Get sparkling, clean dishes with Fairy products and the Candy app
It is a common opinion that it is necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. According to a study conducted in 2020 by Fairy - a Procter & Gamble brand - 36% of dishwasher users in the United Kingdom rinse, soak and scrub the dishes by hand with soap and water before loading them into the dishwasher. In Spain, this percentage rises to 57%, whilst in Italy it reaches 67%. But is it really necessary to waste all this water and time?
Why the experts suggest avoiding pre-rinsing
Fairy, one of the leading dishwasher detergents available in Europe, puts sustainability at the heart of its innovation project and constantly looks into how to reduce the environmental footprint of its products. Fairy's research has shown that a significant part of the environmental footprint of dishwashing is related to the temperature set and the volume of water consumed.
It turned out that pre-washing is one of the most expensive practices. Without pre-washing, almost 1.3 billion litres of water could be saved in Europe - the equivalent of more than 200 Olympic swimming pools! All this waste is completely pointless and entirely avoidable. Recent innovations - such as sensors that detect the level of dirt in dishwashers and the new dishwasher detergent formula developed by Fairy - make pre-washing not only a waste, but also a pointless and counterproductive operation.
How to get sparkling, clean dishes without pre-washing
All you have to do is remove the food scraps from the dishes, throw them in the bin or compost and let the dishwasher take care of everything else.
