I don't ever fill up my sink with water. The dirty dish water freaks me out. I know I waste water by individually washing each dish but that's the way I do them. 🤷♀️
As a woman with a touch of OCD, I love how you wash your dishes. It's exactly how I wash mine!!! I love to clean also. It's so relaxing to me. It's nothing better to sit & read a book or do my Suduko puzzles after I've cleaned the house & light a few candles.
Atleast you're honest. Lol. The kitchen sink is dirtier than most people's toilets. They've done studies on it. Try cleaning your sink after every wash. It's so satisfying. 😌
When I wash dishes, I fill my sink with hot water add a half a cup of bleach in the water and on my dish towel, soaking the plates first and the silverware I wash then I move them to the sink over then I’m soaking the cups next wash and then move them over to the next sink my pots in my pants in the same water soak then I move them over to the other sink rinse with cold water. Slide them in the dish rack to dry.
To clean and deodorize your drains pour 1/2 cup baking soda & 2 cups white vinegar let it foam and sit for 15-20 mins then pour a a gallon or more of very hot or boiling water down the drain.
OMGosh!!! Thank you so much!! I am hoping this will kill all those pesky fruit gnats I keep having living and laying eggs in there. They drive me absolutely bonkers!!

@@lilbitofeverything6069 You're most welcome! so Hilarious! They are very pesky (understatement) they wont leave my indoor plants alone. That should really help, 2-3 times a month. 🙏😊
It works great for cleaning the food disposal area. I swear that thing holds water or something. I refuse to use it for food, I couldn’t imagine how it would smell.
If you put vinegar and baking soda at the same time, they neutralize each other, creating water and salt as a result, and idk how much you think that is cleaning :D If you want to use them for cleaning, use them separately. Just because they're 'foaming' when you mix them, doesn't mean they're cleaning.
I had a class in middle school that was about cooking, sewing and learning how to do taxes, stuff like that. How she taught all of us was, being we even started to cook, fill one side of the sink with hot water and soap. Every time we had a dirty dish, we’d throw it in the hot water until we were all done (except for knives). Then we had one person who would get the dishes, scrub them with more soap and then hand them to another person who rinsed them off, and then to another who dried them off, and the last who put them away. It was a team effort.
I go to culinary college and videos like this hurt me because anytime it's a video of someone cleaning their kitchen they always and I mean always use bleach and if you know or ever taken a food class you know you can't use that in the kitchen to clean whatever cleaners you use in your kitchen have to be food grade and now I can only think about the shear amount of people who clean their kitchen and it's all contaminated because of the chemicals they used to clean. Or if I see anyone washing fruits and veggies with soap I die a little more inside each time
This is how I do dishes, in a clean sink. I squeeze all the soap out of the sponge using scalding hot water and then put it on a wire rack for air flow.
@@mysterymadam8555 reminds me of my man who was in the marines. They cleaned their water packs with bleach, better than having moldy water I suppose ? Anyways, you can taste the bleach when you drink from it. No matter how well it’s cleaned, that taste remains.
My son asked me (as I was showing him how to rinse all the debris off the dishes before it becomes one with the dish before putting in the dishwasher) what was the point of the dishwasher if we clean them before putting them in? I replied TO SANITIZE THEM. Because germs.
@@OfficiallyOcean_old this is tru. And I have lived without a dishwasher many years. My boyfriend did not know how to use one until he moved in with me. I will never own a place without a place for a dishwasher...and the first thing I will do when I move is to install a top of the line Bosch!
Great video. I wash each dish, rinse, and put them away individually. I know it takes extra time but for some reason I find it therapeutic seeing each one get done and makes the job seem easier lol. I need to do a better job of rinsing the sponge after though lol.
I clean my double sinks, use Dawn dish washing liquid and the hottest water I can stand (I insist on Dawn as imo it does cut grease better and I find it takes less time for scrubbing in my house, and it lasts me longer, too, lol) a capful of bleach in the dish water when needed, then run them thru my dishwasher on the shortest cycle for a final sanitation. I do my glasses and coffee mugs first, then plates and bowls, silverware then the pots and pans w the nastiest ones being last and adding a bit of Dawn to the pot or pan when needed for extra scrubbing. I’ve worked food service for years now and if they’re not clean and sanitized after that process - then I missed scrubbing something off prior to putting them in the dishwasher, lol. Thanks for your tips!
Get yourself a drying pad for your dishes, they're the best thing ever 🙂 you can put the cups etc. on the pad and it absorbs any drips and water run off 💙
My family and I do it just like you do. This is why I like double sinks because you can fill one side up with hot water and take from there, wash it, set it on the right side. Then I empty the left side, clean the left side, and start rinsing on the left. Clean dishes won’t touch the left side, they go straight to the drip rack. The sponge gets rinsed and gets a douse of white vinegar to prevent mold, rinsed again and squeezed as much as possible. It won’t smell like vinegar once it dries. The sink gets a nice hot water rinse after spraying it with Lysol and the hot water evaporates in less than 15 minutes. Towels aren’t ever used because we believe towels promote germs and mold, we only use it to wipe up any splash from rinsing the plates and utensils.
