Now I wanna become the hand dishwashing expert!

Fantastic.

Season two episode eight is how to do the dishes! Edit: it was their series finale :)

I loved the episodes about coin flipping and tying shoes!

See them? Zero

The most common problem I have with other people's dishes (often relatives) is that they are greasy after it's been washed because they use the same water for the entire set of dishes and especially if their dish washing order sucks.

When hand washing I always do it in a particular order:

Re-usable Water Bottles, Pot lids which are not visibly dirty, Glasses/Cups, Utensils.

If the water is now greasy, I will drain and re-fill at this point.

Then Plates and bowls, Baking pans that are not greasy, Pots, Frying Pans, then Baking pans that are greasy.

Spoiler alert: 3 sink method for when the dishwasher is broken

So many ethincally British people wash dishes like that and it's beyond disgusting.

Filling a tub with soapy water to dunk dirty plates and cups in and then sticking them straight onto a draining board, is literally just adding more yuck to your crockery for bacteria to grow on.

And these people would complain about wasting water and stuff not being clean when I washed things with soap and hot running water?!

Seriously, the stuff you eat off should not smell like rotting raw meat has been rubbed all over it, when it's 'clean'.

When I lived with housemates, those of use who weren't ethnically from here could pretty reliably tell who was ethnically British just by opening their cupboard in the kitchen.

It's not the soap, it's the dishwasher rinse aids.

• Scrub every inch and cranny real good with soapy water

• Even try to leave the soap on for 30 seconds if I can wash other stuff in the meantime

• Rinse very thoroughly so nary a hint of a sud remains

Prioritize dishwasher for everything that won’t be damaged

Thank you. Been thinking about this.

Is there a [soap] product that you use or would use with a dishwasher, or at least a guideline or purchasing process you’d follow?

Wait rinse aid is bad?

If it looks clean it can still be unsanitary.

Very very tempting

Start with the rough side of the sponge

periodically microwave the sponge, they are bacteria farms.
