BONUS TIPS: Wash with the hottest water you can handle Use the last bit of bowlsoap to wipe down kitchen surfaces Never store your sponge soaking wet Disinfect your sponge regularly, either in the dishwasher, microwave, or bleach Call your parents and thank them for raising you

[@meriem8738]

yeah i'll definitly do the last one thanks for the reminder

[@hongjoomong]

Other tips that make dishwashing even easier 1. Don't put cups and wineglass into the sink until the dishwashing begins, as they become harder to clean. Put them right next to the sink. 2. At home with family, you don't need soap for relatively clean dishes. I'm talking about dishes or cups that contained fruit, water, juice or vegetables; just wash them with soap-less sponge straight after you've used them. 3. Stack in right direction(bottom-up for bowls, side-to-side for dishes). They'll dry naturally with time. You don't need to waste time drying them with a towel. 4. Scrubbing the frying pan or other metal utensils too much makes the coating come off and exposes toxic components in the heat. For simple usage like frying eggs, just wipe with kitchen towel right after cooking until it gets dirty. 5. If you've eaten something especially greasy, wipe the utensil with a nepkin/tissue that's been just used to wipe your mouth or something. It'll save so much time and water in the long run 6. If a used bowl or pan is dirty, put some water in it. It'll prevent food bits from getting dry and becoming a nuisance.

[@JohnBrown-of4pw]

Internet Shaquille I use to use the sponge, but now I just use a wet rag and dry rag, also uses a dishwasher And wash the knives after each use immediately with wet rag dry rag.

[@stevencanden2911]

What about boiling sponges?

[@qwerty842]

Another tip, try to be efficient with your time. Wash dishes as you're cooking so when you finish you don't have a giant pile of crud that may seem daunting. Also if you have a small basin for your sink, having to wash loads of dishes at a time becomes rather difficult. For example, if you just prepped some veggies/meat and now they're simmering away on the stove, then you have a few minutes to clean whatever you used to prep that food.

[@DoppCreations]

Fun fact, mental barriers around sorting and organizing things is a common symptom of adult ADHD. Not diagnosing you, but my wife has ADHD so this is a struggle for us. We have reached a compromise that "clean is good enough" and most of our clean dishes get put in the dishwasher to dry and thats where they stay until we use them again.

Air dry is better

[@hotcottagecoregramma6703]

My roommate bought me rubber gloves because I kept complaining that washing dishes was irritating the eczema on my hands and wrists and they've honestly become such a game changer. Also with ADHD, I will always go with the attitude that "some is better than none". Even if I can't get everything clean, as long as the pile is smaller than when I started that should be counted as a win. Whatever gets the chore done enough that I can still have stuff to cook with and eat off of.

[@steggopotamus]

I have ADHD and I do similar, If I have a lot of dishes inset a timer for 15 minutes. It means I don't feel completely overwhelmed from the pile I just do what I can in that time, and often once the timer goes off, I feel motivated to keep going.

[@catbot6733]

Totally. I wear ear protection too now while vacuuming and it's a total game changer.

[@jaSama02]

I have another tip dedicated specifically to my fellow ADHD folks, but one anyone can benefit from I used to be filled with an overwhelming sense of dread looking at a pile of unwashed dishes, and the whole task seemed impossible to complete And then I started categorising dishes and starting with the type I liked washing most ( or hated washing the least) I would work down from utensils, to plates, and I would realise that it doesn't take as much time and effort and I would sometimes get to finish in one wash! Because ppl with ADHD have problems with finishing tasks and kind of mentally scoping the extent of an activity, when I washed the dishes for 15 minutes and I saw a pile left I felt like I did nothing. But once I started categorising, I build the sense of accomplishment that helped me get through it, and I would really recommend it to anyone!

[@EpsilonRosePersonal]

Huh. That's a good tip that I haven't heard before. I suspect that it also helps by breaking down the monolithic "wash all the things" tasks into smaller tasks that both look more manageable at the outset and allow you to easily track progress. That said, if you have one, using a dishwasher is still probably better, since it's both faster and likely to be much more efficient.

[@minksrule2196]

I guess I categorise things naturally. When I'm cleaning cutlery, I clean all the knives, then I clean the spoons, then forks. I never clean a spoon, a fork and then another spoon.

[@flowersafeheart]

Cool! Helps take overwhelm out of tasks to break it down into "small wins" like that! That also gives me an idea that someone (adult, kid, or teen) may have fun playing a little scavenger hunt game where they look for all the utensils to wash then cups to wash then plates then bowls or whatever.

Not necessarily. Even with a dishwasher, you still have to scrub a lot because the dishwasher can’t remove caked on gunk on it’s own. And if you’re using the dishwasher, you generally have to let some dishes build up to justify running it. Sometimes since you have to scrub anyway, it can make sense to just sanitize while you’re at it and let them dry.

I was hoping you'd give tips against the actual existential dread that the unending cycle of dishwashing consumes the ever decreasing time we still have in our mortal flesh So here's my tip I got from the Corridor Channel guys when they were on Epic Meal Time: try to wash your dishes immediately after cooking and before eating, because there's nothing sadder than after having a delicious meal, you have to face this ugly chore. Or at least quickly rinse the pots and pans with water before they dry up

I soaped everything first before rinsing them. Usually I go with the biggest dishes so they go to the bottom of the drying basin. Then I wash a glass, then put all the soaped utensils inside the glass. Then the plates. Knifes are usually the last as I put them aside to wash everything else first

[@OriginalSketch6494]

4:55 This is the best way to wash pots with caked-on food on the bottom, but I have an additional tip for when the food is stuck on the upper part of a pot's walls (such as pasted-on tomato from reduced pasta sauce). Fill the pot with like an inch of water (you can add soap if you want but it's not necessary at this point), slap on the lid, and put the pot over high heat. Once the water boils, you can kill the heat and just let it sit covered for a minute (or longer). Because there's so little water, it boils super fast and the lid keeps all the vapor inside which softens any stuck food and makes clean up so, so easy. I always do this at the start of dishwashing and wash everything else while the pot sits. I promise this works perfectly every time. I'm Italian and I make pasta at least once a week so I've tested it over and over and it's the best.