That’s basically how my grandma taught me! Also the same. Glassware first as it’s usually got less grime, then silverware, then plates and bowls, drain the water and wash the pots and pans last. She taught me to fill the sink partially with HOT water and then soap on the sponge, and rinsing side was partially full of hot water as well and then the drying rack is where we organized them clean.
Also if you don’t use bleach while washing dishes you can use vinegar to sanitize dishes and to sanitize the sponge… you can spray the sponge with vinegar after you ring it out to minimize bacteria and odor
i put a splash of bleach in the dishwater with the soap. the bleach kills everyting, disolves small particles and discoloration (no spaghetti stained tuperware if you know what I mean). The bleach also prevents water/soap spots when dishes are drying and it cleans the sink for you so all you have to do is rinse it out.
Yessss i ALWAYS sanitize and scrub my sink before i wash my dishes!!! So glad to see someone else do this lol bkz it skeeves me out - even if the sink "looks" clean - I see the "before &after" and even tho it "looked clean" ... it looks much cleaner brighter and less shadowly/grimey - u can tell the difference 😉
I do the same thing & there's an order of types of dishes. This is how we were raised. I never knew this wasn't the norm until I was older. Glad we were raised this way 🙂
I crochet, so in both my sons' houses they've done away w/ sponges all together. I made some "rags" out of frayless garden nylon twine that seems to last forever. The one in TX has been in use about 2+ yrs now, & the one here almost 9 months. They do pots, pans, dishes, sinks, & stovetops w/out scratching, or fraying. The spools are abt $2 e/, & make abt 4 "rags". If you know anyone that crochets, maybe ask them to make some? They're a simple rectangle of dbl stitches, any size. ❤ Rinse, let dry. No sanitizing necessary.
I wash my dishes the same, I wash them inside and outside all together and rinse them all at once. Also, if I’m cooking I wash as I free up dishes because I hate having to wash all over again after dinner lol
I use few things to cook usually, but when I use more than a pan and one utensil (which doesn't happen often when cooking for 8+ people)...I wash cast iron pans immediately after it's emptied and then utensils and the dishes and silverware we ate off of. I clean the sink first, fill the sink, clean the dishes and as I go rinse each and put them in a rack (cast iron and wooden utensils get dried immediately and not until the rack is full either). Nothing drip dries unless you count while I fill the rack. I drain the sink, clean the sink again and because I use wash cloths, it goes right in the washer to be washed.
I have a sponge caddy that I use to put my sponge daddy's on. I don't pre rinse so much anymore, I just pop the dishes in the dishwasher, making sure to place them in such a way where the stuck on residues will have direct contact with hot water/cleaning agents. Then I pop a Cascade Platinum pod in to clean it all. Daily I use our dishwashers 1 hrs cycle to save on time & water.
I also scrub both sides of my sink out first, and I also wash my dish drainer rack that sits outside my sink. I fill up my wash side with hot water and soap, and I use a dish rag that gets bleached once a week in the wash. Dishes need to soak in hot soapy water and get rinsed in very warm water, as hot as your hands can tolerate.
Put a clean dish towel under the dish rack, rinse dirty dishes and place them out of the sink, wash sink, scrub and rinse all parts of each individual dish and put it in the dish drainer, dish sponge is rinsed out and goes in its place, wash sink again, wash counters, then dry sink and counters. I’m also very particular about how dishes are stacked in the dish drainer.
I keep a small bowl w/bleach water beside the sink - I’ll dip the sponge in it & squeeze it out to sanitize it when I’m done w/dishes & any other use (keeps it from getting that stinky water smell) 👍🏼
Girl that bleach in that dish water be hitting it kill all the germs 🦠 like these viruses an stds off the dishes like syphilis and cold source that really herpes 💅🏽
Similar to you 😊 I organize all the dishes in same piles plates bowls glasses silverware etc. usually try to soak anything big and wash that at the end. Streamline is cleanline
@@gottaloveme8935 Bleach is a strong and corrosive chemical, you don't need it on food items. Dish soap is enough and it's safe. The fumes from bleach are also harmful to you and your kids/pets if you have any.
