Hi guys
How should I test the performance of my dishwashers and detergents? I have machines ranging from brand new to 45 years old. European and American.
I was thinking of coating dishes with measured amounts of spinach, egg yolk and oats. Pyrex dishes get the same, plus cheese, rice, pasta and milk. Spoons with tea stains and knives with peanut butter.
Then the whole lot baked in the oven for a certain length of time at a certain temperature -- your thoughts?
As a test of the spray coverage, I could place items in both racks. To check for lazy corners in the upper rack, I could place a glass smeared with peanut butter. A sprinkling of sesame seeds to check for redeposit/filtering.
Detergents will range from modern pacs and powders to traditional powders containing phosphate and chlorine. I was planning on using the most intensive cycles available.
What do you think and what would you recommend?
Happy dishwashing!
