How do you wash the dishes?

[welshcake]

I know this sounds stupid but how do other people do it?
Do you have a dish washer, wash them in a bowl, wash them with the sink full of water or like me and just keep the tap running?

I haven't used a dish washer in years and years because my family don't like them but I've used a bowl, I used to fill the sink full of water but now I'm obsessed with making sure the dishes are super, super clean so I spend like an hour washing dishes by using different sponges, keeping the water running and using almost a full thing of fairy liquid. Quite an expensive way of doing it I guess.

At home, with a dishwasher

Otherwise with a hand.

Grown accustomed to washing by hand since I started uni, it's quite therapeutic. We do actually have a dishwasher in our current house but Ngl I'm not entirely sure how to use it or indeed whether it actually works. Washing up bowl and a few drops of washing up liquid does the trick.

I don't.

but when I move out I'll be getting a dish washer

[Absently]

Used to use a bowl and fill it up with water, here I just have the tap running and clean

[merier]

I wash them with a forlorn look on my face, gazing out of the window and reminiscing about happier times

Dishwasher - One of the best inventions ever.

[Kimmy]

In Scotland, I always used to do it by hand and use half of the fairy liquid and loads of water so I had so much bubbles
Here, there's a dishwasher and even unloading and loading it's a pain

[Jssy]

i dont. never been asked to do it

[Circadia]

I just wash the dishes by hand in a bowl, exactly how I do at work :')

[-:Undertaker:-]

In university I run them under a running tap with a sponge with fairy liquid and dry.

At home we use the dishwasher.

dishwasher usually

[Empired]

We use the dishwasher at home but I actually hate the device because it's my job to empty it. Good thing about washing up on the spot is you get yourself ready to do it, you wash everything, and then the task is DONE. With a dishwasher you have to load it and then you think you can kick back and relax BUT NO you have to empty the bloody thing as well.

Washing up I fill a washing up bowl with hot water + fairy liquid and then let the tap run on the other side of the sink so I can wash plates in the bowl and then run them under the tap to get the soap off.

[lawrawrrr]

Wash by hand in a bowl, there's a dishwasher at my parents' house which I use when I'm back home but I prefer doing stuff by hand anyway, gets it done at the time, rather than having to wait for it to fill up before you have to wash things.

[Alkaz]

If there is a lot to do I put it all in the dishwasher. However, if there is just a few things that need doing I do it in the sink. Saves time, water and expensive dish washer tablets.

By hand and a running tap

[Metric1]

I have basic, white round plates and basic cutlery with 16 place settings of each. It gives me great joy to load the dishwasher.. not so much to unload.. so I usually use my way though the plates in the dishwasher, leave the dirty plates in the sink and load it when it's empty.

Place them in the sink and they magically clean themselves! (Mother) :o

I'm gonna be screwed when I move out in september!

You really don't need that much washing up liquid.

at home = dish washer

at work, by hand with the tap running and a bowl full of hot water to soak before I wash

[welshcake]

I'll like put a blob of washing up liquid every two dishes or whatever. I use so much. My hands get so dry as well.

[Martin]

where you moving blot

Cardiff for Uni :P (If that's the Uni I decide to accept since I've had offers from 5 xD)

Either way I'll be moving out which is pretty exciting and scary! :O


Will have to put all my dirty dishes into a big box and take them home to be cleaned me thinks!!

[Nick]

I have a dishwasher

[Matt]

We have to take it in turns to wash them (my brother and I) and even if we have a dishwasher we don't use it, my parents make us do it ;l

wtf! wasting so much fairy liquid welshcake!

i use washing up bowl and scrubber thing on a stick if the water is 2 hot :)

[Sharon]

ok step by step

1 - washing up gloves on i dont want dry ugly hands
2 - run tap
3 - rinse every item under tap so they're all hot and easier to clean
4 - 2 pumps of liquid onto sponge
5 - clean inside bowls and all of the outside to for extra cleanliness
6 - rinse each of bubbles until water runs clear and put onto rack thing
7 - add more liquid when the spongey thing stops being bubbly and clearly has no liquid on

feel free to follow my recipe

[Chris]

We have a dishwasher but I sometimes prefer just doing it by hand.

[Hannah]

Personally, I wash them in a bowl and then run them under a tap after I've washed all the grub from them.

It's like baths, in a bowl/sink they're sitting in their own filth - so should be followed with a shower. :)

[Zak]

I don't. I have a dishwasher.
