Are you putting mugs in the dishwasher wrong? This viral TikTok video shows to do it the right way

“Smart dishwasher loading.” That was the simple message written by TikTok user Carol Lu aka reelife5678 alongside her short video. Well, as someone who is arranging a new kitchen – appliances included – I think I’d better take note, especially as over three million others have viewed it.

So, here we go...

OK, that’s pretty simple. Just line up my mugs so that the water doesn’t collect. I think I can remember that, and explain to the rest of the family that we have a new way of loading.

Following the success of this advice, a second video was uploaded by Carol with the line:

“Part 2 Fully loaded dishwasher with mugs loaded, handles down and at an angle to avoid pooling on the mugs!” Just in case we weren’t crystal clear about the guidance.

The results

Clearly, Carol needed to share the results of the wash.

“Part 3 Follow up post! Dishwash cycle complete! And no water pooling on the mugs!”
