We seldom rinse before putting plates in the DW. BTW we have only

We also have had nothing but Whirlpool and we also seldom rinse. Instead,
we use the
"Puppydog Pre-wash" cycle...



Our Great Dane loves to review what goes into the dishwasher but we do
not allow her to lick the dishes. Her head easily hovers way over the
dining room table and we felt that she might feel that licking dishes on
the table would be the next step. She can actually look down into the
kitchen sink with all four feet on the floor.

When I was a kid, we had an Irish Setter named Maggie. All plates went
to the floor, and she did the pre-cleaning with great energy and
efficiency. This bothered some friends, but nobody in the family was
bothered.

Never had a problem with her grabbing things off the table. Not that
we would leave her alone with so much temptation.

It's interesting that some people are bothered by dogs licking plates. These same people wouldn't think twice about eating from a plate that was washed after it held raw meat or a bowl that was washed after it held that moldy macaroni from the back of the fridge.

Do they think that dog saliva is somehow worse than raw meat juices? No, they don't think it is because they don't even think about it in that way. They simply say "Yuck" and get all grossed out.

They do lick they're ass, but as my sister the nurse said "A dog ass
is cleaner than your mouth".

Even if their ass was the nastiest place on earth, the fact remains that the dishes (hopefully) aren't being put back in the cabinet after the dog licks them clean.

Raw meat, dog's ass, salmonella filled eggs, who cares? If the dishes are being properly washed before the next use, I really don't who or what was in them prior to the washing.

Some folks apparently do.
