I’m a home expert – the right way to load your dishwasher will make your dishes sparkle
ANYONE with a dishwasher in their home knows just how much of a genius invention it is.
But did you know that there’s a proper way to load it and make sure every single dish comes out squeaky clean?
Well, according to home expert Mallory Hudson, each rack has a specific function.
FIRST RACK
The guru claimed on a social media video that all of your glasses, mugs, bowls, and plastic containers should go on the top rack.
But before calling it a day, make sure they are facing down on the rack.
SECOND RACK
The bottom rack is made specifically for bakeware, pots, and plates.
You should also place your silverware in the holder facing upwards, according to Mallory’s method.
Additionally, she advised against putting knives in the dishwasher because they can get dull.

She also claimed stainless steel pots were fine to place in the dishwasher, but she hand washes any others.
Some people agreed with Mallory’s efficient method, like one who wrote: “Why would anyone do it differently,” and someone else who added: “This is exactly how I do it.”
However, others had their own opinions on the best way to load a dishwasher.
