Who Invented The Dish Washer

Well to answer that question, one must ask another question, i.e who best understands a woman?s problems. It can only be a woman. The woman who was the inventor of dishwasher happened to be a socialite, constantly beleaguered by problems of chipped china at the hands of careless servants.

Invented in 1886 by Josephine Cochrane, the commercial production of the dishwasher was started after 1893. The invention of the dishwasher is the culmination of efforts to eliminate human error in the carrying out of mundane tasks like dish washing, which although monotonous requires alertness and careful and delicate handling. And of course, inventing the dishwasher makes practical sense, allowing dishes to be washed together in one go and with minimal water, with water consumption alone estimated to be half of what would be required when washing them by hand. Dish washers also provide convenient storage of the dirty or used dishes, until it is ready to be washed.

Modern dishwashers also have ?rinse and hold? cycles, that runs a summary wash/ rinse of the dishes to eliminate excessive food particles, and storing them until such time that the machine is fully loaded to clean in one go. Dishwashers also facilitate a more hygienic cleaning with near boiling water, while also drying the dishes with hot air, a technique that not only saves on the time normally required when individually drying dishes one by one. The dishwasher is a woman?s answer to the challenge thrown to her in juggling with separate roles as a housewife, mother, career woman, entertainer, socialite and what not.
