LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoWhy do you keep focusing on “water”? I don’t get what you’re getting at. You don’t wash dishes with just water.
You wash dishes by squeezing some dishwashing liquid on a dishwashing sponge, then pour hot water onto the dish being cleaned, then you scrub it clean with the sponge.
Then when there are no longer any visible stains on the dishes in question, the dishes are clean and you put them on a drying rack and/or pay them down with a towel.
All i see going into the sink during this process is soapy water.

The question was can I pour oil down the drain. The "Rule of Thumb" (a general catch-all rule that plumbers use) is if it can't rinse away with water, don't pour it down the drain. I replied to whether you can pour olive oil down the drain. I don't know why you started talking about washing dishes.

But nothing rinses away with just water? That’s why I assumed you meant “rinsing with water” = “washing dishes”.
Why would that even be a rule of thumb? Who rinses dishes with water instead of washing them normally?
