Wash dishes by hand or dishwasher? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

You know it's a slow day when I'm asking lame questions like this, lol.

It's only me and my husband, so I wash dishes by hand. Otherwise, I'd run out of certain items all the time.

When we have company for dinner or on holidays, I use the dishwasher and always use Cascade. I think dishwashers clean better and are more sanitary than handwashing, but I wash them very thoroughly with very hot water and Dawn.

Who does the dishes in your house or who loads and empties the dishwasher?

I don't have an electric dishwasher so I have to use the manual, that I have to crank up, check the oil frequently and not push her buttons too much so it doesn't fry!

Also, I don't have much to wash since we use disposable plates

i usually do the dishes by hand, there's just the two of us, and the cats REFUSE to use dishes or help out

Well... I still live with my parents and they have a dishwasher and I will defintely have one when I live on my own. I'm lazy.

Dishwasher. Washing by hand is probably the worst possible chore you can do.

Washer. Few years ago when my mother worked nights Dad put me in charge of doing the dishes. They always told me to rinse them and clean them off well before I put them in the washer since it was old and not as strong as the newer ones, but I never did.

So glad I dont do that anymore. I wouldnt. Touching dirty water honestly brings a lump to my throat, and then it gets under your nails and it smells

. When I washed, if I couldnt find the gloves, I used baggies to cover my hands.

Dishwhat? Sorry, don't have a dishwasher and never had one growing up. I was forced to clean dishes the old fashioned way. It's not so bad, though. I doubt I'm ever going to get one when I'm older since I've been cleaning dishes by hand for so many years. It's hard to get used to new technology.

Dishwasher

Ewan's My Man · 11-14-2004, 04:43 PM

We have a dishwasher. Usually my mom loads it, or my dad, sometimes I will. It's my sister's chore to unload it everyday. She never does until like 10 at night and my mom hasta remind her continuously to do it. Major pain in the ass.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 11-14-2004, 05:31 PM

I use the dishwasher for plates and stuff but I wash pans by hand.

TJL · 11-14-2004, 05:36 PM

I wash the dishes in my house.

Just look at these hands!!!

Chambers · 11-14-2004, 05:46 PM

No dishwasher...just sink. But I use gloves so I don't burn and/or chap my hands.

Brian · 11-14-2004, 05:47 PM

My parents use the dishwasher but they rinse the dishes in the sink first.

*MIBabe03* · 11-14-2004, 05:55 PM

I just throw them in the dishwasher. I'm too damn lazy to wash them first.
