7 Reasons to Buy a Dishwasher if You Are a Young Mom

Modern household appliances are usually acquired even by those few who did not have them before having a child. They help reduce some of the responsibilities for young mothers. While a washing machine or vacuum cleaner may no longer surprise anyone, many people still regard a dishwasher as a luxury item. Let's find out what makes it so useful for a young mom?

A Dishwasher Saves Time

The most valuable resource for a young mom is time, which seems to run out for everything else. Simple calculation proves: even if it takes just a couple of minutes to wash one plate or cup, over the course of a day that adds up to more than half an hour. That doesn't even count pots, pans, and baking trays with burnt-on grease and stuck-on food remnants. Instead, you can simply collect dirty dishes in the dishwasher throughout the day and run it just once.

Water Consumption Is Reduced

To wash dishes after dinner for three people, it usually takes 40–50 liters of water. If you also have breakfast and lunch at home, the volume increases two to three times. A dishwasher with a full load uses as little as 10 liters of water, since it draws water in several small portions. As a result, depending on the amount of dirty dishes, you can reduce water consumption by 3 to 10 times.

Antibacterial Treatment of Baby's Dishware

It is impossible to use water hotter than 40 degrees Celsius when washing dishes by hand. With the special 'Hygiene+' cycle, a dishwasher applies hot water for a longer period, which is especially important for families with small children.

Dishwasher Prevents Accidental Opening

When dirty dishes are arranged in a sink or laid out on a table to air dry, there's always a risk that a child might accidentally knock them over. A dishwasher with a lock feature prevents this. The baby won't be able to open the machine or change its program settings on their own. Also, after completion, the dishes can be immediately put away in the cabinet while completely dry.

Modern Appliances Take Up Little Space

You can easily place a dishwasher on even the smallest kitchen, and you don’t need to renovate or buy new cabinets. A variety of models allows for countertop or built-in dishwashers with widths of 60 or 45 cm. There are also compact models that can be placed on a countertop or built into a vertical column.

The Appliance Works Quietly

Modern brushless motors and thoughtful sound insulation make a dishwasher one of the quietest household appliances. Even if you start it in the evening when your child is already tucked into bed.

Takes Care of Your Skin

Thanks to the dishwasher, contact between your skin and household chemicals is minimized, something that is impossible to achieve even when washing dishes with gloves. This allows you to maintain a manicure and soft skin on your hands, which is pleasant for the baby.
