Goodness why make all that extra work and waste all that time, water and soap? I scrap off the dishes and they go right in the dishwasher not rinsed. If they didn't come out clean then it's time for a new dishwasher, not extra work for me. One thing that is in all the manuals for dishwasher is to be sure the hot water is hot before turning on the dishwasher. It take a lot of power to heat cold water and the water is coming in cold and never gets hot during the first rinse. Open the dishwasher and check the first rinse water to see if it is hot.
