How do I stop a dishwasher leaving water on the backs of mugs only on the top rack?
Our answer
Angle mug bottoms to shed water and use rinse aid; flat recesses on cups collect top-rack water even when the machine works.
Why this approach makes sense
Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.
Before you try it
Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
