My personal choice is the Jack Russell test: If he gets inside the dishwasher it’s probably dirty. If he doesn’t it is definitely clean.

He was the one who spotted the cat meat-covered forkĀ  and a couple of dirty dishes mixed in with the clean. Of course, the mixing of the dirty with clean is all my fault.
You see what I should empty the machine before I start cooking in the evening because the person feeding the cat can’t tell a dirty machine from a clean one.
The same thing goes for breakfast time. The person, who is not at fault, flings open the door, slips a yoghurty spoon and jammy knife and the yoghurty bowl and jammy plate with their clean cousins.

On occasions I have pointed this out. The response: Oh shudup. You always have to pick.” That’s right, I have to pick the dirty from the clean.

So remember this very important kitchenhack. To stop people mixing dirty utensils and plates with the clean simply empty the dishwasher as soon a humanly possible.

This will mean that nobody ever has to open the door to the dishwasher, see it is full, and ask the question: “Is it clean or dirty?” Or use the Jack Russell test.
