In the contemporary fast-paced life, after dinner that pile of greasy dishes, like a lingering nightmare, ruthlessly devoured the limited leisure time. At this point, the Countertop dishwasher is like a heaven-sent kitchen savior, with efficiency and convenience, for us to dispel the haze of housework. However, many people have concerns about it, that the cost is too high. In fact, as long as the scientific and reasonable use of low-cost, table-top dishwasher can become both economic and practical kitchen tool.

1、Pretreatment before meals

Proper pre-processing is a vital first step before putting the dishes in the dishwasher. If the food scraps and oil residue left on the dinner plate enter the dishwasher directly, it will not only block the spray arm and the drainage pipe, but also affect the water circulation and reduce the washing efficiency, also can cause the dishwasher to have to increase the work intensity and the time, increases the energy consumption virtually. Therefore, we only need to spend a few minutes, with a scraper or paper towels to remove food debris, let them be in a clean state for washing. This simple action can significantly reduce the working load of the dishwasher, reduce water and electricity consumption, and lay an efficient foundation for the subsequent washing process.

2、Choose the washing mode cleverly

Countertop dishwashers are often equipped with a variety of washing modes, acting as a versatile cleaning kit. Among them, the energy-saving mode can be called the hidden“Money-saving magic weapon”. By optimizing the washing water temperature, flow intensity and time parameters, the energy saving mode can minimize the energy consumption under the premise of ensuring the cleaning effect. Compared with the high energy consumption mode such as power washing, the energy saving mode can significantly reduce the consumption of electricity and water resources although the washing time is slightly longer. We don't need to sacrifice energy-saving benefits for the pursuit of fast cleaning. We just need to choose a reasonable energy-saving mode according to the degree of dirtiness of tableware, and we can achieve the perfect balance between cleaning and energy saving.

3、Set the table in a scientific way

The internal space of the table-top dishwasher is limited, and the reasonable placement of the tableware is the key to improve the washing efficiency and save resources. Should follow the“Bowl mouth down, Cup mouth side” principle, to ensure that the flow of water can smoothly into the internal tableware, fully contact and dissolve the oil. The large and small pieces of tableware are placed separately to avoid mutual occlusion and ensure that the water flow of the spray arm can evenly cover every corner. At the same time, pay attention to the distance between the utensils, to allow enough space for water circulation. Through scientific placement, the space utilization rate of the dishwasher can be improved, the number of repeated washings can be reduced, and the energy consumption and use cost can be reduced.

4、Use of surplus heat for drying

After washing, it is an environmental and economical drying method to make full use of the residual temperature inside the dishwasher to dry the tableware. When the dishwasher completes the washing process, the internal residual heat as a natural drying room, can continue to evaporate tableware surface moisture. At this point, do not rush to open the dishwasher door, let the dishes in the heat of natural drying 1-2 hours. Compared with the traditional heating and drying function, the residual temperature drying does not require additional energy consumption, and can effectively reduce the electricity cost. The natural drying method is more gentle to the tableware, and can not cause the deformation or damage of the tableware due to the high temperature, which prolongs the service life of the tableware and further reduces the living cost.

Conclusion

The table-top dishwasher is not a costly kitchen appliance. As long as we master scientific methods of use, we can give full play to its advantages from the aspects of pre-meal pretreatment, mode selection, tableware arrangement, and waste heat utilization, achieve low-cost, high-efficiency kitchen cleaning. Let us use wisdom and careful, let the table dishwasher become a kitchen cleaning right-hand man, for family life to bring more convenient and comfortable, open a new chapter of low-cost kitchen cleaning.
