There is no "golden rule" for loading dishes into the dishwasher.

The answer is yes. The golden rule here is to ensure adequate spacing between items, otherwise the water spray system will not be able to reach each dirty plate or bowl.

According to this rule, glasses and glasses should be placed on the top rack. If you are washing wine glasses or other glassware, make sure they do not collide with each other, which can cause breakage.In the cutlery section, the handles of the cutlery should be reversed to allow water to flow in and not cause items to get stuck.

Large dishes should be placed on either side of the bottom rack, otherwise it may hinder the distribution of detergent throughout the machine.

Clean the dishes thoroughly before putting them in the dishwasher.

In fact, modern dishwashers have the function of cleaning up leftover food. However, you still need to make sure that waste such as seeds, bones, etc. are removed, otherwise it will damage the machine.

Dishwashers are a "nest" of bacteria

Dishwashers can indeed collect bacteria, but they are certainly more hygienic than washing dishes by hand. 60°C water may be too hot for your hands, but it is perfectly safe for the dishwasher.
