How often do you run your dishwasher?

[DesertMoon]

I used to every night, so I wouldn't wash ANY dishes all day. Now I try to keep up and I run it a few times a week. I was wondering what most women do.

do you always wash all dishes by hand? Always use the dishwasher? A bit of both? On use the dishwasher when you have guests and a butt load of dishes and pots and pans? Or do you just use paper plates 4lyfe,

Every night.

Every day. I'm lazy as hell at night.

[AndyCohen]

Once a week, it used to be once every two weeks when we ordered out more.

[honeybee503]

Every night.

I haven't washed a dish by hand in probably 7 years. I'm not kidding.

We hand wash the pots and pans and bigger dishes (always done right after dinner) and run the dishwasher about every other day.

This. The girls fly through their plastic bowls, so I might hand wash those if I notice they don't have any, and the dishwasher isn't really full yet.

Everything goes in the dishwasher. Everything.

We run it every day if we are home. Every other day when we get takeout or go out to eat.

Hand wash pots and pans here, run the dishwasher every other night. I'm sure it will be every night once I start pumping and giving bottles.

Every other day. That said, I hand wash pretty much everything before I put it in the dishwasher. I realize that this defeats the purpose of the dishwasher, but they come out still dirty if I dont

This exactly.

This summer, because we've been home, we run it daily. Starting next week it will be every other day

[devonpow]

Every 1-2 days. Only when it's jam packed full, but the 4 of us go through a LOT of dishes.

Twice a week. We handwash pots and pans right away after dinner. I also usually handwash his bowls, plates, forks and spoons unless I know I'll be running the dishwasher soon.

[jfh]

Every night. In the summer it gets kind of smelly if we let it sit overnight with dirty dishes in it. We wash very little by hand - pots & pans only if the d/w is totally full.

Around every other day. We had wash most large pots/pans.

[DesertMoon]

Does anyone run it if it's not full?

[Deleted]
