Ah I could gag just thinking about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357762 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 09:58:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 357762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rinse them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357754 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 09:57:09 +0000 Arden 357754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dishwasher doesn't get them clean enough if we don't, so yes.

I think that's a waste of time. Might as well hand wash it by that point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357708 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 09:41:04 +0000 Minnie_Girl 357708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I don't expect dishwashers to scrub my dishes for me...we have a really nice dishwasher and it still leaves flecks of food behind if we're not careful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357706 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 09:40:38 +0000 Smurfette 357706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, we have to pre-rinse or they don't come out clean. Esp if during the week and it is just me, takes all week to load it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357690 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 09:31:58 +0000 tororojo 357690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rinse first; crusty stuff on dishes grosses me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357598 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:49:55 +0000 autumnlove 357598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rinse if there are chunks of food stuck on them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357589 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:45:31 +0000 JerricaBenton 357589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cheese or oatmeal or sticky things like that get a scrub. Most everything gets a good rinse before going in. I don't put pots and pans in the dishwasher so they all get scrubbed or soaked in Bon Ami (the BEST!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357574 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:40:29 +0000 prettylizy 357574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we're lazy about that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357573 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:40:29 +0000 BelugaBean 357573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we do. A lot of times if we don't, it'll come out with stuff still somewhat on it. We'd rather just take the time to kind of get anything that's stuck off of the plate first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357569 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:39:04 +0000 LemonLong 357569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not unless there is still a ton of food on them. Our dishwasher is brand new though. We also let our dog "pre-rinse" as we load the dishwasher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357554 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:28:45 +0000 DillonLion 357554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dishwasher isn't powerful enough to clean the dishes without a pre-wash from us in the sink. Sometimes I try to be lazy and skip the pre-wash step, and then they come out of the dishwasher still dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357547 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:13:52 +0000 Adira 357547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: haha, I don't know!

I guess it's a waste of time if you have a fancy schmancy dishwasher.... but with ours you need to or the dishes don't get clean enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rinse-or-scrub-dishes-by-hand-before-putting-them-into-the-dishwasher#post-357513 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 07:53:20 +0000 mrbee 357513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, when there is food stuck to the dishes. Someone once told me that it was a waste of time, but I stand by it!</p> <p>Do you rinse or scrub dishes by hand before putting them into the dishwasher? </p>
