Secret Water Fight
How does a dishwasher clean dishes?
You load your breakfast dishes into the dishwasher, close the door, press a button, and walk away. An hour later, they're clean. But what happened in there? It's time to open the secret world inside the machine.
First, you need to know: there's no one in there scrubbing. Instead, the dishwasher is basically a super-organized water fight. When you press start, a pump at the bottom begins pulling water in from your house's pipes. The water flows into a little reservoir at the machine's base, like filling a tiny pool.
