Do you wash dishes?
« on: January 24, 2018, 01:10:52 am »
The kitchen is a pIace of gathering, and doing the dishes is unavoidable. A good dish scrubber is necessary. It is said that the first dish scrubber is made of sea sponge, which has soft and porous structure. The sea sponge is one of the simplest organisms and it is collected by people to make kitchen scrubber in the old days.

The change of dish scrubber happened in the 1940s. A company called DuPont developed a new artificial sponge as an alternative to natural sponge. The wheel of sponge use history keeps moving and we get many new material scrubbers such as silicone sponge!

Yes because my dishwasher hasn't worked properly in years. I just use it to store pots and lids.

I don't have a dishwasher, not because hubby won't buy me one but because  I don't like the way he does dishes using one and it is easier not to have one and get mad because he does not  really know how to use one. Besides I rather enjoy the quite time I have doing them. I grow my own sponges to do dishes with. Called a  luffa sponge. It is really a gourd (luffa) and you have to peel the outer peel off when dry and get rid of a lot of seeds. But it is worth it.  I am not using something that belongs in the sea and I have a lot of them. I give  a lot of the  sponges to family and neighbors all like them.

I don't have a dishwasher anymore, have you seen the new kind wow. It made me mad when I had to wash before the dishwasher like the tv commercial nope not this one and all a sudden all the dishes was out! I do want those scrubbers/hotpotholder/petdandercomb as seen on tv 20.00 for the set should last for a lifetime. I don't like washing the dishes bad chore for me.

I also have the my-husband-cooks-and-I-wash-dishes deal in my home! I put most everything in the dishwasher, but I scrub the pots and pans and steak knives and stuff like that by hand. I'd never heard of a silicone sponge before. Have to check it out! :thumbsup:

I do hand wash dishes still. I have a dishwasher, but most of the time I'd rather just hand wash a few dishes and get them out of the way!  :) :thumbsup:

Since we want to save on electricity in the winter, my mom would rather as much as she can by hand and run the machine once a week.

I'm definitely a dishwasher woman.  But I hate how much water it takes.

Yes, I wash by hand.  I don't know why I just don't put the dishes in the dishwasher.
