7 Signs You Need a Dishwasher

7 Signs You Need a Dishwasher

on

How do you know if you need a dishwasher?

  1. You’re spending too much on washing dishes by hand.
  2. You want cleaner, more sanitized dishes.
  3. Washing dishes is drying your skin or making it itch.
  4. You have dirty dishes stacking up after every meal.
  5. You have a large household, or often have guests over.
  6. You have a very tight schedule.
  7. You often drop or smash fragile dishes.

Unlike some other countries, a dishwasher in the Philippines’ average household is not necessarily an expectation. Most families in our country still choose to wash dishes by hand. 

While there’s nothing wrong with that, it can be very time-consuming, and even harmful if not done properly.

Investing in a dishwasher can save time, water, effort, money, and even the environment, though some might still hesitate to invest in one. Still, if you’ve noticed any of the seven signs we’re about to present, it might be time to start considering one.

You’re spending too much on washing dishes by hand

You’re spending too much on washing dishes by hand

As we said, washing dishes by hand can be very time-consuming, and depending on how it’s done, you might be wasting a lot of water and dishwashing soap as well.

If you have a dishwasher, though, all those things become easier to measure and thus easier to control. The time spent on a dishwashing cycle, the water that goes into each wash, the effort of putting plates and utensils in versus scrubbing them by hand, and the finances you invest are all things you can keep track of, so you know just where your money goes.

You want cleaner, more sanitized dishes

Unfortunately, not everyone washes dishes properly. Food can leave not just stains but also hard-to-remove residue and bacteria on your dishes, so if you don’t scrub them properly, you might be leaving a lot of traces behind.

A dishwasher is scientifically tested and proven to take care of that part for you. Not only does it rinse your dishes with soap and water, but most modern dishwashers also disinfect your plates, bowls, and utensils.

Washing dishes is drying your skin or making it itch

Though exposing your hands to water and soap may seem harmless (and it usually is!), it can cause some problems if you do so too often. 

Dish soap in particular can have lasting effects on the skin of your hands, wrists, and forearms because it can be very drying. That’s why it’s a good idea to wear gloves when you hand wash and make sure to rinse off all the slippery residue of dishwashing soap from your skin. 

Another good idea is to invest in a dishwasher, which of course, does the work for you.

You have dirty dishes stacking up after every meal

If you’re the type to let dishes sit in the sink or on the counter before washing them, you might want a place to put your dirty dishes away. The dishwasher is precisely the right place for that, as it can hold your dirty dishes during the time before you wash them, and keep them out of sight of any guests or unexpected visitors.

You have a large household, or often have guests over

Speaking of guests, if you’re the type of person who regularly hosts get-togethers or parties, it can take up a significant portion of your time and energy to wash the dishes after each one. In this case, a dishwasher becomes less of a want and more of a need—because who wants to spend all that time and get so tired just from doing the dishes?

You have a very tight schedule

If you are always running on so little time, the last thing you want is to spend so much of it on chores that can be avoided. If you’re always on the go, you want to spend your free time relaxing and catching a breath, not worrying about dirty dishes piling up on the sink. 

Investing in a dishwasher can not only help you in that aspect, but it can also even save time, as the time it takes to wash as many dishes by hand is incomparable to the time a dishwasher takes to do so.

You often drop or smash fragile dishes

If you’re the type people say to keep away from any glassware, you probably aren’t allowed near the sink when the dishes get slippery and soapy. But if you’re put in charge, you might want to step back and let an appliance do the job. After all, placing dishes in the washer rack is less risky than lifting the heavy crockery over and over again to scrub it.
