Green Tip: Stop Pre-Washing
Save time, energy, money, AND water with this tip. Are you still washing your dishes before you wash them in the dish washer? I’ll admit that some dishwashers don’t do a great job, but most do and those that don’t may need to be replaced with a new energy and cleaning efficient one. This can save as much as 20 gallons of water my skipping the pre-wash! Scrape the bulk off and let the dishwasher do the heavy work for you and you’ll save water and energy used to heat that water as well as your own time and energy!

Interesting tip. It’s so habitual that I always pre-wash – to the point where sometimes I wonder why I even have a dish washer. However, I’m going to test it a few times without pre-wash and see how it goes!
