So you buy a nice two shelf bookcase but it's wobbly and you know it won't hold much. I've recently gotten one and my solution was to put L-brackets on it. After installing about 8 of these brackets at the cojoining parts of the shelving, it is now completely stable and ready for use.

Empty the lint trap on your dryer every time you use it.
If you have a dishwasher make sure there is no food clogging the drain every now and then.
Once a year, clean out the actual vent from the dryer to outside. The lint filter doesn't catch everything.
Better yet, completely rinse everything off of the dishes before putting them in the washer.
Don't do that; modern dishwashers already do an amazing job of that, so you'd just be wasting water and effort, which defeats the whole point of dishwashers in the first place.
If anything, just scrape any solids into the trash with a utensil before loading your dishes into the dishwasher.
Biodegradables in the trash?! That’s even worse! I just hand wash and use the dishwasher as a dry rack.
In the trash? Just get a dog, and put the dishes back in the cupboard.
Two dogs, takes half as long.
Even quicker if you help!
Typical hand washing does not do as good a job at sanitizing because the human hand can tolerate lower temperatures than a dishwasher.
At that point - you mind as well hand wash the dishes.
