  See them? Zero

  The most common problem I have with other people’s dishes (often relatives) is that they are greasy after it’s been washed because they use the same water for the entire set of dishes and especially if their dish washing order sucks.

  When hand washing I always do it in a particular order:

  Re-usable Water Bottles, Pot lids which are not visibly dirty, Glasses/Cups, Utensils.

  If the water is now greasy, I will drain and re-fill at this point.

  Then Plates and bowls, Baking pans that are not greasy, Pots, Frying Pans, then Baking pans that are greasy.

    I can’t say I have ever used the filled sink method, except to steep items. I run the hot water at a lowish pressure and wash with a soapy sponge then rinse each item. It doesn’t matter what order I do it and there’s no pool of water to get greasy.

      Do you only have a single sink? Most homes here come with double sinks (left and right)

      I put hot soapy water in the left, and then pull things out and wash, then rinse in the right.

      The soaking makes it significantly easier to scrub/wash grime and grease off.

        Double sink, but I have kids, so one sink is pretty much just for their bottles, cups etc or for soaking pots and pans.
