Washing dishes by hand uses more water.

Do you need another reason to avoid that stack of dishes? Relying on a dishwasher — instead of handwashing — saves a lot of water.

If you don’t pre-rinse your dishes, running a full load through the dishwasher will save 35% of the water used to do a load of dishes by hand. Purchase an Energy Star-rated machine and use only biodegradable dish soap, and you’ll be doing even better job eco cleaning!
