TIPS FOR MAKING THE DISHES BY HAND

1. Do not put dirty dishes in the sink

It's scary and it doesn't make you want to do it!

2. Instead, put it in a basin near the sink

This way, your sink is always clean and accessible for washing dishes. If you don't have a basin, we recommend this one.

3. If you have roommates, assign a different bin to each person.

4. Keep an empty basin in your (clean) sink. And when you are ready to do the dishes, fill it with hot water and put a few drops of washing up liquid.

The plastic tub method saves time and water. Run the hottest water possible (without it burning you anyway!) And use dishwashing gloves.

5. If you don't have a basin, you can put a stopper and fill the sink with soapy water.

But above all, do not wash the plates one by one while letting the water run like this cat does ...

6. If you have a very dirty pot or pan with hardened dirt, put water in it and let it soak while you start doing the dishes.

7. Start with the cleanest and end with the dirtiest.

This way, you change the dishwater less often.

8. Clean things in the following order: glasses first ...

It's best to wash the glasses first before washing other greasy things because otherwise you risk leaving marks on the glasses.

9.… then the cutlery…

As the cutlery goes in the mouth, it is important that they are very well cleaned after the glasses.

10.… then the plates (after having emptied them well)…

11.… then the casseroles…

12.… and the pans last because that's what is the most fatty
