In the fast-paced modern life, The Dishwasher is like an invisible housekeeper in the kitchen, quietly assume the responsibility of cleaning after meals. It is like a tireless cleaning wizard, quietly assume the responsibility of washing dishes after dinner, let us from the tedious housework, have more time to enjoy the beauty of life. However, when full of expectations to turn on the dishwasher, but found that the dishes still remain stubborn oil and food residue, as if the pocket poured a pot of cold water, the mood suddenly fell to the bottom. Why the dishwasher can not be"Clean"? What is the scientific mystery behind this? Let us embark on this journey of exploration, revealing the mystery of dishwasher cleaning.

1.Improper placement of tableware
When The Dishwasher is running, the spray arm dances like an active dancer, with a strong and regular flow of water, moving from dish to dish to remove stains. However, the way the cutlery is laid out directly affects the flow of the cleaning dance. If the tableware placed disorderly, as in the stage set many obstacles, hinder the free movement of the spray arm. For example, the bowl mouth is flat on the shelf, the water can not go deep inside the bowl, only to linger outside the bowl, so that the stain at the bottom of the bowl can survive; the pot is lying across the spray arm, as if the middle of the road erected a barrier, water flow can not be smoothly through, resulting in other tableware cleaning is also affected. The correct way to place should follow a certain order, the mouth of the bowl is inclined down 45 ° , so that the water flow forms a strong scour angle; the pot is placed on the side, leaving enough working space for the spray arm; small items such as knives and forks should be inserted into special racks, avoid mutual occlusion. Only when the tableware is in its proper place, can the spray arm give full play to its cleaning effect and achieve efficient decontamination.
2.Insufficient or excessive amount of detergent
Detergent is the dishwasher cleaning magic potion, the precise control of its dosage is essential. When the dosage is insufficient, the active ingredients in the detergent can not give full play to their role, and can not effectively decompose and remove stains, resulting in dirty tableware, and may also residual odor, affecting the use experience. But the dosage is excessive, can trigger a series of chain reaction. Too much foam can build up inside the dishwasher, spilling out and fouling the kitchen floor and interfering with the machine's normal operation. The Dishwasher judges the cleaning degree by detecting the amount of foam. Too much foam will make it mistakenly think that the cleaning has been completed, and stop working in advance, thus affecting the cleaning effect. Therefore, according to the number of tableware and the degree of stains, precise control of the amount of detergent, is the key to achieve perfect cleaning.

3.Accumulation of scale
In hard water areas, the water is high in calcium and magnesium ions. When the dishwasher heats the water, these ions combine with the carbonates in the water to form scale. Scale like a stubborn layer of armor, quietly attached to the dishwasher heating pipe, reduce heating efficiency, so that the water temperature can not reach the ideal cleaning temperature. High temperature is an important factor in the effective removal of oil and bacteria, water temperature is not enough, the cleaning effect of natural greatly reduced. At the same time, the scale will block the spray arm pores, so that the water flow becomes weak, like a dancer bound hands and feet, unable to form a strong scouring force. Long-term accumulation, the scale will also corrode the internal parts of dishwashers, shorten its life. Regular use of soft water salt to soften the water quality, or the use of special scale cleaner to remove scale, is to maintain the dishwasher cleaning ability, an important measure to extend its service life.
4.Improper choice of procedure
Dishwasher procedures, like doctor's prescriptions for different ailments, need to be chosen precisely according to the actual state of the cutlery. If the wrong procedure is chosen, it is like giving a cold patient a medicine for stomach problems. Not only will it not cure the disease, it may even backfire. For lightly oiled dishes, such as glasses and shallow dishes, choose a quick washing procedure, which can not only save time and water and electricity, but also meet the cleaning needs; for heavily oiled pots and pans, etc. , you need to choose a strong washing process, through high temperature, high pressure water flow and long time washing, completely remove stubborn stains. In addition, there are some special procedures, such as pre-washing, energy-saving washing, etc. , can be selected according to different use scenarios and needs. Only according to the actual situation of tableware, select the appropriate procedures, in order to make the dishwasher to play a maximum cleaning efficiency.

Conclusion
The Dirty Dishwasher isn't a fault in itself, it's that we may be missing some crucial details in the process. When we understand these causes, and take action to address them, we can restore The Dishwasher's power as a truly reliable"Cleaning partner" in the kitchen.
