Earlier, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/lifestyle-how-much-dishwasher-detergent\/\">my post from July 14, 2025,<\/a> I mention the advantage of using enough dishwasher detergent.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt used to be that, when I would run the dishwasher, there were debris left behind afterwards; although the dishes were clean, the bottom of the dishwasher wasn&#8217;t. However, especially since the declogging of the sink drain mentioned in my Jan 18 post, the dishwasher is always clean at the bottom after it&#8217;s been run. Not only are the dishes clean, but the bottom and sides of the dishwasher itself are, also.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt seems that the combination of the drain being clear, along with using enough dishwasher detergent, facilitates the dishwasher to work properly. This may seem like common sense, but it&#8217;s taken awhile to get this set up.<\/p>\n<p>\nInteresting, eh?<\/p>\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-tutoring about dishwasher use: the tutor mentions some hints.
