Save a little money on electricity by turning off the Dry cycle on your dishwasher and using a towel in the end
I saw this video somewhere, I think it was a TikTok video originally. Anyway, this woman said you can save a little bit on your utility bill by turning off the heated dry cycle of your dishwasher. Instead, at the end of the cycle open up the door while it's still hot and steamy, put a dish towel in there (hanging off the top but mostly inside the dishwasher), and firmly close the door.
So I did try this a few times and yeah, it works. My dishes come out perfectly dry. Not going to be a huge savings for us because we're a small family and we don't run dishes everyday, but for others it could be more significant. Also, I don't know how well it works if you don't catch it within a half hour or an hour of finishing. I'm thinking once the heat from the wash cycle is gone this may not be as effective.
