Rinsing Before Using the Dishwasher

While your dishwasher can certainly handle some food clinging to it's filter and still clean your dishes well you do need to rinse all of your dishes before putting them in to ensure the best clean over the long run.

Some of our clients have been dismayed to hear that the reason their dishwasher broke down is because too much food was left on items and their filter developed a hole.  Debris getting past the filter will lead to a clog in the circulation system which is an integral part of how any dishwasher, no matter what the brand is, cleans dishes.

Just remember that anything that is on your dishes might end up staying in the dishwasher.  Just imagining some food items sitting inside the dishwasher load after load should be enough to inspire you to rinse before loading.
