Science solves dishwasher loading dispute

The video tutorial explains the best way to pack a dishwasher for optimal cleaning. It suggests arranging dishes in a circular pattern with cutlery in the center. Protein-heavy dishes should be placed at the edges and lower in the machine, while carbohydrate-based dishes should be in the center or on top shelves. The video also discusses how water velocity affects cleaning and warns against overloading the dishwasher, which can prevent proper cleaning.

What is the recommended pattern for packing a dishwasher?

• Linear pattern with cutlery on the sides

• Circular pattern with cutlery in the center

• Random pattern with cutlery on top

• Zigzag pattern with cutlery at the bottom

Where should protein-heavy dishes be placed in a dishwasher?

• In the center of the machine

• On the top shelves

• Near the water jets

• At the edges and lower in the machine

Why should carbohydrate-based dishes be placed in the center or on top shelves?

• To save space for larger dishes

• To prevent them from breaking

• To avoid detergent contact

• To be closer to water jet sprays

How does water velocity affect cleaning in a dishwasher?

• Higher velocity water breaks down proteins

• Velocity has no impact on cleaning

• Lower velocity water cleans carbohydrates

• Higher velocity water helps clean carbohydrates

What is a consequence of overloading a dishwasher?

• Water usage is reduced

• Dishes are cleaned more efficiently

• Water cannot reach all dish surfaces

• Detergents work more effectively
