That's true enough. When the kids are away at college or staying with my ex,
we run the dishwasher once a week. When everyone is homer from school and
staying at our place we run it ever other 1 to 2 days. Last week we had
everyone home along with my daughters boyfriend and step-sons girlfriend
staying with us. We ran the dishwasher 3 times over Saturday and Sunday.
