You can make cleaning your dishes more Earth-friendly by following these simple green tips.
* Run only a full load of dishes through the dishwasher.
* Use a plant-based biodegradable dishwashing detergent. My fave is Biokleen.
* Use the appropriate dishwashing setting.
* Scrap your plates, instead of rinsing them before placing them in the dishwasher.
* Run the dishwasher at night and let them air dry. They will be dry by morning.
Â
If possible, run your major appliances at night between 12 a.m. – 4 a. m. You can do this by setting your dishwasher for a delay start. Also, you save more energy when you run the appliances during off-peak hours.

Great tips!
We always put our dishwasher on “delay start” at night, so it runs after 12:00am
Happy Sunday to you!
