YSK: Your dishwasher is far more energy / water efficient than you are at washing dishes. Running a dishwasher that is only 25% full will still use less water, on average, than hand washing those dishes. Save water, energy, and time by using your dishwasher instead of washing by hand.

Why YSK: This tip will save you time and money while helping the environment. Depending on the detergent you use, you don’t even have to rinse the dishes before loading them, which saves you even more (just make sure to clean your filter often).

Bonus: if you have an Energy Star dishwasher, it is required that they use no more than 3.5 gallons per cycle (compared to the standard 5 gallons), so your water/energy savings will be even greater.
