2022-02-07 at 3:53 PM UTCDishwashers are great, you don't need to "prewash" if you have a good one and use good detergent.
In the absence of a dishwasher a woman works great too. -

I was going to dispute this but got down a rabit hole that says detergent actually works BETTER when you don't pre-rinse so IDFK anymore. -
2022-02-08 at 4:18 AM UTCI am curious about this magical detergent that works better if dishes are dirtier rather than cleaner to begin with. Please enlighten me.

2022-02-08 at 11:02 AM UTCwhy don't you make your bitch do the dishes?
Or man up and do them half the time.
Stop being a loser and do your fucking dishes
Or takea bite out of the kr0zd0g and use paperplates despite being a dishwasher for a living

2022-02-08 at 11:23 AM UTCDishwashers are great. Around here most of them are cold fill nowadays, so all you need is a cold water hookup. But our electricity is much more powerful and much more efficient and less of a fire hazard (220v) than your electricity (110v). I know in America you have to do retarded things like hook together two AC phases just to run common domestic appliances.

Apparently there's enzymes that work better if there's shit on the dishes.
Like, normally I'd agree that it's some nutjob, but when it's straight from the Cascade website it makes you wonder. -

Well cascade would say that wouldn't they...it's like believing the bible because the bible tells you to. -

Not true. The only common things in the USA that run off of 220 volts are air conditioners (whole house and only larger window units), electric furnaces, electric stoves/ovens, electric clothes driers and electric water heaters. Actually, most of those items don't even use electricity for their main function but rather use natural gas as their heat source. Nothing that plugs into the wall uses 220 volts be it a hair drier, curling iron, lamp, vacuum, refrigerator, dishwasher, computer, TV, stereo, blender, toaster, microwave, toaster oven, etc. -

Bull hockey! Not pre rinsing will not only cause more maintenance issues with needing to clean fil ters and strainers and washer arms frequently but also will greatly shorten the life of your machine when the grit works on your seals. My last dishwasher (that I installed myself where there had never been one) lasted over 25 years and I am always anal about pre-rinsing. I also only ever use Cascade powder because a guy I worked with who did appliance repair told me he never ran into detergent issues on machines that used it. The powder is getting hard to find these days because they want to sell you their more expensive fancy packets.
Edit to add: I never once in over 25 years had to clean any fil ters, strainers or washer arms on my dishwasher. -
2022-02-08 at 3:10 PM UTCJust soak before washer.

LMAO Americans can't even plug in a simple electric heater without blowing up their wiring.
They don't even use a loop layout for their electrical wiring either. Their plugs don't even have fuses built in. -

Yeah I kinda figured, without looking it up mind you, that this might be the only way to make sense of it. "they get cleaner when they're dirtier because there's more dirt per Capita to clean."
I'll allow it, but under duress, as an already mostly clean dish doesn't need a bunch of EXTRA crystallization to get the HARD TO CLEAN dirties, because you already eliminated the hard to clean dirties in the pre-wash.
I wonder if cascade says on their product, 'for maximum effectiveness, prior to loading dishes in the dish racks, take as much extra food from your garbage or household and smear it on your already dirtied plates, in order to achieve maximum cleanliness results.'
Or an actual visual example of a mostly clean plate and a much dirtier plate, side by side, being washed under the exact same conditions with the same water, same temp, same pressure, same time, and same detergent.
Thanks! -

Why would they tell you to do anything that didn't make their soap appear to work better? They aren't just saying you don't have to pre-wash, they're saying it's actually harmful to do it at all. -
2022-02-09 at 2:24 AM UTCYou don't have to prewash; that would make the dishwasher redundant. All you have to do is soften the food on the dishes by soaking in hot water for an hour. Get a large, plastic container and fill it with hot water and dump all the dishes in there and let them soak, then put them in the dishwasher. They'll come out sparling clean, with no prewashing.

2022-02-09 at 2:47 AM UTCYeah in fact you don't have to wash jack shit if you just SMASH all your dishes into the garbage and throw em away.
There, I did the stupid dishes you stupid nagging fucking BITCH!!!!!!1111
