I don't know how well this solution will work since you have been told "not
to mark up" your landlord's appliances. Here goes anyway.
Sometimes, my mom and I will buy little stick-on plastic crystals from
Walmart. They are tiny and are easy to remove when necessary. If I
remember correctly, they don't leave any glue behind. You can get them from
the craft section.
They also have some stick-on shapes made of some kind of spongey material
which are also useful.
I hope this helps.

What's the best way to label the dish washer because Mine that came with my
newly rented house, doesn't have dials.
The landlord told me I couldn't mark up his appliances.
Yet I feel scratches all over the touch panel.
So that confuses me. I can't use it I guess unless any of you have any cool
suggestions?

Just to add to this, once you are familiar with the types of dishes and
utensils you have in your kitchen I think it is the easiest to load the dish
washer as you go. When I finish eating or finish with a drinking glass I put
it into the dish washer. This makes it much easier, and you don't have
dishes sitting around on the counter to get in the way or break. When I
unload the clean dishes, I don't have any problem as I can recognize the
different types of dishes I use. Hope this helps

Subject: [CnD] loading a dishwasher
I usually load the bottom part first with plates and silverware. I put only
the sharp knives like steak knives in point down, everything else I put in
handle down. I like to keep spoons together, forks, serving spoons, etc.
It's easier to unload.
I feel how the rows of prongs go in the dishwasher and then start putting in
the plates. I like to keep them in neat rows also to make it easier to
unload.
Then I pull out the top shelf and begin putting glasses in with the top of
the glass facing the bottom of the dishwasher; same for cups and cereal
bols. Some cooking utensils like slotted spoons, tongs, big stirring
spoons, can lay down on the top shelf. Anything plastic also goes on this
shelf - like measureing cups and storage containers (make sure they are
dishwasher safe and you have to ask a sighted person).
I like to use premeasured packets probably of dishwasher detergent and I
don't use a softener to prevent spotting.
After a while, you'll get better at it when you use the same dishwasher all
the time. Do not put wooden utensils or wooden-handled knives in the dw. I
NEVER put sharp knives in even if they are dw safe so that I don't cut
myself when I am putting the dishes away.
So, there ya go. Hope this helps.
I use my hands to feel where things go and it takes probably 3 times as long
as for a sighted person. I don't care.
Jean
