Dishwasher System #265

Description

@nelsonic

As noted in #113 we need systems for everything in the house
to ensure that new people immediately understand what needs to be done.

Sadly, the lady who helps with cleaning the house totally ignores (forgets) verbal instructions
and thus ends up wasting a lot of time each week.
This was noted in: #226 where she was wasting ~30mins/week on emptying recycling bins ... ⌛ 💰 🔥

With the dishwashers the amount of time being wasted is similar ...
Simply because she is individually hand-drying items with a dish cloth before storing them.
This is the very definition of creating work that doesn't need to exist.
If the dishwasher is simply left open after it has run while still hot everything air dries quickly.
But the cleaning lady refuses to follow my instruction to leave the dishwasher door open when the cycle ends
and continues to waste time hand-drying ... it's immensely painful to watch and even more to think about.

But let's think about it for a minute:

With only a handful of people in the house she only empties the dishwasher 3-5 times per week.
Used to take her roughly 10 minutes to empty the dishwasher depending on how many items and the kind ...
This has come down a bit due to the Drinking Glass Shelf #259 (comment)

It takes me less than T5m to empty the dishwasher because I carry multiple similar items at at once
by contrast the cleaning lady takes one item per "trip", painfully slowly drying each item ...

When we have more people in the house there will be multiple dishwasher cycles each day.
The problem will compound quickly and cost us real money daily/monthly/yearly!

Note: I usually try to empty the dishwasher in the mornings when I'm preparing children's breakfast
because it bugs me so much to watch her waste the time ...
but it's considerably more "expensive" for me to do it because my time is certainly not worth "minimum wage" ...

We need a system.
