O? So sorry. I bought mine 2 years ago. The new ones will clean milo and all those rice off as well? Then I'll go get one ASAP!2ppaamm:
You need to clean the dishes properly b4 putting them into the dishwasher anyway.
U must be using an old model. The latest models only require large pieces of food to be disposed before putting the dishes in. No pre-washing or rinsing is required. -

After drinking milo/coffee, soak cups in water. Ditto for rice cooker pot/curry pot. The next day just empty water n dump inside dishwasher. 90% of the time everything cleaned off. 10% of the time is because left the stuff to cake for too long LOL then simply need to soak longer that's all.

Thanks for the tip! I will leave a pail of water for soaking from now. I used to put brush or wipe off all the oily and stubborn stains and put them in the washer immediately. :stupid:

I bought the dishwasher when i didn't have a maid....tried to train my wife how to wash dishes the water-economical way....die die cannot train wan....train her until i vomit blood....everytime even just washing a single cup, the faucet will be turned on full-blast....she says \"won't washing it faster save more water?\" :stupid:
For my family, using a dishwasher saves water. I won't say so for other families who are more \"train-able\" LOL -
LOL... dishwasher save water meh? :lol: consume much electricity too I guess. The only plus point is our medicure can last longer. :lol:

Compared with the way my wife insists on washing the dishes, yes. Compared with other frugal/well-trained people, no.
U should have seen the way my wife (in fact, her whole clan also liddat wan haiz) washes dishes n cups. I think she uses an entire swimming pool's worth of water. -

I was trained by mom when little. I have to wash the 2 toilets to earn $5 for excursion (need to buy chips). But she deducted $1 cos I used the entire bottle of JIF. \"save save save\" she said. She also say the TV will \"melt\" if we watch cartoon for too long. Guess she want to save electricity. :lol: -

I know where u r coming from....i was also well-trained. But my wife's family, even her entire clan, do not save water nor electricity. Strangely, even her grandparents are not frugal...
I was trained by mom when little.

Actually, if you read the reports a few weeks ago in ST, to save water, they say to use the dishwasher. Yep, I think it does save water for me.
