in the dishwasher as the dirt may get stuck in your dishwasher.
Construction sets (Lego and the like), various small plastic toys, etc.

Constructor, small plastic toys place in a laundry bag to prevent spillage in the PPM. You can wash it in the same way. washing machine(choose where it will be more convenient and familiar to you).
Any other large plastic or metal toys
 |

Plastics commonly used in toys can be washed in a washing machine because... it is durable and quite dense. But when in doubt, use the delicate mode.
Baseball caps
 |

Baseball caps can become deformed in the washing machine, while in the dishwasher water pours from below and will not change their shape. Therefore, washing baseball caps and caps in the dishwasher is not a bad idea.
Rubber Shoes

Beach rubber shoes and rubber boots Can be easily washed in the dishwasher. Of course, before doing this, it is advisable to rinse them so that there is no sand or soil left on them, and the insoles must first be pulled out. Beach shoes, in which you can walk on water and are adapted for this, are often not glued together (!), but stitched or otherwise protected from water. Of course, you shouldn’t risk washing it all at 90 degrees, but with a relatively gentle regime, washing such shoes in the dishwasher can significantly save you time. In general, with shoes, you should first think about whether it’s worth washing them at all (the same as if you decide to wash them in a washing machine. They say that Crocks definitely cannot be washed in the PPM. I washed ordinary beach slippers (flip-flops) and was satisfied.
Pet bowls and toys

Place your pets' toys and dishes on the top rack of the dishwasher and clean them of germs.
Plastic containers (pots and baskets), plastic stands for soap and toothbrushes, filters for hoods, ventilation, humidifiers, vacuum cleaners, etc., plastic covers for sockets, etc.

Anything made of hard plastic can be washed in the dishwasher. A plastic filter from the hood (of course, its contents must first be removed :)) This can also include various office supplies, such as plastic coasters for pencils, paper and other office small things.
Brushes, combs, makeup brushes

Be sure to remove all hair from your combs first to avoid clogging the dishwasher drain. But it can handle dirt on plastic just fine on its own. Remember that wooden products should not be washed in the PPM!
Cleaning accessories

In addition to the microwave, another way to disinfect your dishwashing sponges is the PPM. Place the sponges in the upper part in the glass tray and your dishwashing sponge will be disinfected at the end of the wash just like your dishes.
About filters various devices I already wrote above. This category also includes various dustpans and cleaning brushes.
Decorations

An easy way to care for your jewelry (made of silver and gold) is to use the same dishwasher. The main thing is to put them in the PPM in such a way that they do not end up in the water drain after washing. PPM does an excellent job of washing silverware, why not use it for washing jewelry. For washing small items, special (see photo above) closing trays for jewelry are suitable.
Sport equipment

