We have all been there, trying to load a dishwasher but not being sure whether a particular piece of cutlery or glassware is supposed to be loaded one particular way or another.

The information provided clarifies the ways in which we are and aren’t supposed to be loading our dishes and other utensils while loading a dishwasher.

With that being said, the infographic also highlights the dishwasher loading practices we shouldn’t follow; for instance, one must not place glasses and mugs horizontally.
