    I used to always just fire the knives, forks, spoons in any old way in the little holder for the cutlery.

    But then Mrs.keith16 made a rule that each little compartment should hold cutlery of the same type. So all the forks go in the same box.

    Now I love emptying the dishwasher.

    She's changed you, man :(

    This is why I had two kids, granted they are meant to cost me 100k each, but its worth it when I say "kids who's turn is it, to empty/fill dishwasher" :D

    I think the backwards man has just invented a fool-proof PUA technique. We'll end up pulling each others hair out to get him soon. :D

    My broke a month ago, cant afford to fix it, but getting use to cleaning the old way.
    have notice you use alot less cutlery, instead off just using every dish ,cup, and knife and fork until the dishwasher is full !

    If you're running a long hot wash put a small squirt of bleach into the dishwasher during the first fill up. Don't do it in a short wash, you need a couple of rinses at least. It makes cutlery and glasses sparkle and sanitises everything.

    Another pro-tip it to get one of those squeezy lemon juice things and put a little squirt of that in the final rinse and the dishwasher and crockery smells lovely afterwards.

    I don't mind the dishwasher, but the chore I LOVE is folding laundry straight out of the dryer. All that lovely soft, warm, cosy stuff, like a big fluffy cuddle for your hands.

    Don't have a dishwasher. I hate using them, I'd have the job done myself in the time taken fill it and unload it.

    It's probably more worthwhile for a bigger household though.

    This. I am madly in love with my dishwasher but filling and emptying it is children's work.

    Taking a dump can be a joyful
    experience at times and I do love to eat, so yeah, I guess I do like emptying and filling the dishwasher.

    I don't think they recommend doing that to the dishwasher, I could be wrong now.

    Most dishwasher manuals would advise against it but the modern ones can handle it. I would opt for the highest temperature and longest cycle.

    I am surprised at the number of people that do not have a dishwasher. I would expect all rental accommodation to have one at the very least but I could be wrong.

    Not sure which end of Aylesbury road you are thinking of, but you could be very very wrong.

    I don't have one and I miss it terribly, I dispise washing up with a passion, I hate everything about it, not least the horrible way my hands feel after it. Someone was selling me a dishwasher barely used for really cheap and all but I am in a rented accomadation and there was no where for me to plumb it in.

    I don't mind filling or empying the dishwasher - not a favourite chore but not the worst.
    What I HATE is the dishes/pans that don't fit well in the dishwasher or can't be washed in it - they pile up on the draining board waiting to be washed :mad: This is a job I LOATHE and causes endless arguments in our house. If they're left too long, it's even worse ...

    Filling and emptying the dishwasher isn't the worst chore in the house. So I don't mind it.

    The Galway end...Dishwashers cost between 200 and 300 these days - a weeks rent for many houses. Tenants should be demanding/expecting dishwashers or else they should look elsewhere or query the rent. Irish landlords are the scabbiest in the world methinks.
