The source of a lot of tension in our house, centers around the humble dishwasher.
I have my way, which is organized, everything in its right place, rinse the dishes once – way. My wife, has her own way, which can be only described in one word as – chaotic.
So I read this article by Wall Street Journal, and I was delighted to note that this issue isn’t just in my house. Almost every household has the same fight.
Do you have a favourite way to load the dishwasher? Does it lead to fights in your house too?

Would like to have read the article but I’m not paying for the pleasure!
Ditto to Shari, above.
My problem with dishwasher loading instructions is that I don’t have the same items as shown in the photos. I have 4 different sized people in the house and they use differently sized crockery, drinkware and utensils – not to mention lunchboxes, medicine cups, food containers, bakeware…. Loading would be extremely easy if the 4 of us used only 4 cups, 4 glasses, 4 plates, 4 bowls. But life isn’t like that!
It would be nice if you would warn in advance that the link requires you to get a news subscription before you can read an article. I am not that interested.
Not only that but it you have an old dishwasher, you can’t put large items on the bottom because the water never reaches the top and item on top do not get clean. Plates and flatware on the bottom. Glasses and bowls on top – that’s our motto. Pre-rinse optional, depending on how much is going in. 😉
