Dilly Carter's simple organising tip has changed the way I load my dishwasher

I don't know about you, but there are some chores around my home that I am always looking for easier, more efficient ways to complete. And once again, Dilly Carter has just shown me the light with another kitchen organisation tip.

Trying to organise a kitchen and keep it organised week after week is no small feat, especially when it comes to heavily used appliances and essentials like your dishwasher and dinnerware. The dishwasher is an especially laborious task when it's used daily, and using it so often means that my dishes and cutlery have a greater chance of becoming unorganised.

Luckily, Dilly Carter, a professional organiser on Sort Your Life Out, has shared her fantastic tip for ensuring your cutlery stays organised from the moment it's popped into the dishwasher to them being put neatly away in the drawer.

Loading a dishwasher incorrectly is one of the biggest dishwasher mistakes we all probably make on a daily basis, however once you know how to do it right, it'll make life so much easier.

"The way we load our dishwasher matters! It's not just a box we throw our dishes into any old how. There is a way to do everything properly," says Dilly.

"Now, who would believe that there is an art to loading your dishwasher? Yes, this box that we use every day is not just a box that we chuck everything into; it's about having everything cleaned properly. We don't have things coming out and not being cleaned. And that's often because things haven't been loaded properly," she continues.

"So we've got our bottom for our heavier soiled dishes, our middle for our glasses and our mugs, and then the top tray is for our cutlery," points out Dilly.

It's not just cleanliness that Dilly has prioritised in her dishwasher organisation, the really smart tip that has now revolutionised my loading and unloading is with the cutlery drawer or basket.

Although her machine has a tray, this advice still works with a basket too. And it's a another great way Dilly keeps choatic drawers organised with minimal effort.

"This tray is replacing the old style cutlery basket, so there's no danger of you ever cutting yourselves because everything is beautifully organised," Dilly says.

"The reason I love these cutlery trays is because we can categorise all our knives, forks and spoons. Yes I organise my knives, forks and spoons even in my dishwasher," she explains.

"But the reason I do that is so once everything is together, I can simply grab them all in one go, open my drawer which of course is perfectly placed by my dishwasher, and throw them in. Nice and easy, it's all about time," Dilly shows.

This is definitely not a kitchen organisaiton mistake to avoid, in fact I'm not sure how I'll every load a dishwasher the same again. I'm certainly looking forward to no more faffing around when putting cutlery away.
