Mixing the type of cutlery is actually recommended because if you put all the spoons etc together in the same section they are more likely to "nest" together leaving very little space between each piece for water to circulate. So my strategy is to have a complete set: a fork, a knife, a spoon etc in each section before doubling up. I hate doubling up as I worry the two of the same will end up sticking together. Make sense? LOL I'm just as particular.... Or peculiar... Just in a different way. But fortunately DH is of the same species as me. His relaxation is updating the Lego stocktaking spread sheet each weekend... Need I say more? Hehe

Your forgetting that my cutlery is already clean lol.. but yeah i do get that, especially with the spoons!!!

Glad i am not the only weird one hee hee!!
