I scrub everything off my dishes with steel wool (or a rag if I can't use steel wool) and uses the dishwasher to make sure I got all the soap off and then sanatize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988385189893016234.post-34147130335903503912012-06-16T08:13:09.527-05:002012-06-16T08:13:09.527-05:00For years, I mean YEARS (like 25 yrs) I lived with...For years, I mean YEARS (like 25 yrs) I lived without a dishwasher, or a microwave. I always lived in older houses/apartments. I was so used to living without a dishwasher, that when I'd visit my mother, I would just absentmindedly start washing the dishes by hand & she would say "what are you doing?" <br /><br />All that being said, my wash-by-hand technique isn't quite like the guy's in the video, as I'm not a huge fan of having to turn the water on & off all the time. <br /><br />As an aside, and I detest double bowl sinks, I can never get my big pots & pans in there to get them clean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988385189893016234.post-50949545212321162242012-03-30T06:28:58.187-05:002012-03-30T06:28:58.187-05:00I truly believe that dishwasher does not wash my d...I truly believe that dishwasher does not wash my dishes as well as I can. Firstly, having 100 year old plumbing, my disposal backfeeds to the dishwasher, resulting in finely ground mixture of food and dish powder stuck on glasses. Secondly, many times, there is a thin white film on the dishes, possibly the dishwasher powder. Frustrating and dangerous. <br /><br />The only reason why I don't wash dishes in hand is that dishwasher uses so much less water than handwashing. Of course I use only two full sinks of water (wash and rinse) but dishwasher apparently uses only 5 gallons of water, which I am sure is less than 2 sinkful.Hanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537053933530564584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988385189893016234.post-3560263699705719482012-03-29T08:38:35.489-05:002012-03-29T08:38:35.489-05:00I always prewash mine which my mom thinks is sooo ...I always prewash mine which my mom thinks is sooo weird but I think of the dishwasher as more of a sanitizer than anything else. I get the food off and it steams the germs off. Then the other day someone was talking about when dishwashers were new and how his mother refused to buy one because she thought there is no way a dishwasher can get things clean enough. Lol! Funny how differently people think. Off to watch the video now to see who is right. Probably the guy's mother. Older people always seem to be right about these things.

In fact, yesterday, I washed all my dishes by hand, dryed them, and put them away. It actually felt really good to have all my dishes clean and no dishes in the dishwasher.meboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947947728485837238noreply@blogger.com
