As the holiday season approaches and kitchens become busier, many residents wonder whether it is more efficient to wash dishes by hand or use a dishwasher. The answer depends on how dishes are washed.

Hand Washing

• Can be more efficient only when the faucet is turned off while scrubbing.
• Rinsing dishes together helps reduce water use.

Dishwashers

• Typically uses less water than the average hand-washing.
• Run full loads for the highest efficiency.

Both methods can save water, but dishwashers are usually the more efficient option.
