Abstract

A method for cleaning items to be washed in a dishwasher operational using at least one first predetermined wash program sequence including an intensive, low-temperature, automatic or standard program, using a specific mechanical and/or thermal soiling removal energy to achieve a specific cleaning and/or drying result, for carrying out such program steps as pre-rinse, cleaning, intermediate rinse, final rinse and drying, with the predetermined wash program being configured for substantially minimizing the quantity of water and energy used, the method including the steps of applying at least one second predetermined wash program sequence including a rapid intensive, rapid low-temperature, rapid automatic or rapid standard program, using substantially similar mechanical and/or thermal soiling removal energy as first wash program sequence to achieve the substantially similar specific cleaning and/or drying result as first wash program sequence, with second program sequence occurring in less time than first wash program sequence.
