How often do you run the dishwasher?

[Deleted]

I run mine about every 2-3 days.  Just curious about others.

it is also dependent on how many people live in your house, wouldn't you say? The two of us warrant running the dishwasher every 4-5 days...once there are children, most likely more often!

Yes, of course it is.  I just wanted a basic poll, that's all.

Every day. There are two of us and two pets. Cat goes through 4 (!!!) bowls of food per day and *will not* eat out of a dirty bowl. I don't hand wash anything except knives and I cook/bake often.

Every night now that I WAH. It used to be every 2-3 days.

[orangeblossom]

Daily. Sometimes twice.

Daily. Rare occasions more than once a day. I use it for bottles since the temperature gets hot enough to sterilize them after every use. Not necessary but my kid drops things and we have a cat with no boundaries.

We run it every 2-3 days on average.  It's just the two of us, but my DH goes through so many dishes in a day!  He'll use a new cup for every drink, I swear.

Every day. But I have kids.

[InBetweenDays]

Family of 4 and we generally run it every other day.

Daily, 4 people all eating at home, except for eh, but his packed lunch actually makes more dishes. Twice a day if I am baking or canning.

[hbomdiggity]

just the 2 of us + H rarely uses a plate = 1x week.

[boiler717]

I would say nearly every day, 2 people but I WFH.

[IIOY]

Every day.

I often have a little empty space but my two kids use bento box style lunch kits, and I despise cleaning every single piece by hand. Otherwise we could probably get away with once every 1.5-2 days.

[lightbulbsun]

Every 4-5 days. It's just H and me, so we don't use that many dishes.

[emoflamingo]

@callmefia, she totally took a mini meatloaf off the table when H wasn't looking. I told him he had to make sure he didn't leave food on the table because she once stole a huge hunk of roast when my mom left one on the table when I was younger.

Guess who had to clean up the mess both times? Damn cat.

[housegeek]

We run it daily to every other day. But we use paper plates fairly often ( and since we've been out, paper towels) for lunch and some breakfasts.

Once a day for sure. No question. Often times twice. During busy season when im packing lunches like crazy ive done 3. But I also have a kid and four other people in and out who need dishes. I also hanswash very little.

Id die without my dishwasher..lol.

Daily with 3 kids.

[Marmee]

1-2 times a day. 2 adults & 4 kids
