Yeah, I only started the taking-things-apart approach recently, when my dishes were never getting clean, thinking it was a one-time need. Turns out, it works but doesn't last too long. I could probably avoid it if I was willing to pre-rinse or be more selective about what goes in the dishwasher, but I am more willing to take the thing apart.

I think that the Seventh Generation guy is not washing poopy things when he suggests washing clothes without soap.
Seventh Gen isn't good for cloth diapers anyway because of the enzymes & brighteners. (I use soap nuts.)
I want a dishwasher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At this point, I probably put half of my things in the dishwasher, and it is still awesome! I wash coffee cups and plates etc. about once a week.

When we first moved into our apartment, the dishwasher would leave my stuff gritty. I complained and the maintenance guy fixed it. The food trap was apparently full of gunk and simply cleaning that made it all better - haven't had a problem since. But it keeps me pre-rinsing so that I don't clog it and recreate the problem.

I am a little surprised that they are not making a decision about NYPS for tomorrow, yet. Maybe by the 6pm news?

How much have you gotten? It's coming down a little harder here, but nothing has accumulated.

My dishwasher is for shit -- it especially can't clean anything at all greasy. Like my butter knife, say. But maybe that's the store brand detergent I've been putting in it? Unclear.
Our old dishwasher used to do that, it was that the water wasn't hot enough. With our new dishwasher, though, it gets plenty hot. I almost cried with joy the first time I unloaded the dishes from that thing.

I probably run my dishwasher about twice a month. Usually because I'm already washing pots from cooking, so I might as well was most everything else. I've been trying to use the dishwasher more, as my BFF's mom told me that her friend didn't use her dishwasher and the seals dried and cracked, so that when she did use it, it leaked.

Huh. I know sometimes my water in general takes a long time to heat up, so many I should be more strategic with the timing.
