How soon after grouting can I run my dishwasher? I want to be as careful as possible. Thank you.

24 hours is fine................

as bove from me

As above, but even if your dishwasher is not fitted level it won't rattle around like a washing machine would do on full spin.
Additional word of warning.
As I tell all my customers if you have laminated chipboard worktops the worst thing you can do with a dishwasher is open the door mid cycle the steam will blow the worktop in no time.

You should get a silver strip with the machine to put under the worktop to stop it blowing

Scot they all come with some sort of strip either metal or sicky back silver paper.

When I rip the old kitchens out I tend to see all the failure points and with laminated worktops it's water or steam that tend to bugger up worktops,
around the sink and hob where they haven't been sealed properly, and with dishwashers it's as listed above. It's even worse when the dishwasher is positioned below a masons mitre.

Why would you want to grout a dishwasher?

The grout in ours blocked the drain the bottom That said - my wife claims that white ady - usually Limestone floors creates sand in the bottom of our washing machine from my work trousers and ends up in the filter