This is not being a germaphobe. I could never put my dishes back in the sink face down after washing them. Ew. Also, putting to the cups face down where the mouth touches it? You might as well lick the sink. I make washing dishes very difficult because of my germaphobe mentality. 😰 I hover a foot from the sink hoping the counter doesn't touch my clothes. I wash my hands then wash each dish twice at a time before putting it on the drying rack. If a dish or my hand accidentally touches the sink or something i have to wash my hands again and then wash the dish again. I live in constant fear and i need help, i know. 😰
Do you take supplements? I used to be this exact way plus some! Like I couldn’t deal with my laundry if I was dirty. And by dirty I mean not FRESH out of the shower. Even then I’d have to wipe down my washer and dryer. Wash my hands. Open the doors. Wash my hands. Remove clothes from washer without touching ANYTHING not even myself or I’d have to wash it again. Start cycle. Wash hands. Take another shower before removing them from the dryer. Wipe out basket (side note I can’t handle seeing people use their dirty clothes hamper and then put clean clothes in it. Gross!) Open dryer door. Wash hands. Grab basket and unload. Fold carefully and put away without touching anything. The point… I was bad. I was given a prescription for serotonin. I didn’t take it but what I did do was take a complex B vitamin from life extension. Then I started taking their 2 A days with additional folate. After 6 months I started feeling a difference. I still can’t handle food in the sink but I’m not scared of my clean counter or washer and dryer. I was severely lacking in b vitamins. You might be too.
@@seadragon1456 OMG, I'm the exact same way with laundry! My friend who takes me to the laundry mat complains that i take forever to do laundry because of all the steps i have to take! He yells at me to just throw it in! 😂 I'll definitely look into these vitamins. Thank you!
How I do it and how I was taught, take out the dishes 1 by 1 and rinse the food off dishes that need it, stack and sort them on the cabinets so it’s easier for the next person to tag in(we had to wash in sessions because it was so many of us, someone did cups and silverware, someone did plates in bowls someone did pots and pans) then we’d clean BOTH sides of the sink w/ BLEACH AND SOAP. Then on one side put the sink stopper in to put water on one side then we put soap and bleach in a wash water then rinse the clean dishes in running water. Put the dishes on a drying towel to air dry
Kind of other way around for me, I scrub the sink after I clean all the dishes, in case there are remnants of food/grease left in the sink from washing the dishes. Then again I have a drying rack so I don't need a sink to be precleaned and dried beforehand to store them.
Dishwasher, most sanitary way if you have one. I get people don't, but I grew up around a lot of people who's parents wouldn't use the Dishwasher because they thought it wasn't as clean, which is false.
People who don't wash the outside of their dishes DISGUST me!! ESPECIALLY if they also STACK their dishes 🤢🤮 I highly approve of this hand-washing method! 💕💖
I have a rule in my house ( sink always clean ) 1.Rinse on the left side of sink 2. Put on right side of sink So when I’m washing them later, I was them in the empty left sink. I start with utensils, cups, lids, small plates to larger then to bowls and trays. Take them outside to the sun to dry if possible. Sponge as well.
Girl, same!!! I do have a sink of about 2 inches of super soapy water I put the dishes I'm about to scrub to soak a bit before I get busy. Then we are back to twinning.
I clean the sinks as well before washing. I then prep a large soapy cup, and wash and scrub everything put them on the empty side then rinse and put things in a dish rack. Clean sinks squeeze sponges and voila I’m done
Cups glasses and cutlery first, stack up all the dishes, clear up the rest of the kitchen while the sink fills up with boiling water to soak the dishes themselves, then organize and clear the glasses and cutlery and lastle wash and dry the dishes themselves, wipe everything down with soap and water and a microfiber cloth... Wish i could say o cleaned my sink beforehand as well but that's just something I've never done lol.
Welllll… I use a dish drainer. I run the water over the dirty dishes, make sure there’s no stuck on food, and the rest depends on my mood. Sometimes I wash everything and set it to the side and rinse at the same time, OR sometimes, usually if there’s not many dishes, wash and rinse as I go.
Throw your sponge in the dish wash once in a while and it won't get smelly. Or spray with Lysol let it sit, then rinse and squeeze as hot of water as you can stand. You'll be surprised at how long it will last.
I... load them in the dishwasher.... I heard this study once that it's actually a much more efficient use of water to run a dishwasher (provided its full) than to hand wash things. So I hand wash most pots and pans, things I use daily, and things that are barely dirty and everything else goes in the dishwasher
I don’t let clean dishes touch the sink after they’re clean. They go in a drying rack, which gets cleaned regularly, and the sink gets cleaned out after. I wouldn’t take the dirty dishes out to clean the sink bc now my counter is dirty from the dishes. This just feels backwards but if it works for you, no harm done ✌🏻
The way I do mine is I clean the sink both sides than I make the dish water add soap and a little bleach. Btw I use not use bleach but I noticed my kids would get sick a lot so I started using it because I remember when I was little and my grandma would use it we didn’t get sick. It helps sanitize the dishes really good. If y’all could give me some tips on a way to sanitize them feel free to do but that bleach and Palmolive original smells so good but I only use 2 splashes of bleach. But anyway I let them soak in the water about 4-5mins and I wash than and rinse them off really good.
