To remove dirt from dishes, you can remove food residues with a spoon or a paper towel instead of pre-rinsing. This clever gesture prevents food residues from clogging the appliance. Some high-performance models are equipped to remove stubborn dirt.
In addition, it is advisable to use the right amount of detergent to avoid overloading the appliance and to take full advantage of its power, and to use a water softener. This will allow you to dose a good amount of salt depending on the hardness of the water. For this reason, it is important to know the lime content of the water. You can find this information on your water bill.
Which detergent should I use for the dishwasher?
Gel, powder, tablets are all forms of detergent that can be used for the dishwasher. There are also so-called “all-in-one” products that contain both salt and rinse aid. We recommend using them with a “tablet” program if your appliance is equipped with one and placing them in the detergent drawer and not in the cutlery basket.
As you may have understood, for optimal washing results and greater economy, it is advisable not to pre-wash the dishes before putting them in the washing machine.
