Soak and Scour came about in the early 2000's or late 1990's with the "Quiet Partner" and other dishwashers. It has since been replaced by "Power Scour".
Problem with S&S is the time it added to cycles IIRC. Something like five or more hours to complete. Think this cycle made since in the days before enzyme laden dishwasher detergents, but not so much today I shouldn't wonder. Personally would just rather soak a badly soiled pot, pan or dish for a half hour or so then bung it into the dw. This rather than subject an entire load to a very long cycle that most do not require. |

Bloody hell! *LOL*
When you consider the average night's sleep is about eight hours if the thing is started before going to bed it will finish little before one rises the next morning. Again just as sooner soak the pots/pans or whatever and run them through on normal cycle. That or just get out a Brillo or other scrub pad and finish the job in sink. |

If something was so bad it needed a soaking, I would just sit it in the sink with some hot water and Dawn detergent.
I remember in 1979 when we got our GE Potscrubber. The Potscrubber cycle took 90 minutes. My mother refused to use it because "it took too long". But boy did it get things clean.
Now a normal cycle for some machines are 90+ minutes. |