I would never use a sponge to wash dishes. They harbor an enormous amount of bacteria. I fill sink with hot water, dish liquid and a small amount of bleach. Now that's clean!! I use a dish rag to wash.
Fill the sink with hot water and dish soap. Glasses and silverware first, then plates, bowls and pots and pans. Wash, rinse in hot water and set in dish drainer. In a house of 9, that's how we do it.
Odd, from what I've seen here in New Zealand, we try to not waste any water so running water while washing dishes isn't done. I rinse food bits yes, but then fill the sink with hot water and dish soap, and wash everything that way. Many homes don't have double sinks so this would change how we roll. Water is a precious commodity here (even though it's free in my part of New Zealand) so we try to make it go farther.
So I have a big sink . I bought a big plastic container that’s square add soap and let it on for about 5-10 then scrub both side of whatever I have . Risen on hot water so it will dry up faster . If I feel a bit extra. I boil water and dunk my utensils and other kitchen utensils.
I use a clean dishpan! I use Dawn and a plop of bleach. That is the way my mom taught me and she was an LPN! She had five children and we were hardly ever sick!
here is how I do it- Left side of the sink you put all the things that can't go in the dishwasher. Right side you put the dishwasher stuff and rinse them off. Then they go into the dishwasher. Now go back to the other dishes and go from biggest to smallest. We have cloth mats we dry them on so the sink is empty after. Then rice out the sponge and dry the sink. done!
I use Internet Shaquille’s method (he has a video on it) that sped up my dishwashing a lot. I also watched a long video about how dishwashers actually work and I learned 2 major things - run your kitchen sink with hot water for a minute or two until it actually heats up and then turn on the dishwasher. In the dishwasher, always use a powder dish detergent in the pre wash, along with your usual detergent in the main wash. Both of these tips have been game changers in my dishwashing!
1 st i wash down, then I let my dishes soak in hot water, then drain then I make the soapy water and scrub them down by brush then I drain it agian to let them soak In hot water agian, then the dishwasher and finaly I dry them and put them away in the cupboard 😊👍
I make sure to clean the sink afterwards as well as the area around it. Weekly, I will use bleach and Ajax for a deep clean as well. All towels get thrown in the wash weekly as well (I have about 21 towels and dish rags so I’m never out). I cycle my disposal and dishwasher too. OMGosh writing this made me realize I’m obsessed. 😅

I will burn, sterilize, and foam their asses!! Ha!
@@lilbitofeverything6069 You're most welcome! so Hilarious! They are very pesky (understatement) they wont leave my indoor plants alone. That should really help, 2-3 times a month. 🙏😊
It works great for cleaning the food disposal area. I swear that thing holds water or something.
I refuse to use it for food, I couldn’t imagine how it would smell.
@@cha_os3 😁 I've had that experience, try the baking soda & Peroxide solution, it should help. All the best! 🙏🤗
If you put vinegar and baking soda at the same time, they neutralize each other, creating water and salt as a result, and idk how much you think that is cleaning :D If you want to use them for cleaning, use them separately. Just because they're 'foaming' when you mix them, doesn't mean they're cleaning.
I had a class in middle school that was about cooking, sewing and learning how to do taxes, stuff like that. How she taught all of us was, being we even started to cook, fill one side of the sink with hot water and soap. Every time we had a dirty dish, we’d throw it in the hot water until we were all done (except for knives).
Then we had one person who would get the dishes, scrub them with more soap and then hand them to another person who rinsed them off, and then to another who dried them off, and the last who put them away. It was a team effort.
Yep, that's how we'd always do it at our summer youth camp each year up in the hills (India). Saves water and soap usage.
I go to culinary college and videos like this hurt me because anytime it's a video of someone cleaning their kitchen they always and I mean always use bleach and if you know or ever taken a food class you know you can't use that in the kitchen to clean whatever cleaners you use in your kitchen have to be food grade and now I can only think about the shear amount of people who clean their kitchen and it's all contaminated because of the chemicals they used to clean. Or if I see anyone washing fruits and veggies with soap I die a little more inside each time
This is how I do dishes, in a clean sink. I squeeze all the soap out of the sponge using scalding hot water and then put it on a wire rack for air flow.
@@mysterymadam8555 reminds me of my man who was in the marines. They cleaned their water packs with bleach, better than having moldy water I suppose ? Anyways, you can taste the bleach when you drink from it. No matter how well it’s cleaned, that taste remains.
@@mysterymadam8555 What do you use?
I use something called a dish washer lmao 🤣. But when I do have to hand wash I just use a sponge and dish soap and that’s it
fr
Came to say the same thing. Spent big $ for a dishwasher so I can SANITIZE!
