Our dishwasher never seems to have anything in the filter. I guess that it filters recirculating water then flushes the filter when it empties.

But I always rinse before hand weather it's going to washed by hand or put into a dishwasher, moreso if going to be washed by hand.

Me too. I do so whether they are going in the dish washer or being washed by hand. I don't really like washing dishes in dirty water full of food scraps and sauces etc.

Also my dish washer/powder doesn't seem to be that effective with hard dried on/baked on stains, so rinsing loosens/removes those first.

782403 2009-06-15 04:53:00 We rinse some of our dishes before they go in the dishwasher. Less dirty dishes simply go straight in. :D pcuser42 (130)
782404 2009-06-15 04:59:00 we rinse only if there is super stuck on stuff but otherwise they go in the double dish drawers GameJunkie (72)

I doubt very much that your SWMBO was hovering nearby as you wrote that! Are you being entirely truthful?:blush:

782407 2009-06-15 05:35:00 It's a good habit to get into to rinse the dishes straight after a meal. It saves power by only having to use the econo-mode on the machine, if it has one. Greg (193)
782408 2009-06-15 06:12:00 What you are supposed to do is not treat it as a waste disposal.
So if there is actual food on it or loads of stuck stuff, then rinse it.

But its a dishwasher, you don't clean everything first.
