782424 2009-06-17 10:33:00 This thread leads to me reflect on a friend who has a part time housekeeper who arrives three times a week to look after such things as laundry, pre-preparing meals, vacuming, all those mundane chores. And yes, the said housekeeper is the custodian and chief operator of the dishwasher.

But my friend insists on tidying the house, rinsing the dishes etc, prior to the housekeeper arriving ... this female logic escapes me - why have a housekeeper in the first place? Probably explains why my friend has not been elevated to a SWMBO :confused:

It also puzzles me that painters put on expensive undercoat and immediately cover it up with another layer or two of paint so no-one can see it until it's all coming off. Must be a logic commonality there. (Or lack of it.) ;)

782426 2009-06-17 21:39:00 I got a question

Do you guys rinse your dishes before drying them? or do you just simply wash it then just dry it?

I noticed alot of people that after washing the dishes they simply dry it. They don't rinse the dish washing liquid first.

Seems a bit strange?

Yeah - a long time ago I had a Japanese flatmate and she washed the dished with dishwashing liquid - then refilled the sink with clean hot water and rinsed them all - then dried them. Though she did say that in Japan the dishwashing liquid (or powder maybe?) is not good for you and you have to rinse it off.

782428 2009-06-18 04:17:00 Mmmmm.....Yes, always rinse (not wash) the dishes with cold water before putting them in the dishwasher. Couldn't imagine placing crockery in with lumps of food on it. :xmouth:

Must say though, had an AEG dishwasher which handled anything and everything we could throw at it. We could never over-fill it either. Rinsing was possibly unnecessary with that.

I currently have a bog standard F&P machine which, when roused, can sort-of wash a few dishes. On a good day. It's a complete lottery as to whether dishes and cutlery come out with or without sparkling dried-on stains.

Possibly its my fault for being silly enough to fill the slots in the racks with dishes. :D Seems to be happier with a half load. YMMV

782429 2009-06-18 10:49:00 If dishwashers do such a great job of cleaning dishes, why are we being exhorted to buy miracle cleaners to clean the dishwasher? Should we use that on the dishes too? R2x1 (4628)
