What To Know

  • When you place the tablet in the bottom of the machine, it ensures that the cleaning agents are evenly distributed throughout the water, reaching all of the dishes in the dishwasher.
  • In addition, placing the dishwasher tablet in the bottom of the machine helps to prevent the tablet from getting stuck in the dispenser.
  • When the tablet is placed in the bottom of the machine, it is less likely to rattle around during the wash cycle, which can reduce noise.

Are you tired of dishes that come out of the dishwasher still dirty, with food particles stuck to them? Do you find yourself constantly having to rewash dishes, wasting time and energy? If so, you may be making a common mistake: not putting the dishwasher tablet in the bottom of the machine.

Why Put the Dishwasher Tablet in the Bottom of the Machine?

The dishwasher tablet contains powerful cleaning agents that work to break down food particles and remove stains from dishes. When you place the tablet in the bottom of the machine, it ensures that the cleaning agents are evenly distributed throughout the water, reaching all of the dishes in the dishwasher. This results in cleaner dishes, with no food particles left behind.

In addition, placing the dishwasher tablet in the bottom of the machine helps to prevent the tablet from getting stuck in the dispenser. If the tablet gets stuck, it may not dissolve properly, which can lead to poor cleaning performance.

Other Benefits of Putting the Dishwasher Tablet in the Bottom of the Machine

In addition to cleaner dishes, putting the dishwasher tablet in the bottom of the machine can also provide other benefits, such as:

  • Reduced noise: When the tablet is placed in the bottom of the machine, it is less likely to rattle around during the wash cycle, which can reduce noise.
  • Improved water flow: Placing the tablet in the bottom of the machine helps to improve water flow throughout the dishwasher, which can lead to better cleaning performance.
  • Extended dishwasher life: By preventing the tablet from getting stuck in the dispenser, you can help to extend the life of your dishwasher.

How to Put the Dishwasher Tablet in the Bottom of the Machine

Putting the dishwasher tablet in the bottom of the machine is easy. Simply follow these steps:

1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Locate the bottom of the dishwasher.
3. Place the dishwasher tablet in the bottom of the dishwasher.
4. Close the dishwasher door.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When putting the dishwasher tablet in the bottom of the machine, there are a few common mistakes to avoid:

  • Do not place the tablet in the dispenser. The dispenser is designed to hold the tablet in place during the wash cycle. However, if the tablet gets stuck in the dispenser, it may not dissolve properly, which can lead to poor cleaning performance.
  • Do not place the tablet in the silverware basket. The silverware basket is not designed to hold the dishwasher tablet. If the tablet is placed in the silverware basket, it may dissolve too quickly, which can lead to poor cleaning performance.
  • Do not use too much dishwasher detergent. Using too much dishwasher detergent can leave a residue on your dishes.

Recommendations

By following these tips, you can ensure that your dishes come out of the dishwasher clean and sparkling every time.
