Topic: Not who does the dishes, How? | |
---|---|
After our Easter dinner today ,my son decided he was going to do the dishes. We do not have a dishwasher We run the hot water to rinse as we wash each dish by hand with cloth/sponge/pads. Relative corrected us and said we should use a dish pan, wash them all and leave soak, then rinse them all in cold water. Son and I think our way is more sanitary, relatives way saves water I suppose.We also leave them air dry until later. Momma always made us dry them immediately. These are one of the things we argue over in my house!

I was always taught to place them in a hot water wash them thoroughly then remove them to a hot rinsing sink with really hot water. This kills germs and saves water air drying prevents any bacterial buildup on towels from contaminating dishes. The schools and restaurants add a santizer to the rinse to ensure sanitary rinsing and even less bacterial contamination possibilities.

I just eat out and let the restaurant wash the dishes! I'm lazy. It's expensive but sanitary!! I wish it was more sanitary. I send utensils away for dirtiness alla time. If the waiter/tress gets tacky about it i remind them who gives the tip. It's too hard to cook a single meal! |

In the restaurants I worked in it was sanitary......if it wasnt clean we sent it back through the wash and we polished the silverware making with a sanitized cloth.....before placing it on any table......but then again the meals in the restaurants I worked in were quite expensive...... |

After our Easter dinner today ,my son decided he was going to do the dishes. We do not have a dishwasher We run the hot water to rinse as we wash each dish by hand with cloth/sponge/pads. Relative corrected us and said we should use a dish pan, wash them all and leave soak, then rinse them all in cold water. Son and I think our way is more sanitary, relatives way saves water I suppose.We also leave them air dry until later. Momma always made us dry them immediately. These are one of the things we argue over in my house! If you are the one paying the water bill then it's nobodies place to tell you how to do dishes unless of course they want to do them their way |

After our Easter dinner, mom as a rule would call in the EPA and complain about radioactive ham. The EPA SWAT team would descend on our village, evacuate everyone, come in, do a marvellous spotless job and leave every plate in a state at which you can see your own reflection in them.
They do the floors and the walls as well, they dust, but the windows are extra. And usually a big oil company or a fine and gentlemanly Uranium refinery factory foots the bill. |

"It's your house and if you pay the bills?? You should be able to wash the dishes the way you want!!!!If they don't like they can leave???"
Sounds good in theory, but if they have to do the dishes before they leave? Then all of a sudden it becomes a huge issue. Like the OP's son. He was doing the dishes, so he could not leave until he finished. It is only that luck would have it that he was the OP's son, so they were fully syncronized in their dishwashing philosophy and ideology of cleanliness. |

These are one of the things we argue over in my house! I've always had a dishwasher, even in my little glorified closet, they called a studio apartment. lol But, when I had to hand wash, I would fill one side of the sink with HOT SOAPY water and soak the dishes as I took a rag (I think sponges are just gross and full of germs) and washed them, then had the other side of the sink empty for rinsing the dishes, and a dish rack near the sink to let them air dry, all the excess water would drip into the sink. |

Dawnette, in the soup kitchen where I eat out regularly, we are asked after the meal to wash our own dishes.
Procedure: (Supervised!) - scrape off excess srcaps. - rinse quickly in a soapy solution in a vat, and scrape more with a brush with a handle. - wash with cloth in the next bin. - then rinse quickly in a water-bleach solution. I don't know the mixture ratio. - rinse quickly in a vat of pure warm water. It shoud have nothing in it, but water and temperature. - put the dishes in a drying rack, quickly get patted down by the church security for stolen knives and salt shakers, and leave. -- The bins or vats or whatever you want to call them, get changed, the solution in them, at a frequency commensurate with the rate of their getting dirty. |
