      Yes, and I’ve been disgusted by pieces of food perma-sticked to otherwise clinically clean mugs.

        There are two things to do when loading a dishwasher:

        Give the dishes a rinse so there’s not 1/4th of a meal left on the plate. It’s not a miracle worker.

        Don’t let the dirty plates sit in the machine for long enough for the dirty leftovers to dry out and stick to the plate, that makes it much harder for the machine to clean it. If that happens, run a long program.

        You know that is usually remedies by just not putting plates with half a meal still left on them into the dishwasher.

          So kind of like preparing the plate before putting it in? By rinsing it with water to get rid of any solid parts, at which point I’m two moves of sponge away from having a clean plate?

            Well yes. But if you have for example 20 plates you just quickly rinse them all in a row and put them in the dishwasher. Along with all the other cups and glasses and whatever pots and cutlery you used. Saves a lot of time.

            Yes if you have 2 plates and nothing else I agree it’s easier to just hand wash them.

              Agree to disagree? I have a dishwasher and hate it for daily cleaning, but it does a good job for burned greasy pots or stuff dirty from dough. If it saves your time for daily work, good for you.

        Onto the mugs? I’ve never seen that happen to mugs, plates sure. Either way you can now get a sponge and clean that one problem mug rather than everything. Saves you so much time.

          It transfers from plates to mugs somehow, which makes it extra gross

          I feel like whatever my answer is, it will be the wrong one. I’ll take a risk though: 🇪🇺

              It was happening when it was new so I doubt it’s the filter. I don’t know I don’t use it any more, my spouse does and does the maintenance.

                I see, fair enough. I’m not sure what’s wrong with the one you had. It could be the way things are being packed, eco mode or not enough detergent etc. But if you’re not using it any more then I guess it doesn’t matter ¯_(ツ)_/¯
