| 457109 | 2006-05-23 16:20:00 | My wife has the misfortune to be married to someone who has spent most of his working life in research laboratories where cleaning glassware and instruments were a highly skilled exact science. Nothing she does in the dishes cleaning operations in our house can pass my eagle-eyed inspection and consequently she leaves all of that to me. Well, I suppose I deserve what I get! Some would agree with my wife that I have a treatable psychological condition when I confess that I wash the food from the dishes in hot water with detergent then rinse them BEFORE puttting them into the dishwasher. I think it would be only a slight exaggeration to say that the dishes are cleaner when they go into the dishwasher than when they come out. :illogical |

| 457110 | 2006-05-23 20:49:00 | Slightly off topic. Today I got a cleaning lady in to do the oven. I'm ashamed to say it was filthy. I gave up cleaning it over a year ago. Actualy I can't stoop down long enough to do any cleaning. Anyway two and a quarter hours later my oven looks like brand new. Best $45 I ever spent. Trouble is I'm frightened to use the oven now. Guess it will be frying pan or microwave for a while. Use it! You have a cleaning lady and $45 to clean an oven is pretty good value. I hate cleaning mine. Its your job to make it dirty so she can earn herself another $45. |

| 457111 | 2006-05-23 20:54:00 | It is possible the practice of leaving dishes dirty, ie unrinsed, goes back to when hot water tank heaters were typically only 1 KW, and the powers that be decided when you would or would not have hot water. I remember when I became aware that monster size 2 KW were available, and we thankfully had one fitted. |

| 457112 | 2006-05-23 21:14:00 | Years ago I briefly thought about getting a big gleaming F&P dishwasher, ............. but got a wife instead. :p The F&P dishwasher turns out would have been much MUCH cheaper. ;) |

They are notorious for being filthy. :horrified: How often to you clean yours? Mine is filthy! shall i put it in the dish washer or will steaming hot water be suffice? |

| 457115 | 2006-05-24 00:18:00 | We use a dishwasher which is in the sliced bread category - wouldn't be without it. We always rinse stuff under cold water before putting it in the machine. Some people don't but it works for us. As for using the sink - American homes used to have two sinks. One for rinsing and one for washing. My wife's family had this in Invercargill and she still hankers after two sinks. Waste of space if you ask me but I just keep quiet. :D Personally I don't bother rinsing after washing but my wife's extended family do. |

It's just that tank technology is better these days. We have a dishwasher, couldn't do without it. In fact, if I was starting out again, I think the dishwasher would be purchased before the washing machine. |
