Which uses less water?Washing dishes as oposed to dishwasher?
It depends. If you live on your own it is probably easier, cheaper and more economical to wash dishes by hand after each meal - but don't leave the tap running and do not overfill the sink with hot water (if anything, use a plastic bowl and also use the water to wipe down the cooker and surfaces too).
If you are washing up for a family, a dishwasher is more economical, especially if you load it throughout the day, run it overnight and unload it in the morning. Just make sure you scrape every scrap of food off the plates before loading the dishwasher.Washing dishes as oposed to dishwasher?
Conventional for ecology, and it's actually quicker and cheaper.
Probably using the dishwasher every other day. Saves your hands too hehe.
Dishwashers are environmentally very un-friendly, I sold my slimline Bosch one as I never used it, it's far better to use your hands, also stops you becomming lazy.
Apparently washing dishes. But I reckon if you just make sure you fill up your dish washer before turning it on (to the eco cycle!) you're doing alright!
the dishwasher.
It p's me off that my kitchen is too small to fit a dishwasher
How do you wash the same number of dishes in the dishwasher every couple of days as you do everyday by hand? Do you eat off dirty dishes the other days that you're not using the dishwasher?
IF your hot water heater is electric or gas it dosen't matter. (right now gas is cheeper) BUT....
Using the dishwasher uses LESS Electricity or gas than the hot water you waste washing and rinsing dishes by hand.
Using the dishwasher (newer model, less than 4-years old, approx.) also uses LESS water than doing dishes by hand.
for everyday- dishwasher
if u use the dishwasher 1 a week and would wash the dishes everyday probably the sink...
It may be but the savings are negligible; anyway it's not good hygiene to leave crockery around for 2/3 days. Washing up after every meal is good housekeeping.
It would depend on a few things.
One method is to fill your sink, place the washed, but un-rinsed dishes in a separate basin. Once all of the dishes are washed, you rinse them and then (ideally) use a third basin to disinfect them, and let them air dry. This method uses a minimum amount of water. If you would only be running the dishwasher every three or four days, you would need to use longer cycles and these use more water and energy.
If you run the dishwasher, full and every two days (or more often) and you have a newer, energy star one, then you are most likely better off using the dishwasher.
the dishwasher
If my husband is doing the dishes, he uses the most water - all of it on the floor, the work surface and himself! So in our house, the dishwasher is more economical - providing it's fully loaded.
washing in the sink. oh sorry l forget l have a 2 leged dishwasher its called a hubby.
It may depend upon your dishwasher, how much water it uses to wash/rinse a load...and how you hand wash your dishes...do you leave the water running when you wash and/or rinse? Do you fill the sink with soapy water on one side, clear water on the other side and that's all that is used? Do you use water rinsing your dishes before they go in the dishwasher? If so, count that water used as part of that whole process...soak some dishes before washing them (by hand or dishwasher?), if so, there's additional water use.
Dishwashers typically use less water than washing up the old fashioned way !
They also clean dishes better and prevent bacteria etc remaining as they wash at high temperatures whereas to wash up in the kitchen sink we would use water that is merely ';hand hot'; and often a lot cooler than the water used in a dishwasher. Therefore not killing off bacteria and giving a really good clean.
All in all dishwashers are better.
You have the right idea! Hand washing is great (uses more water) if you don't just stand there and leave the water run but, if you have allot of dishes, the dishwasher is more economical, you may not want to have a hot dry cycle, it uses lots of electric.
dishwashers are for lazy people.hand washing gets them cleaner
i dont know my wife is my dish washer,, costs nothing but does require a regular service
a dishwash if u get the right 1 and put it on the right setting.
Handwashed dishes
it's a question of ecconomy over cleanliness I think. I certainly wouldnt want to wait a couple of days while my dishwasher filled up with old food rotting away on the plates - unless you rinse them before putting them in, and that use water!
I have a dishwasher called Nikki!!
And to answer the rest of the question! If you use your dishwasher once a month then you would use less water!! So yes dishwasher then!!
handwashing uses less electricity and electricity cost is higher than water.
there`s nothing better than washing up your dishes yourself. i think it`s lazy and too easy touse a dishwasher, i`m the dishwasher
washing by hand saves water and electricity. if you can, rinse your dishes clean, leave stand untill you have a sink full, or untill you warm your water for a bath. whilst having a bath, leave your dishes soak in the sink. when finished with your bath; wipe and rinse dishes, then leave them to drip dry, as drying with a cloth is un-hygenic
