  • 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

    If you have enough sinks, or a big enough pot to soak them in, one soak in hot soapy water, wash them all in the next sink, do your scrub-scrub without rinsing then rinse them all in bulk, then final rinse by dipping them into a sink full of hot water with a little bleach.

    Then dry them with a clean towel.

    That’s how we hand wash when the dishwasher was broken and someone in the house was sick. Because otherwise my husband will wash them with the water running the whole time.

    At the very least, unless you have some real stuck on food, there’s no point in leaving soap on the dishes. It’s actually better to rinse them immediately. Soap acts like a magnet that brings oil and water together. That soapy magnet grabs up all the grime and gets rinsed away with water. Leaving dirty soap magnets on your dishes just gives them a chance to dry up and stick back onto the dishes.

      It’s certainly not going to dry very much in 30 seconds though

        🤣 for whatever reason, my brain read 30 minutes. It seemed a bit excessive.
