Dishwashers have become an integral part of modern kitchens and are now standard equipment. After all, they make the tedious washing up easier. Drying is usually no longer necessary either, but you have to wait a relatively long time. There is a simple trick you can use to make wet dishes dry faster in the dishwasher.

Dry wet dishes from the dishwasher faster

All you need is a simple tool that everyone probably has in the kitchen: a dry cotton cloth. After opening the machine, simply place the cloth halfway over the door and close it again. Now, you just have to wait a few minutes. The cloth absorbs the moisture from the dishwasher so that the dishes are dry after a short time.

Put dishes away correctly so that they dry faster

It is also important to load the dishes into the dishwasher correctly so that they are no longer wet after a cycle. What exactly does that mean? Pots, glasses, cups, and bowls should always be positioned so that the water can drain away easily – i.e., at an angle or with the opening facing downwards.

Too many dishes can also prevent water from draining away, which in turn leads to wet dishes after a dishwasher cycle.