Not all houses have dishwashers or even a place to put one. Hand washing them is your best bet if you can’t afford one
My son asked me (as I was showing him how to rinse all the debris off the dishes before it becomes one with the dish before putting in the dishwasher) what was the point of the dishwasher if we clean them before putting them in? I replied TO SANITIZE THEM.
Because germs.
@@OfficiallyOcean_old this is tru. And I have lived without a dishwasher many years. My boyfriend did not know how to use one until he moved in with me.
I will never own a place without a place for a dishwasher...and the first thing I will do when I move is to install a top of the line Bosch!
Great video. I wash each dish, rinse, and put them away individually. I know it takes extra time but for some reason I find it therapeutic seeing each one get done and makes the job seem easier lol. I need to do a better job of rinsing the sponge after though lol.
I clean my double sinks, use Dawn dish washing liquid and the hottest water I can stand (I insist on Dawn as imo it does cut grease better and I find it takes less time for scrubbing in my house, and it lasts me longer, too, lol) a capful of bleach in the dish water when needed, then run them thru my dishwasher on the shortest cycle for a final sanitation. I do my glasses and coffee mugs first, then plates and bowls, silverware then the pots and pans w the nastiest ones being last and adding a bit of Dawn to the pot or pan when needed for extra scrubbing. I’ve worked food service for years now and if they’re not clean and sanitized after that process - then I missed scrubbing something off prior to putting them in the dishwasher, lol. Thanks for your tips!
microwaving the wet sponge after using it is a game changer- it sanitizes it so it lasts longer.
Get yourself a drying pad for your dishes, they're the best thing ever 🙂 you can put the cups etc. on the pad and it absorbs any drips and water run off 💙
💯
This is exactly how I wash my dishes.❤❤❤❤🙏🏾
Great minds think alike 😉
Me too. Taught my sons to clean the same way. They fought me on this when they were teens, but as adults they do it the exact same way funny enough
Me, too!
My family and I do it just like you do. This is why I like double sinks because you can fill one side up with hot water and take from there, wash it, set it on the right side. Then I empty the left side, clean the left side, and start rinsing on the left. Clean dishes won’t touch the left side, they go straight to the drip rack. The sponge gets rinsed and gets a douse of white vinegar to prevent mold, rinsed again and squeezed as much as possible. It won’t smell like vinegar once it dries. The sink gets a nice hot water rinse after spraying it with Lysol and the hot water evaporates in less than 15 minutes. Towels aren’t ever used because we believe towels promote germs and mold, we only use it to wipe up any splash from rinsing the plates and utensils.
That’s basically how my grandma taught me! Also the same. Glassware first as it’s usually got less grime, then silverware, then plates and bowls, drain the water and wash the pots and pans last. She taught me to fill the sink partially with HOT water and then soap on the sponge, and rinsing side was partially full of hot water as well and then the drying rack is where we organized them clean.
Also if you don’t use bleach while washing dishes you can use vinegar to sanitize dishes and to sanitize the sponge… you can spray the sponge with vinegar after you ring it out to minimize bacteria and odor
How do you use bleach while washing dishes?
i put a splash of bleach in the dishwater with the soap. the bleach kills everyting, disolves small particles and discoloration (no spaghetti stained tuperware if you know what I mean). The bleach also prevents water/soap spots when dishes are drying and it cleans the sink for you so all you have to do is rinse it out.
The safest was is to use the dishwasher! The water to hotter and the detergent stronger and no sponges or towels to contaminate dishes
Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one to do this exact routine! It's perfect and thank you for washing around the sink when you're done! Beautiful!
I do too!!!! Exactly like this!!!
I thought I was the only one. lol!
Yessss i ALWAYS sanitize and scrub my sink before i wash my dishes!!!
So glad to see someone else do this lol bkz it skeeves me out - even if the sink "looks" clean -
I see the "before &after" and even tho it "looked clean" ... it looks much cleaner brighter and less shadowly/grimey - u can tell the difference 😉
I do the same thing & there's an order of types of dishes. This is how we were raised. I never knew this wasn't the norm until I was older. Glad we were raised this way 🙂
Yes! My partner will wash food plates then glasses and it makes me feel sick, he doesn't know about the order 😖😂
Yes
I crochet, so in both my sons' houses they've done away w/ sponges all together. I made some "rags" out of frayless garden nylon twine that seems to last forever. The one in TX has been in use about 2+ yrs now, & the one here almost 9 months. They do pots, pans, dishes, sinks, & stovetops w/out scratching, or fraying. The spools are abt $2 e/, & make abt 4 "rags". If you know anyone that crochets, maybe ask them to make some? They're a simple rectangle of dbl stitches, any size. ❤ Rinse, let dry. No sanitizing necessary.
