How-To Save Money in Your Home: Use a Dishwasher More Efficiently
Conserving water, even if it’s a small amount can make a huge difference overall, especially if you live in an arid climate such as a hot desert or dry valley. For example, using a dishwasher to wash dishes. Using a dishwasher can save yourself a lot of time and money that would otherwise be spent washing the dishes out by hand. However, using the dishwasher often can also be quite costly. Unless your home has an energy efficient dishwasher, the cost of using a traditional dishwasher can rack up your electric bill on your monthly utility statement.
Try washing eating utensils and larger dishes out by hand, such as; pots and pans, salad bowls, and even regular sized dinner plates. Using the dishwasher to only clean smaller dishes will clean them more efficiently due to the absence of larger dishes that would have otherwise, obstructed the circulation of water inside the dishwasher. The dishwasher would also be used less often resulting in a reduction in water usage and a decrease in the water utility bill in addition to the monthly electric bill.
