Hand washing can be tough on your skin.
A dishwasher is more water-efficient than washing by hand when you have a full load. In order to kill bacteria, most dishwashers use extremely high water temperatures. These temperatures would be intolerable for most people when hand washing, so there may be some traces of bacteria left behind. Even at lower temperatures, washing dishes by hand can wreak havoc on your hands. Using water and dish soap can dry out your skin. While wearing gloves is an option, you can also opt to simply put most of your dishes in the dishwasher instead to save water and your hands!

Today’s dishwashers use less water than hand washing.
In the past, dishwashers consumed up to 15 gallons of water per cycle! Modern dishwashers, on the other hand, are designed with water efficiency in mind. 

Of course, there are times where hand washing is necessary.
While using a dishwasher may be more time-, energy-, and water efficient, it’s not always an option. There are a number of commonly used kitchen items that aren’t dishwasher-friendly and should be washed by hand. Some examples include wooden cutting boards, sterling silver flatware, cast iron cookware, chef’s knives, and non-stick pans. Some fine china and handmade ceramics are also best washed by hand.
