Dishwasher

In 1850, Joel Houghton patented a wooden machine with a hand-turned wheel that splashed water on dishes, it was hardly a workable machine, but it was the first patent. The Walker Brothers invented the first electric dishwasher in 1913.Used for washing dirty dishes such as plates, forks, spoons, and bowls. In some dishwashers, a rinsing aid (also called rinse aid) can be added to the rinse cycle to improve drying and avoid water spots remaining on dry items. The word "dishwasher" comes from the word dish. The reason for inventing the dishwasher to help busy people not have to wash dishes by hand.
