3. Dishwashers

All the tips that we have already given above work just fine for dishwashers too. The principles are similar. Keep the heat low or turn it down and do not overload the machine. This is an effective method that can help you avoid unnecessary expenses on power.

1) Heat can and should be turned down if your goal is to save cash. Some brands of dishwashers can do just fine when the heated dry setting is switched off. The main purpose of the mentioned setting is to prevent water marks. Purchase a rinsing agent instead – it is cheap and lasts long.

2) Make sure that you know how to load the dishwasher correctly. Stack the utensils the right way – that also helps to make your energy bill lower. Place the dishes on the bottom. Utensils should be in a separate section with the sharp parts up. Cups as well as bowls should be facing downward and placed on the top. This trick guarantees the perfect water flow. Avoid rewashing by using detergents with a stronger formula. Before loading the machine, rinse off the dishes.
