Comment on Green Decisions: Dishwasher vs. Hand Washing by Carla

If I understand correctly, the Bonn study assumed using 102 liters of water in a single hand-washing session! Plus or minus 25gallons! That’s nuts. I don’t use nearly so much since I barely fill one sink with suds and then pile up soapy, clean dishes before turning on the water to rinse them. Plus, I always have hand-washables which cannot go into the dishwasher for one reason or another. (Wooden handles, fragile surfaces, over-sized, etc.) So I STILL must run some water in the sink to wash by hand. I don’t think there is a clear answer to this but I am leaning toward hand-washing in spite of the Bonn study (financed by a dishwasher company, by the way.)

I still feel Hand washing is more green. I soak my dishes in soap and water first, then wash them, and air and towel dry.
I use the dishwasher when it have a FULL load.

Good post and recommendation for the energy audit. It’s also important to get the right audit–accurate and actionable and looking at the right items like equipment efficiency and safety, air infiltration, and duct leakage. For a bit more background and additional links, follow my post at http://greenhomesamerica.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/home-energy-audits-2/
