Your dishwasher is the MVP of kitchen appliances, if you ask us. The right dishwasher can take a ton of work off your plate, so to speak. But most people miss a hidden dishwasher setting that can make things even easier for you.
Our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab spend tons of time analyzing different dishwashers and appliances. They know what the best dishwashers are, and how anyone can get the most out of their appliance. And if you're tired of having to shake or wipe water off your dishes after the dishwasher cycle is through, the experts have clued us in on a setting you'll want to look for.
Here's the pro tip: The next time you're ready to start the dishwasher, take a look at all the buttons. You'll most likely find an "extra dry" setting, whether it's labeled 'Dry+,' 'Pro Dry,' 'Extended Dry' or some other variation. When the cycle is over, your dishes will be clean and dry. The more you know, right?
And if you've been missing this setting the whole time, don't worry. Although it might seem obvious, it's pretty easy to mindlessly press 'Start' without even thinking about what else your machine can do.
