In recent years, there have been many myths and false statements that have spread about the use and operation of modern dishwashers. For this reason, the leading brand of household appliances in Europe, Beko, has decided to dismantle these false myths about the dishwasher one by one, to help get the most out of this important kitchen device.
Faced with the current health panorama, much more time is now spent at home using household appliances. Everyone wants to save energy and money on their electricity bill at the end of the month, but, unfortunately, some false claims about energy consumption and other aspects have spread.
In this sense, Beko has decided to dismantle certain myths so that homes can optimally enjoy household appliances, especially one as important as a dishwasher.
Top false claims about dishwashers
Modern appliances have managed to raise the quality of life of millions of homes around the world. Nowadays, there is a device for almost everything that makes everyday tasks easier.
One of these appliances is the dishwasher: a device capable of cleaning and sanitizing even the dirtiest dishes. The multiple functions that the most modern ones have allow you to save time and money in this very important household task.
Therefore, below is a brief list of some of the most widespread false myths about the use of dishwashers, dismantled by the Turkish appliance manufacturer, Beko.
“You save more water by washing dishes by hand”
Without a doubt, this is one of the oldest beliefs in today’s society. However, several studies have confirmed that while a large dishwasher can use only 12 liters of water in a cycle, when washing dishes by hand in the sink, up to approximately 30 liters of water can be lost.
Modern dishwashers like the Beko DEN38530XAD dishwasher are designed to efficiently optimize time, water and detergent, leaving dishes sparkling and sanitized.
“It is necessary to rinse the dishes by hand in the sink”
If this were true, then there would be no point in making an investment in purchasing a modern dishwasher. These devices are made to effectively clean all dishes, from glassware to smaller utensils such as forks or knives.
However, Beko recommends scraping or removing large food scraps from pots or plates before placing them in the dishwasher.
“Filling the dishwasher completely is a way to save water and energy”
This myth is not valid even for the rest of the appliances available on the market. Abusing the load capacity of a dishwasher can affect its operation in the medium or long term.
In addition, it is important to take care of the way dishes and other utensils are placed in the equipment. The appliance manufacturer Beko recommends efficiently distributing the dishes throughout the equipment, using the upper and lower rack.The goal is that none of the utensils retain water.
“The dishwasher damages the glassware”
The origin of this false myth is unknown. The most modern dishwasher models now have special programs for washing the most delicate glassware.
However, Beko claims that there is no reason for glassware to spoil in dishwashers. In fact, one of the most recent from the Turkish manufacturer, DEN38530XAD features SoftYouch shelves. This delicate stemware holding system prevents delicate glassware from breaking due to colliding with other utensils.
“Bacteria proliferate in dishwashers”
Studies have revealed that the sponge, which is used to wash dishes by hand in the sink, is the main breeding ground for bacteria in a kitchen. With a dishwasher, people enjoy cleaner and more hygienic dishes. Of course, as with other household appliances, it is important to ensure that it is clean.
On the other hand, the different washing programs that modern dishwashers incorporate are capable of eliminating all types of bacteria, thanks to the high washing temperatures of each cycle.
