How to get kids to do chores: Does the Maya method work? (2018)
> [...] rinses the dishes for the dishwasher [...]<p>Is that a thing in the US? My current dishwasher is from 2015, stock standard Ikea.<p>I never had to rinse anything for it to come out sparkling clean. Even in the fast program that only runs 64mins.<p>The other day I had an Airbnb guest from NYC and I saw him rinsing. And when asked why he told me that was necessary because the dishwasher couldn't cope with it otherwise and stuff would come out dirty.<p>He looked perplexed when I told him no dishwasher I used for over twenty years required rinsing beforehand.<p>Is this 'rinsing requirement' an urban myth sticking around in some areas of the world?<p>Edit: I live in Berlin but have been living in Australia, the UK, Japan and Italy over the last two decades. No dishwashers in the apartments I lived in in those countries required rinsing either.
