    I will not do this challenge as I live in an old house and if dishes are rinsed before going in this can clog the pipes and lead to costly repairs.

      That's a great point!  Clogging pipes is a risk to all pipes I think?!?  Beyond water-- I was also reading that cleaning dishes before going in the dishwasher can ultimately damage dishes, especially glass.  The detergent is made to scrub and if there's nothing to scrub it starts to etch into the dishes.
