    I did, in that terrible time without the dishwasher, that I would like to forget. I was taking a plate, scrubbing it with a sponge and then rinsing it with clean water from the tap.
    Or do you want me to tell, y’all using a dirty sink full of dirty water to do it?

      That’s a terrible ineffective method, and a waste of water.

      Fill one sink with hot water + soup, put as much dishes in it as possible to soak them, and fill the other sink with fresh hot water. Clean one dish after another, preferably with a brush (you’ll burn your hands using a sponge), rinse them in the clean water, and put them on the dryer.

      If you do not have a second sink, use a tub for either purpose.

      And yes, the water will get dirty and cool over time, and you’ll have to switch if you’ve got too much dishes.

      Of course, if you’re only cleaning a plate and a knife and perhaos a glas, using just the tap is far more efficient.

        But the water is dirty. All this dirt you cleaned is there, in your water, floating, clinging to whatever comes close.
