The number thing I hate most about washing dishes is when they are still dirty after a full cycle in the dishwasher. I often wonder if it would just be easier to clean my dishes by hand. To get my dishes really clean I have to pre-wash them before putting them in the washer. It basically defeats the whole purpose of the dishwasher and I use twice the amount of water.
Dishwasher Tips
Run Tap Water First
For sparkling clean dishes, run your kitchen's hot water tap before starting the dishwasher to make sure the water entering the machine has reached its highest temperature.
Scrape, Don't Rinse
Scrape your dishes because the enzymes in your detergent that soften burnt-on food need to cling to protein/starch, such as egg and oatmeal, in order to work properly.
Load Properly
Cups, glasses and less soiled items should be placed on the top rack. Generally, larger and dirtier items are best on the bottom rack.
I want first to say that the new Finish Quantum tabs are no joke. There is some heavy duty washing power in each of the little tabs that are noticeably packaged differently than other tablets.
Finish Quantum has a multi-Chamber system that is pre-measured and wrapper free. This technology separates 3 powerful active ingredients, releasing them when needed in the dishwashing cycle.
1. Powerball with Jet-Dry Gel for an amazing shine
2. Powermax Bleach removes stains like tea and coffee
3. Powerful Enzymes soften burnt-on food like lasagna
I can honestly say my dishes have never looked cleaner. The glass was perfectly spot-free, and everything was completely dry. The difference is like night and day from my old dishwashing tabs. I do not normally use any type of drying agent, but after seeing just how dry my dishes were I am sold on the benefit of using it.

I don't have a dishwasher is what I hate about doing dishes.

It's a job that doesn't stay done. One meal and there they are dishes with sticky, gummy, food stuck all over. Blaah. Nasty.

What I hate most about washing dishes is the time it takes. My boys like to hide their gross cereal bowls in their rooms and after a few days I will find them with pieces of cereal stuck on. It is not fun to wash by hand or in the diswasher because it is so stuck on.
Nanette Olson
I have a dishwasher and it works great if I feed it good quality dish detergents. I would love to try these.
Adrienne Gordon
recleaning them after the dishwasher doesnt get all the gunk off.
Carol G
It isn't the dishes themselves (whether with a dishwasher or by hand) but I really hate it when people don't scrape and either stack the dishes neatly or put them into the dishwasher.

I think the worse part is just the thought of doing them. Once I start it's not as bad as I thought it was. The thing that I hate to clean most are pans that I cooked something in for hours in the oven so the food is nice and baked on.
Stephanie V
Doing them! Have to practically hand wash them before I put them in dishwasher because it doesn't work well. Total pain in my hands!
Kelly Ann T.
I hate doing the big pots and pans. I buy in bulk and then cook and freeze so I have all these large messy pans to clean.

We saved up to purchase a fancy Whirlpool dishwasher after our old one died (after only 3 years!!). For about 2 years we were happy with it, then we received a letter in the mail that had a recall on the door, the WHOLE inside of the door. To fix this issue they sent out new door guts....that we have to replace because there is a fire issue if you use jet dry, or the like, in it. We have no clue how to replace this, seriously I was so upset. So now the guts are still sitting in the garage and we no longer use jet dry in our dishwasher, we only use the detergent with the little balls. So frustrating but I do still love my dishwasher because it does a good job.
Alicia Webster
What I hate most about washing dishes is that it makes my dry skin even worse than it normally is. We have an older dishwasher, so I feel that it is necessary to wash the dishes in the sink before I load them in the dishwasher, This means that my hands are soaking in water at least three times a day, in addition to all the other water-related housework that I do. I apply cream to my hands constantly, but it doesn't help very much.
Carol Ellis
I love my new dishwasher. It even has a sanitizer on it so I never worry about dirty dishes again.
tung ton
dishpan hands (and the smell...)
Peter Piotto
For twenty year my wife and I wash the dishes by hand. We hated that so much that we would a long as possible to wash them. A year ago we bought a dishwasher and had it installed. we now almost use it everyday.
We hated the mess of dirty dishes sitting in the sink and counters, now we can put them in the dishwasher and they are gone.
Dee
When it comes to dishwashing I do not like the fact that my hands get rough and dry.

I hate the way it makes my nails weak and they inevitably end up breaking off after I've done the dishes.
carol~
I don't enjoy doing it all the time every day! It's just a messy business and people put dirty dishes in the wrong side of the sink so food gets stuck in the drain. Plus, it would be nice if others in the house help out and that doesn't happen too often! Plus, many times the dishes don't look that great out of the dishwasher.
Brian E.
I hate it when unloading the dishwasher, you are invariably splashed with a "soup" of food particle laden water that has collected on the top of the now clean coffee mugs, glasses, bowls, etc. This, after doing your "green" duty by allowing the load to air dry !!!
Can you tell my wife makes me do the dishes ?

When I get lazy I leave dishes to soak. If I wait too long they end up smelling horrible. Then you have to scrub hard dishes that are smelly.

I hate ALL of it! I just wish dishes would magically clean themselves. I can't stand making a meal and then having to clean up afterwards. A dishwasher is a lifesaver though so I am thankful I have mine...I guess one of the worst parts is seeing the food come off the plates..kinda nasty!