I wash my dishes the same, I wash them inside and outside all together and rinse them all at once. Also, if I’m cooking I wash as I free up dishes because I hate having to wash all over again after dinner lol
You wash dishes like 👍 a PRO. Subscribed to channel for more amazing videos 👏 👌 📹.
I use few things to cook usually, but when I use more than a pan and one utensil (which doesn't happen often when cooking for 8+ people)...I wash cast iron pans immediately after it's emptied and then utensils and the dishes and silverware we ate off of. I clean the sink first, fill the sink, clean the dishes and as I go rinse each and put them in a rack (cast iron and wooden utensils get dried immediately and not until the rack is full either). Nothing drip dries unless you count while I fill the rack. I drain the sink, clean the sink again and because I use wash cloths, it goes right in the washer to be washed.
I have a sponge caddy that I use to put my sponge daddy's on. I don't pre rinse so much anymore, I just pop the dishes in the dishwasher, making sure to place them in such a way where the stuck on residues will have direct contact with hot water/cleaning agents. Then I pop a Cascade Platinum pod in to clean it all. Daily I use our dishwashers 1 hrs cycle to save on time & water.
I wash my dishes before I wash my dishes. And I hate it when my husband mishandles the sponge.
You just reminded me that I have to wash my dishes 😂
oh shit! me too. it's flippin 1 am rn as well
She's does it EXACTLY how I do it. Didn't realize it was a bit much until she said it out loud lol
I also scrub both sides of my sink out first, and I also wash my dish drainer rack that sits outside my sink. I fill up my wash side with hot water and soap, and I use a dish rag that gets bleached once a week in the wash. Dishes need to soak in hot soapy water and get rinsed in very warm water, as hot as your hands can tolerate.
Yes girl tell them. It's come to my attention alot of people don't know how to wash dishes.
See I was going to say exactly that 👀 but people get pressed so I didn’t want to get anyone mad. ☺️
Whoever made this movie doesn't know either
Put a clean dish towel under the dish rack, rinse dirty dishes and place them out of the sink, wash sink, scrub and rinse all parts of each individual dish and put it in the dish drainer, dish sponge is rinsed out and goes in its place, wash sink again, wash counters, then dry sink and counters. I’m also very particular about how dishes are stacked in the dish drainer.
I gotta clean both sinks first.
I keep a small bowl w/bleach water beside the sink - I’ll dip the sponge in it & squeeze it out to sanitize it when I’m done w/dishes & any other use (keeps it from getting that stinky water smell) 👍🏼
I soak mine for awhile every so often for the same result. Hate the mildewy smell (story of my life growing up)
I hope you mean that you keep that bowl by the sink WHILE you’re doing dishes. Once water is added to bleach, it quickly deteriorates.
I just use ScrubDaddy sponges now and they never get the mildest smell since they’re antibacterial
@@username00009 I did say a ‘small bowl’, so it does get refreshed as needed (common sense)
Girl that bleach in that dish water be hitting it kill all the germs 🦠 like these viruses an stds off the dishes like syphilis and cold source that really herpes 💅🏽
Similar to you 😊 I organize all the dishes in same piles plates bowls glasses silverware etc. usually try to soak anything big and wash that at the end. Streamline is cleanline
My mom taught me the same way!! I have to have a clean sink and rinsed dishes before I start washing dishes.
Really inspiring video helped someones Career.
That's meeee allday but I have to use bleach as well 😂😂😂😂 and my children say it's just to much work 💪🏽😑
Me too, need the bleach
You shouldn't use any bleach on dishes or objects that will touch food.
@@Etianen7🤔 said who if it's not staying on it after being cleaned and washed off
@@gottaloveme8935 Bleach is a strong and corrosive chemical, you don't need it on food items. Dish soap is enough and it's safe. The fumes from bleach are also harmful to you and your kids/pets if you have any.
@@ItBeThatWaySometimes Because I love washing them myself
This is not being a germaphobe. I could never put my dishes back in the sink face down after washing them. Ew. Also, putting to the cups face down where the mouth touches it? You might as well lick the sink. I make washing dishes very difficult because of my germaphobe mentality. 😰
I hover a foot from the sink hoping the counter doesn't touch my clothes. I wash my hands then wash each dish twice at a time before putting it on the drying rack. If a dish or my hand accidentally touches the sink or something i have to wash my hands again and then wash the dish again. I live in constant fear and i need help, i know. 😰
Do you take supplements?
I used to be this exact way plus some! Like I couldn’t deal with my laundry if I was dirty. And by dirty I mean not FRESH out of the shower.
Even then I’d have to wipe down my washer and dryer.
Wash my hands.
Open the doors.
Wash my hands.
Remove clothes from washer without touching ANYTHING not even myself or I’d have to wash it again.
Start cycle.
Wash hands.
