INTRODUCTION

For generations, the end of a meal meant the beginning of a chore someone had

to wash the dishes. The invention of the automatic dishwasher changed all that,

though. Many households can now forego the time-consuming chore with the push of a

button, and still have sparkling clean dishes. Some consider a dishwasher to be a

necessity, but like most modern conveniences, the appliance does have some

drawbacks. Perhaps the greatest advantage of using a dishwasher is convenience and

timesavings. Instead of standing over the sink scrubbing and rinsing dishes by hand,

just load the dirty plates and glasses into the machine, press the button and let the

dishwasher do the work. Using a dishwasher instead of hand-washing dishes not only

saves your personal time and energy, it also cuts down on your water and electricity

usage (Hamlin, 2018). Using a dishwasher not only takes away the drudgery of hand

washing your plates, glasses and flatware, it also saves money and water, keeps

counters free of clutter, creates less of an impact on the environment and is more

sanitary. In addition, fewer dishes are broken in the dishwasher than when you wash

them by hand (Ireland, 2018).

A dishwasher is a mechanical device for cleaning dishware and cutlery. Unlike

manual dishwashing which relies largely on physical scrubbing to remove soiling (Bilcat,

2018). Dishwashing machines are one of the most expensive pieces of equipment in the

kitchen to operate (Frontier Energy, Inc., 2018). However, the researchers made a

device that will be acting like the dishwashing machine and yet it will be cheaper and
convenient because it will not be bulky and huge anymore but a handy one. This device

is designed to be waterproof so it is safe to get wet and also this will not use a high

amount of current in conducting electricity because it can electrocute the users yet this

will use a low amount of current and only can only have a voltage of 3 – 9 Volts by the

use of batteries so this will be a safer one. The performance of this device will stay

good and well if the batteries are fully charged and the power will reduce within 2 - 3

hours of work, in this given time the work of yours should be finished. While

dishwashers can disinfect dishes more effectively than hand-washing, the machines do

have limitations. Sometimes, even the most powerful machines cannot remove dried-on

food debris, requiring you either hand-wash the item or run it through the machine

again.

Lots and lots of people nowadays are being stressed after working but they

should eat to rejuvenate themselves some energy and they should also wash dishes

and glasses after eating. Of course when you eat you should clean some utensils to

maintain a healthy lifestyle and a proper hygiene. Cleaning these things will just make

you tired and stressed because of the repeating muscular movements. In order to cut

off the problems the researchers invented a prototype called "Double-Sided

Dishwashing Device" that can give assistance to exhausted parents and workers. Being

always exhausted and weary can lead you to a bad lifestyle, not healthy state and can

sometimes cause fatigue. The researchers are aiming for this device to perfectly fit and

grip in users’ palms and to be a convenient piece of household tool not like the bulky

and the substantial one similar to some standard dishwashing machines that are
installed into kitchen cabinets, also these can occupy more spaces inside houses and

these can cause inconvenience. Also this is heavily aimed to be much cheaper than

huge dishwashing machines and will cost 90% lower to be more affordable. Conducting

this study will save more water and will save some of your personal time and energy. It

also cuts down on your water and electricity usage. Instead of standing over the sink

scrubbing and rinsing dishes by hand, just give this device a lift and it will give you

assistance and a smooth scrubbing experience. If this prototype will be successful, it

can give a big advantage in dishwashing and will save a huge amount of time.
