Dishwasher Loading Sparks Arguments In Most Households

Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 8:00 PM

A survey of 2,000 adults reveals 61% have argued over dishwasher usage with household members. The disputes most commonly involve partners at 79%, followed by children at 14%. Top disagreements include overfilling the appliance, cutlery stacking methods, and pre-rinsing requirements. Nearly half (46%) have restacked after disagreeing with someone else's loading technique, while 92% feel confident in their own skills. Arguments have serious consequences: 18% stopped speaking to the person they disagreed with, and 10% questioned continuing to live together. The typical household runs five dishwasher cycles weekly but only fills it completely four times. (Story URL)
