The actual cleaning is done in between those spray cycles. In the end, the water is collected and drained off the dishwasher.

Final wash and rinse step

This is the final stage in cleaning your utensils. This stage is very similar to the main wash. But, the main difference is that the use of detergent is optional. It may or may not use detergent. Similar to the main wash step, the new freshwater is heated, sprayed, filtered, and resprayed until stopped.One thing you must know is that all models of dishwashers may not have an in-built heater.