Take another shower before removing them from the dryer.
Wipe out basket (side note I can’t handle seeing people use their dirty clothes hamper and then put clean clothes in it. Gross!)
Open dryer door.
Wash hands.
Grab basket and unload.
Fold carefully and put away without touching anything.
The point… I was bad. I was given a prescription for serotonin. I didn’t take it but what I did do was take a complex B vitamin from life extension. Then I started taking their 2
A days with additional folate.
After 6 months I started feeling a difference.
I still can’t handle food in the sink but I’m not scared of my clean counter or washer and dryer. I was severely lacking in b vitamins. You might be too.
@@seadragon1456 OMG, I'm the exact same way with laundry! My friend who takes me to the laundry mat complains that i take forever to do laundry because of all the steps i have to take! He yells at me to just throw it in! 😂 I'll definitely look into these vitamins. Thank you!
Definitely sounds like real OCD.
@@seadragon1456,
You are an Angel to share this! I'm taking notes....have an OCD family member and will share with them. Thank you.
How I do it and how I was taught, take out the dishes 1 by 1 and rinse the food off dishes that need it, stack and sort them on the cabinets so it’s easier for the next person to tag in(we had to wash in sessions because it was so many of us, someone did cups and silverware, someone did plates in bowls someone did pots and pans) then we’d clean BOTH sides of the sink w/ BLEACH AND SOAP. Then on one side put the sink stopper in to put water on one side then we put soap and bleach in a wash water then rinse the clean dishes in running water. Put the dishes on a drying towel to air dry
Yes girl I pretty much have the same routine I honestly think that’s the only way to clean ur dishes and kitchen as u go
“Yes the outside” as if that’s unheard of 😭😭
You go girl!
I have pretty close to the the same thing!
So agree with the way you do it!
Thought I was the only one who did that!
Wash as you use it. I hate washing what I didn’t use😂😂😂 I’m not a maid and if I do maid work. I charge my son out of his allowance
I was taught to rinse off food residue, soak dishes/utensils, wash by hand then put in the dishwasher.
I put them in the dishwasher. That’s it 😂 don’t have time to hand wash around here lol
If I didn’t have a dishwasher, yeah I guess I’d do it this way
I thoroughly wash mine(always while wearing gloves, mainly to protect my gel polish). Then, they go in the dishwasher for an extra clean/sanitizing.
Waste of water and time
Kind of other way around for me, I scrub the sink after I clean all the dishes, in case there are remnants of food/grease left in the sink from washing the dishes. Then again I have a drying rack so I don't need a sink to be precleaned and dried beforehand to store them.
Dishwasher, most sanitary way if you have one. I get people don't, but I grew up around a lot of people who's parents wouldn't use the Dishwasher because they thought it wasn't as clean, which is false.
People who don't wash the outside of their dishes DISGUST me!! ESPECIALLY if they also STACK their dishes 🤢🤮 I highly approve of this hand-washing method! 💕💖
Wash the sink last. 👩🏾🏫Who washes a sink to put dirty stuff right back in it?🤦🏾♀️🙄
I have a rule in my house ( sink always clean )
1.Rinse on the left side of sink
2. Put on right side of sink
So when I’m washing them later, I was them in the empty left sink.
I start with utensils, cups, lids, small plates to larger then to bowls and trays.
Take them outside to the sun to dry if possible. Sponge as well.
Girl, same!!! I do have a sink of about 2 inches of super soapy water I put the dishes I'm about to scrub to soak a bit before I get busy. Then we are back to twinning.
Everything you said I just SOAK them in HOT water as well. If super dirty or stained I will add a splash of lemon juice and/or ac vinegar . 🙌 bless
I clean the sinks as well before washing. I then prep a large soapy cup, and wash and scrub everything put them on the empty side then rinse and put things in a dish rack. Clean sinks squeeze sponges and voila I’m done
Cups glasses and cutlery first, stack up all the dishes, clear up the rest of the kitchen while the sink fills up with boiling water to soak the dishes themselves, then organize and clear the glasses and cutlery and lastle wash and dry the dishes themselves, wipe everything down with soap and water and a microfiber cloth... Wish i could say o cleaned my sink beforehand as well but that's just something I've never done lol.
I wash my dishes like you! I thought I was the only one in the whole world to do this! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yeah I'm a sink scrubber too it's so icky and yes I've organized them separately since I was 5, in order of how they went in the drainer ❤
Welllll… I use a dish drainer. I run the water over the dirty dishes, make sure there’s no stuck on food, and the rest depends on my mood. Sometimes I wash everything and set it to the side and rinse at the same time, OR sometimes, usually if there’s not many dishes, wash and rinse as I go.
Throw your sponge in the dish wash once in a while and it won't get smelly. Or spray with Lysol let it sit, then rinse and squeeze as hot of water as you can stand. You'll be surprised at how long it will last.
