      I have a brand new dishwasher that can still leave residue or food stuck on dishes or silverware if they sit long enough to dry out. Just because Technology Connections said something in a YouTube video doesn’t mean it’s a universal truth.

        Less soap

        Preheat water

        Rinse aid (there has to be a non commercial replacement for this but i haven’t researched yet)

        Open it when done (moisture needs a place to go)

        Even after adding a dash of powder detergent to the pre-rinse (by just tossing some in)?

        You can also eliminate mineral build-up from hard water by adding a cup of white vinegar to a cup or dish in the top rack (left facing up).

          Different person, but yes, even after watching the TC video. I preheat the water too. And it’s a fairly recent Miele dishwasher.

          Rinsing the dishes definitely helps cut down on this, though. And occasionally checking the filter at the bottom. A little rinsing goes a long way, I’ve found.

          My dishwasher has a thing for expensive “rinse aid” they think I’m going to put in there. Vinegar works great!

      I love Alex but he just didn’t get those plates dirty enough. For some things you just need to rinse beforehand.

        I just want my landlord to install something other than subflooring in my kitchen.

        Or replace the drywall that’s covered in black mold.

        A fridge that isn’t 40 years old would’ve been cooler.

        Maybe a stove replacement for the one that nearly caught an electrical fire 4y ago.

        Maybe for the cost of all of the repairs this place needs i should just offer to buy it and evict the upstairs neighbors
