Hey Geo,

While this may indeed be possible, taking an extra 15 minutes or so to
remove the rack is not a bad idea so that you can do a complete
cleaning under the rack and stall the washing machine screened washers
in the rack drain holes to slow the accumulation of crud underneith.
While both may technically be possible with the rack still attached at
the back I suppose, they would be way easier with it off.
