FULL STORY:  It’s election season, and tens of millions of Americans are apparently having arguments . . . over DISHWASHERS?

A vital new poll asked 38,000 Americans, “Have you ever disagreed with someone you share a dishwasher with about how it should be loaded or used?”  34% of people said YES . . . 59% of people said NO . . . and 7% aren’t sure.

Specifically, 39% of people say forks and spoons should be placed facing up . . . 20% say facing down . . . and about 30% say anything goes.  

7% of people say pots and pans should be placed on the top rack . . . 33% say the bottom rack . . . 12% say it doesn’t matter . . . and 40% say they should be washed by hand NOT placed in the dishwasher.

Unfortunately, they didn’t ask about my most common dishwasher debate:  Whether or not to pre-rinse or soak BEFORE putting stuff in the dishwasher.
