Handles up is more hygenic and safer to unload.
If you can't tell the difference between a fork and spoon on a dish rack or
if you have a problem with water puddling in the bottom of a flatware holder,
then you've got other problems. The water shouldn't be dirty at the end of the cycle.
Plus, do you wash your hands before removing items from the dishwasher?
If not regularly, then you'll be grabbing the areas that later go into someone's mouth
when you remove stuff that's "handles down."
