solution: It's called a dish towel. You use it to dry the dishes.
What a sensible solution!
I have a brand new dishwasher - well, it's 1 year old now. It takes a lot longer to cycle through all the rinsing and washing, etc. But it does a 100% better job than my 11 year old D/W that came with my TH. It's supposed to be more energy efficient though, and over the last year, I haven't noticed any major difference in either the electric or water bills - so I guess it is.
It was not the most expensive D/W on the market, it was a moderately priced Whirlpool model with a big rebate/sale, so I thought I got a good price for a good D/W. But it still leaves water on the dishes, even when I have the heat selection on. :shrug:
