Talk to me about the dishwashers. Answer the poll

[DVCjj]

I NEVER leave a dishwasher, clothes washer, dryer, or stove on if no one is home.

Even the crockpot gets put into the brick garage if leaving for more than 30 minutes. Just makes me feel better.

Maybe I'm neurotic, but several different friends have had gas dryers start on fire (lint) and had they not been home, it could have been a disaster.

I don’t hand wash resort mugs/glassss while staying at studios, except my own mugs I like to bring my own mugs to DLR resorts, buy new ones at Aulani, and I keep my own mugs and utensils and plates in my owners locker for WDW.
Staying in one bedrooms, I load up the dishwasher before leaving, even if it’s only a few plates.

I load the dishwasher but I don't run it. One time I asked the person cleaning my room and they told me they can't assume that the dishes were washed properly so they'll re-start it even if the dishwasher is running when they arrive.

To be honest, though, I feel precisely 0 obligation to clean up more than I would with any other hotel room. I'm not going to leave the place a mess, but absent some rule that requires me to load the dishwasher I wouldn't feel bad about just leaving the dishes in the sink.

We load it but don’t run because I was told that if housekeeping comes in and it’s running they have to restart anyway because there is no way to know if the guest actually used detergent.

This is the kind of info that is great to know. If they informed guests not to run prior to leaving only to load I am willing to bet this would help with speeding up cleaning and check ins.

Then how do they know that ANY of the dishes in the cupboards are clean? I fail to believe that they wash every dish.

It could! Again, it’s what a housekeeper told me so it was enough for me not to worry!!

TBH, the few times we have used dishes at DVC, we have always washed them before using them.
