Washing Dishes

[catchow]

 I just soak them, wash them, rinse them and let them air dry

Since I don't have a dishwasher, I wash dishes in the sink.  I soak them in very hot water and detergent.  When the water is cool enough, I wash them and rinse in the second sink.  What does the job seems okay by me.

When i do dishes when guests, neighbors, or family comes by i always get asked why i do it the way i do.. I don't understand this because i figured there is no right or wrong way to do dishes..So.. I am wondering.. Is there some kind of secret method to dishes i don't know about that everyone does? 

All i do when i do dishes is I rinse with hot water..
Make my water up put soap in it..
Then let the dishes soak or wash them up
Rinse again
Put on drying board to dry..
My friend tells me she just puts hers in the sink and lets them soak then rises them dryes them and puts em away.. I don't see nothing wrong with her way.. I think everyone has a right to wash dishes how they please..
My neighbor tells me she just puts hers in the washer and is done with them.. Don't see nothing wrong with her way either.. 
But i still perfer my method

I hate washing dishes but i have to do them. I wash pots more then plates. I put my pots on a drying board.

I do all my dishes because there is no place in my kitchen to install a dishwasher.  because i have dual sinks i fill the sink with as hot as water as i can stand with soap.  i then do the baby bottles and utensils first followed by the plates and bowls and cups and then finally the pots and pans.  in the other sink i have as hot as water as i can stand in which i rinse the soap off and then i place them on a drying board to dry.

I wipe off the big stuff and put in the dishwasher.  I feel like the extra hot water in the dishwasher sanitizes them.  I start the dishwasher anytime it gets full.  So sometimes it gets done every other day if not everyday.

I agree that there is no one right way to do dishes I put them in the soapy water and wash each dish and then rinse and let then dry on the board

I have been doing dishes since I lost my job and my girlfriend got a job.  I ate doing house work and dishes I mean it seems they are never ending and they add up quickly.

Whatever gets them clean is the right way.  We have a dishwasher but still have to pre-rinse some things if they are really dirty, like baked on food.

I think your method is better because you rinse off the dirty stuff first.
i hand wash all the dishes (i don't soak them prior to washing them though), but occasionally I use the dishwasher when there's a lot of dishes.

I prefer your method too. What I like to do is rinse the dishes right away with hot water (anything to make life easier, right?) then fill the sink with very hot water and detergent, let them soak until the water has just cooled enough to get my hands in there and get the job done.

As long as they are clean that is what matters.

I don't have a dishwasher so I wash dishes by hand too. I wash, rinse, and put everything on a drying board.

[nickylanena]

I do what you do; I rinse them, soak them, wash them, rinse them again, and let them dry.

Im with you. I didnt know there was a right and wrong way!
