While a Hotpoint Dishwasher, loaded with Finish Quantum, will do a great job for you, loading the dishwasher properly will help ensure you get the very best cleaning performance - and protect your dishware, cookware, cutlery and glasses at the same time.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when loading your dishwasher, but here are our best tips for sparkling results:
- Scrape large particles like bones, seeds, toothpicks and
other hard soils from dishes before loading them in the
dishwasher - Larger and dirtier items are usually best placed on the
bottom rack. Cups, glasses and less soiled items should be
put on the top rack - Place your cutlery in the cutlery basket and avoid over-packing to ensure water can circulate well and rinse all surfaces. This ensures each piece is properly washed, rinsed and dried
- Position your dishes and utensils with the heavily soiled side facing the source of the water spray
- Ensure there is space between items to prevent scratching and chipping
To keep your dishwasher in tip top condition, treat it to a monthly 'detox'. Simply run an empty cycle with Finish Dishwasher Cleaner once a month to eliminate limescale and help clear blocked water jets which can ultimately impair your machine's performance. It is worth it - a cleaner dishwasher means cleaner dishes.
