Question: Why are my dishes coming out dirty, perhaps even dirtier than they were when I put them in the dishwasher?
Answer: There are several factors in the performance of a dishwasher, and some of them can be easily addressed. Wash performance may improve if you do the following:
- Use rinse aid such as Jet Dry
- Run hot water at the sink prior to beginning a cycle
- Use an appropriate amount of detergent for the soil level in the dishwasher. This is usually about 1-2 tablespoons of detergent
- Use a high quality detergent such as Cascade powder
- Use a water softener on your house water or specifically on the water supply to the dishwasher
- If problems persist, call for service. There may be something more going on, but we are absolutely the right people to address your issue. Give us a call or schedule online.
