Regardless of whether you are a seasoned home chef or a novice, one woe anybody can relate to is having to stand at the sink and spend a long time washing the dishes after whipping up a meal.
This is especially worse when you already feel beat from all the cooking, but cheese and sauce that stained the dishes are notoriously hard to remove without some intense scrubbing on your end.
While all these just sound like part and parcel of being a homeowner who enjoys home-cooked meals, they can be easily avoided with a nifty kitchen appliance!
The Bosch dishwasher will help to make your life better and easier, so here are five reasons why you need to have one in your kitchen ASAP.

Love hosting guests, cooking delicious meals for your family or have little kids at home that go through clean cups and cutlery very quickly? The solution to your cluttered sink in the kitchen might just be a dishwasher!
There's no need to stack the sink with endless dishes before you finally get to them at the end of the day anymore. Simply load them in the dishwasher where they get hidden away once you close the door, and start the machine when you are ready to have them washed.
It saves both time and effort, what's not to love about it?
#2 No more dry hands and ruined manicures

Since dishwashing detergent is strong enough to help remove grease and stains, this also means that it can be harsh on your hands and cause delicate skin to dry out. You can always use rubber gloves to protect your hands and manicure, but you won't be able to tell if the plate you are washing is really clean because you can't feel it.
Well, a dishwasher does all the job for you so you never have to worry about dry hands and ruined manicures. Say bye to soaking your hands in soapy water and let your hand cream finally work its magic at keeping your hands moisturised all day long.
No more hand washing also means there's no need to leave wet sponges out for bacteria to breed - killing two birds with one stone!
#3 No need to soak dishes or scrub hard to remove stains

One way to loosen grease and stains on dishes is to soak them in hot water in the sink before hand washing. But there's no need to put in that extra effort and scrub till your arms ache with a dishwasher!
Bosch's dishwashers come with internal high-pressured water jets that reach all nooks and crannies to thoroughly remove stains and grease. All you have to do is throw the leftovers in a bin, load the dishes in the dishwasher and sit back and relax while it cleans everything for you.
It works even on items with hard-to-reach corners like wine glasses and baby bottles.
#4 You use less water

Guilty of leaving the tap running while soaping the dishes? Or always using a large amount of hot water to help remove stains on them? You may not notice it but these habits contribute to your water bills and contrary to popular belief, a dishwasher can actually help to save water rather than use more water!
Fun fact: hand washing a full dishwasher load typically uses around 40 litres of water, while a Bosch ActiveWater Eco dishwasher uses only 6.5 litres of water per full load.
Water from the final rinse is also stored in the storage tank, then reused for the next wash during the pre-rinse cycle. This saves another 2.5 litres of water!
#5 You get extra clean dishes

Hand washing your dishes might not be the cleanest option. Think about the wet and old sponges you reuse over and over again - they are hotbeds for bacteria to thrive, which can in turn cause food poisoning. Using hot water to hand wash your dishes is also not a solution because you risk scalding yourself.
Bosch's dishwashers come equipped with the HygienePlus Option to kill 99.9% of germs by rinsing the dishes at a higher temperature of up to 70°C, which is sustained for about 10 minutes for the best result.
This is especially apt in the pandemic, and great for parents with young kids at home where using sanitary dishes are the most important when it comes to mealtimes.