I... load them in the dishwasher....
I heard this study once that it's actually a much more efficient use of water to run a dishwasher (provided its full) than to hand wash things. So I hand wash most pots and pans, things I use daily, and things that are barely dirty and everything else goes in the dishwasher
I don’t let clean dishes touch the sink after they’re clean. They go in a drying rack, which gets cleaned regularly, and the sink gets cleaned out after. I wouldn’t take the dirty dishes out to clean the sink bc now my counter is dirty from the dishes. This just feels backwards but if it works for you, no harm done ✌🏻
Me too!!!!! I LOVE your cleaning style!!! ❤
I use the anthea turner method .
Good - Glassware
Cleaning - Cutlery
Makes - Mugs
Perfect - pots and pans
Home - Hardware
The way I do mine is I clean the sink both sides than I make the dish water add soap and a little bleach. Btw I use not use bleach but I noticed my kids would get sick a lot so I started using it because I remember when I was little and my grandma would use it we didn’t get sick. It helps sanitize the dishes really good. If y’all could give me some tips on a way to sanitize them feel free to do but that bleach and Palmolive original smells so good but I only use 2 splashes of bleach. But anyway I let them soak in the water about 4-5mins and I wash than and rinse them off really good.
Don't forget the handles on utensils, pots and pans. I had to teach my husband this but after 30 years, he got the hang of it, lol!!
Also a professional cleaner ! And this is exactly how I do it
"how do you wash your dishes" just like that...😂
I would never use a sponge to wash dishes. They harbor an enormous amount of bacteria. I fill sink with hot water, dish liquid and a small amount of bleach. Now that's clean!! I use a dish rag to wash.
Fill the sink with hot water and dish soap. Glasses and silverware first, then plates, bowls and pots and pans. Wash, rinse in hot water and set in dish drainer. In a house of 9, that's how we do it.
Most UK sinks are not double sinks. So I rinse, wash, then rinse. And leave on the draining board at the side to dry
Odd, from what I've seen here in New Zealand, we try to not waste any water so running water while washing dishes isn't done. I rinse food bits yes, but then fill the sink with hot water and dish soap, and wash everything that way. Many homes don't have double sinks so this would change how we roll. Water is a precious commodity here (even though it's free in my part of New Zealand) so we try to make it go farther.
I thought I was the only one who needed a clean sink first!
I do it similarly. I don't fill the sink with water, I scrub them all with soap and then rinse them all at once
So I have a big sink . I bought a big plastic container that’s square add soap and let it on for about 5-10 then scrub both side of whatever I have . Risen on hot water so it will dry up faster . If I feel a bit extra. I boil water and dunk my utensils and other kitchen utensils.
I use a clean dishpan! I use Dawn and a plop of bleach. That is the way my mom taught me and she was an LPN! She had five children and we were hardly ever sick!
here is how I do it-
Left side of the sink you put all the things that can't go in the dishwasher.
Right side you put the dishwasher stuff and rinse them off. Then they go into the dishwasher.
Now go back to the other dishes and go from biggest to smallest. We have cloth mats we dry them on so the sink is empty after. Then rice out the sponge and dry the sink. done!
This was so satisfying to watch
I use Internet Shaquille’s method (he has a video on it) that sped up my dishwashing a lot. I also watched a long video about how dishwashers actually work and I learned 2 major things - run your kitchen sink with hot water for a minute or two until it actually heats up and then turn on the dishwasher. In the dishwasher, always use a powder dish detergent in the pre wash, along with your usual detergent in the main wash. Both of these tips have been game changers in my dishwashing!
1 st i wash down, then I let my dishes soak in hot water, then drain then I make the soapy water and scrub them down by brush then I drain it agian to let them soak In hot water agian, then the dishwasher and finaly I dry them and put them away in the cupboard 😊👍
Word, Woman!!!❤ My kids make fun of me because I wash them almost exactly like you do. It is the only may to wash them perfectly!
I use a little bleach to clean my sinks and to sanitize my sponge before the final rinse and air dry. I follow the same order as you.
I wash cups and silverware first. Then plates and pots. I like to use to cleanest water for anything that touches our mouths
I make sure to clean the sink afterwards as well as the area around it. Weekly, I will use bleach and Ajax for a deep clean as well. All towels get thrown in the wash weekly as well (I have about 21 towels and dish rags so I’m never out). I cycle my disposal and dishwasher too. OMGosh writing this made me realize I’m obsessed. 😅
I do my dishes the same. As a child I didn't understand it but now I get it Mom.
Good tip soak sponge in vinegar if it starts to smell and add hot water
I Rinse my Dishes to Make Sure they are Washed in Clean Dish Water. The Sink and Counters are then Thoroughly Cleaned.
