How clean is enough?

I really dislike having other people washing our dishes. They're robbing me of quality time.

Oh and BTW Zoe - I've seen the pic of your dish washer - most definately a necessity as it multi tasks as a stress buster and comforter!

I have a similar washing machine....

It makes a very good hot water bottle as well.

My cat is the pre wash of my dishwasher - licks it clean.. then I wash it down in the sink as the gravy has been cleared away the water stays cleaner for longer

whether a dishwasher is luxury depends with how many people you live.
for just my daughter and me (and kitties) it IS a luxury.
I don't personally think it would save energy on my already very low bill ....
just curious.

and as for cleanliness..........when it does no longer smell, all bits are removed off the plate, is degreased.
clean enough.

I recently had to buy a new dishwasher (briefly sits in corner with head bowed awaiting telling off for using the phrase "had to buy" and "dishwasher" in the same sentence - but I have my reasons ) Anyway, it came with a free sample of a certain kind of dishwashing product. So tonight, as I had pans to be washed I used one of the blocks of product. I was amazed at how shiney the dishes came out - but am kind of worried as to what they use to get them like that and why would anyone want to be so dazzled?

I wish my wife would use them two sentences together but until then I'm semtenced to be the dishwasher! .......... mind you she has never seen the inside of a bloody kitchen for at least 14 years!!

Not so medium Big Al

doesn't the cat object to being washed down in the sink..... they do in garden ponds....