The dishwasher, or PMM, has become a real kitchen assistant for housewives. The smart unit will make dirty plates and spoons perfectly clean in a matter of minutes. The device can handle even heavily soiled dishes. But you need to remember what you can and cannot wash in the dishwasher. Improper operation of the unit will lead to its failure and damage to the dishes.
All dishwashers operate according to a specific program. By pressing the button you can enable:
- water supply through a pump;
- heating it;
- washing under rotating jets of water;
- rinsing with a special composition.
Washed dishes are also dried inside. In one step, the unit can clean up to 14 sets of dishes.
Detergents
On the door household appliance there is a container for detergent. It is impossible to remove stains without using a powder or tablet. And the machine is configured to work with detergents. Without them, the device may automatically turn off. Each type of dishwasher has its own product.
At the bottom of the device there is space for regenerating sodium salt. It will help soften tap water and clean cutlery.
It is better to purchase tablets, which are combined with detergent saline solution and rinse aid.
Water temperature
On electronic unit Sensors control the temperature of the water inside. A special meter supports the operating mode of the unit. In addition, the sensor ensures that the heating element does not overheat. Optimally, water is heated to 50-60 degrees. Sensors also determine the hardness of the water, the presence of impurities in it, and even the air temperature in the kitchen.
Prolonged exposure to moisture
You can clean dishes until they shine only in several stages:
- First, soak the items so that dried dirt can be washed off.
- Jets of hot water, which is supplied through spray nozzles, thoroughly wash cutlery.
- At the end, rinsing with clean water and drying occurs.
The duration of action of water depends on the selected operating mode of the machine and the composition of the soil on the dishes.
Hot air drying
The machine dries items using a built-in fan. Although they note that this method of processing washed dishes is energy dependent, it proceeds quickly. More modern models equipped with the mineral zeolite, which releases dry heated air when absorbing water. This air flow is used to dry wet glasses and plates.
What is allowed to be washed
Everything should not be loaded into the washing machine basket. After all, not all dishes can withstand hot water. You can ruin unique specimens in one step. And the dishwasher will deteriorate if you use it incorrectly.
Made from food-grade plastic and heat-resistant silicone
The silicone baking dish can withstand high temperatures in the oven. Therefore, you can wash them in the washing machine basket without fear. The material does not deform, remaining in its original shape.
Plastic cups, cutting boards, and food storage containers can be easily washed from greasy food residues. It is more difficult to clean them manually. But disposable tableware should not be placed in the basket of the unit. It will not withstand hot water and drying.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel included kitchen utensils refers to resistant materials. She's only afraid mechanical damage, A chemical substances Clean the steel surface until it shines.
Melchior
Copper alloy appliances look much better after being washed in the dishwasher. Cupronickel silverware becomes shiny, without a dark coating.
Regular and heat-resistant glass
Thick glass items should be placed in baskets so that they do not touch the walls. Otherwise, cracks may appear on the glasses. It is recommended to wash pressed heat-resistant glassware with hot water and rinse thoroughly.
Ceramics
Ceramic cookware is heat-resistant. Therefore, the material can easily withstand washing in a household machine. After use, it is not recommended to place ceramic dishes in a cold place to avoid cracks.
Enameled metals
The enamel on pans deteriorates from alkalis and acids. Detergents used in the dishwasher should not contain these substances in large quantities. Thanks to the presence of sodium chloride in the unit, it is possible to clean off burnt-on residues on the bottom of enamel cookware.
What you can't put
Not all kitchen utensils are dishwasher safe. A unit that is not used correctly will quickly become unusable. Not to mention damaged items.
Aluminum, silver and copper cookware
Aluminum is one of those materials that darken after exposure to hot water and powder. A disposable wash will not spoil the appearance of the pot or cutlery. But after 3-4 washes you will have to clean the plaque with other means.
Silver and copper in hot water and detergent begin to fade, losing their brightness. Dishes and coffee makers will look ugly.
Wooden and cast iron objects
For wooden products swelling in hot water is typical. A long stay in the dishwasher ends for cutting boards, rolling pins, wooden spoons cracks. After washing in the unit, they will have to be thrown away.
A cast iron cauldron cannot be washed in a household machine. After prolonged exposure to hot water and aggressive detergents, cast iron will begin to corrode. With time problem areas will begin to increase, and you will have to part with the dishes.
Knives, strainers and garlic presses
The sharpness of the knife decreases after washing it in hot water. Devices with glued handles do not tolerate soaking. The same applies to horn and bone knife handles.
Strainers can scratch glass and stainless steel surfaces. Do not put a garlic press in the PMM, since it is usually made of aluminum or copper.
Thermos and crystal products
When purchasing a thermos or thermal mug, pay attention to whether they can be washed in a machine. If not, it is better to wash the devices manually.
From repeated washing in the machine, crystal glasses and shot glasses become dull and become covered with a whitish coating.
Teflon-coated cookware should not be overheated. The action of the detergent will damage the coating. After this, it will be impossible to use the expensive device.
Multicooker cups
High temperatures inside the PMM have a negative effect on the non-stick properties of the multicooker bowl. After washing the unit, you will need to use the cooking appliance several times carefully.
Utensils with decorative elements
Increased sensitivity to external influences unique products made of porcelain and glass will lead to their loss. Often, heating causes cracks to appear on surfaces and decorations, which will ruin the appearance of the decorative item.
What can you wash besides dishes?
Dishwasher owners try to operate it to its full potential. Not only dishes are loaded there, but also other household items that withstand the procedure quite successfully.
Sponges
It is recommended to wash the foam sponges in the unit. They become like new, disappears bad smell. In addition, the soap solution kills pathogenic microorganisms accumulated inside the porous material.
Soap dishes, cups, containers for toothbrushes
If hygiene items are made of durable plastic, then it will withstand the washing procedure successfully. You just need to load the products separately from the kitchen utensils.
Cosmetic brushes
