A survey found that 40% of people only ever use one cycle on their machine, no matter what’s being washed.
I’m surprised that number isn’t higher.
There’s little change to what gets put in our dishwasher and therefore very rarely a need to change its cycle when it works.
But ours is just used to wash dishes unlike some others:
Gen Ys are more likely than all other age groups to not understand dishwasher cycle options and are also less likely to be able to perform basic maintenance on their machines.
“They are also more likely to use their dishwasher to clean things other than dishes and cutlery; washing pans, baking trays, sponges and even toothbrushes or sports shoes,” says Bonnar.
Toothbrushes and sports shoes?
That raises a whole lot of questions but I’m not sure I want to know the answers.
