Tegis Posted January 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2018 So, a bit bored here but I was emptying the dishwasher at work and the cutlery was all over the place. Whats the correct procedure here? Over to the VT fountain of knowledge (aka, how does one wipe ones arse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Never had a dishwasher so can't comment! Always thought they were a bit of a luxury item. Probably more for the middle classes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lapal_fan Posted January 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2018 Forks and knives up you dirty really bad people. And before people say "but it cuts me" - then you're a stupid idiot. It doesn't clean stuff which is hiding and all bunched up, upside down. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Down, toddlers and adults have been seriously injured falling on knives sticking up in dishwashers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2018 Place into bowl of water with washing up liquid, wipe clean, place in rack to dry, wipe with tea towel, place in drawer. Orientation doesn't much matter*. *Has never owned a dishwasher, has been used as a dishwasher and been related to people known to wash dishes from time to time, and hates the way dishwashers make glass feel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know those little holes in the utensil tray which don't fit anything in them, because you're jamming the BIG end of the utensil in them? They're for the handles of the utensils you gorilla!

Paddywhack Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I load them up, but I don't think it matters. If a fork is still dirty because it was put in downwards then it's a rubbish dishwasher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 UP UP UP! They don't fit point down and even if you can get the knives in, they won't clean as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the correct procedure here? Over to the VT fountain of knowledge (aka, how does one wipe ones arse) Let's keep these things as separate threads. It would be a bad move to get confused and use the former procedure on the latter operation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
