I’ve been committing this cardinal sin when it comes to my dishwasher, but curbing this habit now could help me offset the 13% price cap increase

Open integrated dishwasher next to a fridge freezer, in a kitchen with wood panelling, a wood-look worktop, and sage green cabinet doors and black handles.