Constant use of brushes for mascara and eye shadow leads to their contamination. And since cosmetics contain a lot of oils, a dishwasher is best for cleaning items.
Hair brushes
Natural oil from the hair gets onto the brushes that are used to comb daily. It is difficult to make the object clean due to the frequently spaced bristles. And jets of hot water in the machine will tidy up your hair brush. Before loading, it is necessary to remove any accumulation of hair on the bristles.
Vegetables (without using detergents)
A large number of potato tubers, beets, and carrots can be washed in the machine if you do not use detergents. Before loading into the basket, it is necessary to clean the vegetables from the soil with a dry brush.
Ceiling lamps
Lampshades are loaded along with the glass figurines. It is difficult to wash them inside by hand. After washing in a household machine, the products will shine.
Filters
Products made of plastic or metal are not afraid of hot water. Any type of dirt can be easily cleaned from them.
Vacuum attachments
With a narrow neck, the nozzles are difficult to arrange. So they put them in the dishwasher, and after a while they become as good as new.
Computer keyboard
It is difficult to remove dust from the corners of the keyboard. We came up with the idea of putting it on the top shelf of the dishwasher with the keys facing down. Turn on delicate mode without using powders.
Caps
It is very difficult to wash a baseball cap by hand and in the washing machine. PMM comes to the rescue. Contaminated hats are loaded into it where glasses are usually located. Since the water is supplied from below, the cap will not lose its shape after such washing.
Ventilation covers
The covers placed on the ventilation passages become so dirty that they spoil the appearance of the house. They can be washed in a washing machine.
Rubber boots, both on top and inside, are excellently treated with jets of hot water and detergent. Along with dirt, pathogenic fungi that accumulate on the insoles of shoes are also eliminated.
Baking trays
Load trays big size difficult in the tank of a car. But medium-sized items can be washed if you use an effective cleaning product like Boch. It will help get rid of heavy fatty contaminants.
Flower pots
Update flowerpots, flowerpots for indoor plants easily by placing them in the unit sink. But if there are decorations or drawings on the pots, they will turn pale.
How to position
The quality of washing household items and dishes depends on their correct location in the PMM:
- Start loading from the bottom of the working compartment. The water temperature here is higher than at the top.
- Glassware is placed upside down.
- Large plates are placed on the sides, and small ones in the center.
- Cutlery with long handles is folded horizontally, alternating with other items.
- The pans are placed vertically so that the handle rests on one of the plates.
- Baking trays are placed along the edge of the basket at the bottom.
Remains of food must be removed from plates, trays, and pots before washing. If there is a lot of dirt, then it is better to fill the car halfway.
It is necessary to select the operating mode of the washing machine taking into account the condition of the loaded dishes and the material from which they are made. Usually adhere to standard features unit.
Increase the washing intensity if a large percentage of the dishes are heavily soiled or have layers of grease on the surface.
For dishes made of thin glass and porcelain, the delicate mode is suitable.
Express mode is needed for those dishes that only need to be washed with cold water. The hot rinsing mode is selected when preparing sets for festive table. It is needed to warm up the plates so that the food served on them does not get cold quickly.
Detergent overview
- phosphate with chlorine;
- only phosphates;
- without phosphate and chlorine.
Based on their form, the products are divided into powder and tablets.
Powder
Detergent powders are considered economical. 1 kilogram of product is enough for 70-80 washing cycles. They clean dishes using oxygen using Proprete, Gruen-Green, Klar. If you have hard water, the powder may remain on glass surface tableware stains. Chlorine-containing powders bleach well; without chlorine it is difficult to remove from glasses.
Tablet
The tablet form is even more economical. They produce combined tablets for washing dishes. Bosch type products must be used according to the instructions. They have a little foam, but are high functionality washing away contaminants.
Basic operating rules
You need to use your dishwasher wisely so that expensive equipment lasts a long time. Therefore it is necessary:
- load the unit tank with moderately contaminated items without food residues;
- make sure that the drain filter is not clogged;
- periodically wash the machine, including when it is unloaded;
- wipe the inside of the unit dry or wipe them with a soft cloth soaked in warm water;
- Sprayers should be washed under warm running water.
To remove the unpleasant odor inside the Redmond car, use deodorant.
Housewives in all developed countries use dishwashers. But they don’t always take proper care of it, trying to wash everything in the kitchen in the machine.
- A frying pan is one of those attributes of the home that you cannot do without. But if you don’t clean an item for a long time, it becomes covered with layers of soot and grease. Before you put the pan in order, you need to soak it in the solution soda ash and silicate glue, holding at a temperature of 80-90 degrees for an hour. Only then do they place the dishes in the machine.
- Not all meat grinder parts can be placed in the machine. The grate will not damage the walls, but it is better to wash the screw by hand. The meat grinder will last a long time if you clean it immediately after use.
- Suitable for automatic washing glass jar. You just need to place them upside down so that the water jets remove the dirt inside.

Despite the use high technology In the production of dishwashers, there are certain restrictions for washing some kitchen utensils. Long term exposure high temperature, contact with detergent may not be effective for all dishes. When installing the machine, it is advisable to read the instructions regarding operating rules. It is necessary to determine already initial stage that kitchen utensils cannot be washed in the dishwasher.
In order to preserve the dishes or their elements and not damage the surface structure, it is necessary to determine correct method processing. Dishes made from materials that can be cleaned at low temperatures or that require gentle cleaning without the use of strong detergents are not suitable for automatic washing.
Aluminum cookware or elements made of this metal are also not suitable for the dishwasher. During automatic processing, metal oxidation occurs. This is due not only to washing under high temperature, but also to the influence of the alkali contained in the detergent.
Aluminum cookware
Silver devices will fade in the dishwasher and the surface will have dark spots. It is generally best to wash silver items immediately after use: prolonged contact with products containing acid or oil should be avoided. Such dishes must also be washed separately from other dishes. metal elements utensils
