Are the Dishes Clean or Dirty?

RE: Are the Dishes Clean or Dirty? Post By Diane C- Modesto, CA. (Guest Post) (01/05/2008) I use 2 dragon fly magnets. 1 is brown-(dirty dishes), the other is pink (clean dishes). Just don't forget to change the pink magnet to brown when your done unloading the clean dishes. RE: Are the Dishes Clean or Dirty? Post By Ann (Guest Post) (10/08/2006) I never use the dry cycle in my dishwasher. I unlatch it, and dry the bottoms of the cups with my tea towel, then let them air dry. (that way, there isn't a stain from the puddle on the bottoms of the cups) Then, I just drape the tea towel over top of the cups in the upper rack until someone (usually me! grrr) puts them away. If it's incovenient to leave the door open, I just push it up so that it is partially closed enough not to fall open, but leaving a bit of space for air to dry the rest.

I went to the office supply store & bought for practically pennies, a clip-on name badge. I took a bright colored index card and printed on one side DIRTY and on the other side CLEAN, and slipped it into the plastic sleeve on the badge. When the dishwasher is open I clip the badge to the edge of the top rack where it is very visible, indicating whether they are dirty or clean. Lately I just clip the proper side showing from a cuphook on the wall above the dishwasher & that works just as well.
