What about the washing dishes by hand? I thought that used more water than using the dishwasher?

You are right. Thanks for bringing that up. Good point.I think in general washing dishes by hand does use more water. Problem, I think, is that most people wash their dishes first anyway before putting them in the dishwasher...so there is double the water usage right there. Some people don't because they are lucky enough to have a really good dishwasher that does not bake food on to the dishes.

Also, if you conserve water while washing dishes, then I think dishwashing by hand only is a good way to go.

Bottom line is that it comes down to how you wash your dishes by hand. Do you conserve water, or do you let the faucet blast or power wash everything?
