I have owned my current dishwasher for about 15 years, and I have never once cleaned it. It's working just fine.

- stn8188 3y agoConversely, my wife insists on not pre-rinsing the dishes and that filter gets real gross, real quick. Unless you mean the spinny arms, never cleaned those before.
- jahewson 3y agoNext you’ll be telling me she doesn’t pre-rinse the laundry before putting it in the washer!
- b112 3y agoI guess the best comparison would be, if you have stuff all over your clothes, you'd probably shake the clothes off before putting them in the washer. EG, I use the 'weed wacker' to cut up stuff, or I am racking leaves, I get pants with plant debris on them. I tend to shake them off first.
- LodeOfCode 3y agoThat'd be the equivalent of scraping your dishes, not rinsing them
- b112 3y agoWell, sorta. I find it easier to rince small stuff off, and that doesn't work with fabric really, but your point is fair.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI don't generally have food waste on my clothes though.
- bluGill 3y agoyou must not have young kids. Food gets everywhere for a while when they are learning to eat.
- fouc 3y agoGiving the filter a quick wash once a week is way less work than pre-rinsing all your dishes. Presumably plates had the leftovers scraped off into the compost bin before putting into dishwasher anyways.
- selcuka 3y agoSome dishwashers have a built-in grinder (similar to garbage disposal units). Yours might be one of those.
- bluGill 3y agoAt 15 years old it probably does have the grinder. They starting going away about then though, so hard to say without doing more digging than I care to.