My mom started washing dishes at the age of 11 and did so every day for the rest of her life. Up until I turned 11, she passed that duty onto me. For some reason, I really enjoy washing dishes, and it’s developed into a good habit for me which I’m very grateful of. I’m also the fastest and cleanest dish washer I know, outside of my mom and one roommate I had in college. I washed dishes without gloves for about 7 years and I was completely fine, but after I developed really painful eczema, and realized washing dishes without gloves was making it worse, I had to buy gloves. I love washing dishes without gloves because my bare hands can tell if something is still oily or not, but i adapted quickly through trial and error, checking, and implementing a smell test on dishes I clean. I miss being able to wash the dishes without gloves on, but this keeps me from bleeding onto the dishes XD

A trick learned from working as a dishwasher where we hand-scrubbed everything: if you have a bunch to do, do soaping and rinsing in batches. Ex. turn water off, soap up a few things, turn water on and rinse everything that's soapy - then repeat. It can save a tiny bit of time because you are juggling the sponge less. Also tupperware (lefterover bacon/deli meat plastic containers) are very good for the soap/sponge station :)

Well, through the parenting process I Learned that you should wash the things that has less fat than the others. In example, you wash glasses, cups and jugs first, since liquids tend to have lower fats than meal and food (? Then you wash silverware and stuff. At last, always wash dishes before pots. This would help to economize soap, and to clean efficiently, according to my father. Thanks, Pa.

[@AdaSoto]

Less than 24 hours ago I got diagnosed with adult ADHD. Dishes have always been the my nightmare chore, literally reducing me to tears some days. I spent yesterday being told I needed to rework how I do everything in my life in order to sidestep the executive dysfunction in my brain, then this morning this drops into my feed while I have a sink full of dishes. Today I will go find some gloves and new sponges and tonight the dishes will be cleaned! Thank you.

[@OGSumo]

With ADHD myself, I’ve found that often times seeing a sink full of dishes feels very overwhelming and daunting when I’m thinking about the time and energy I’m going to have to dedicate to just doing one thing. So, I often put it off to the extreme and it only compounds the problem. So cleaning a plate or bowl right after I use it (like my morning cereal bowl) seems to be a good remedy that works for me. Also, with menial physical work at least. (mental work like studying is a no-go) some sort of audio stimulus like a podcast or song helps me not drift away from the task at hand. Otherwise, I can lose myself in my own head and think of something else I would like to do instead and lose motivation, which often turns into me trying to force myself to not just do 50% and leave it for later (an often impossible task). In general, easy bite-sized tasks that I’ve enabled to be as quickly completed as possible is what works for me. Things like keeping the soap and gloves out or my vacuum always in the corner with nothing blocking it from being easily pulled out for a quick clean really helps me personally. Lowest hurdles for getting things done is my priority. Again, otherwise I’ll just put it off until forever. Tl:dr: Minimize the starting effort for getting bite-sized things done works for me. Maybe try it and see if it works for you. Either way, I know you’ll figure it out and be fine, it will just take time. Best of luck

"If you have a dishwasher" should mean you don't hand wash 90% of your dishes.

My roommate and I have a dishwasher but we don't generate dishes fast enough to make it work. If we were to pile dishes in the dishwasher they'd get crusty and probably wouldn't wash clean anyway. I know a partially fill dish washer could save water over hand washing but it's easier to keep track of a sink rather than having to coordinate it.

[@sl0523]

Dish washer works when you have a big family that can produces dirty dishes every meal. Otherwise, it's just not worth it to run the dishwasher. Because there're many cookwears that are not dishwasher-proof, say cast iron pans, Dutch ovens, etc.

[@zekeeynon8530]

I always thought that the "sink full of soapy water" was a water-saving technique when you don't have running water.... We only ever do that when camping in my family, when all we have is buckets. We do multiple stages of water in that situation (initial rinse, soapy water, after rinse).

[@missquinberly]

So in Australia we are in water-saving mode a lot of the time due to drought (aka there was a drought once and now it's ingrained in everyone over 20) so the default way we do our dishes is the sink of soapy water and there's no after-rinse involved. But my new sink is really shallow and it's easy to put TOO MUCH detergent in so I'm thinking about switching to this video's method.

Something that helped me was doing the dishes as I go, especially while cooking. When I’m done frying something, I wash the pan while the pasta boils, when the pasta is done I strain it and wash the colander immediately etc. It feels alot easier when you have a maximum of 3 things to wash rather than an entire sink full of dishes every other day, it takes less time and the workload is spaced out. I have also made it a habit to wash my plate/bowl right after I’m done eating, washing dishes is alot easier before the food dries up and sticks to them. Some other tips: - Learning ”one pot” meals might help too, it literally means to make a meal using only one pot. - Do NOT get non-stick pots and pans! Regular stainless steel is sooo much easier to clean, you can use any utensils and chemicals on them, they last a lifetime and if something were to stick to the bottom or you burn something in a stainless steel pot or pan you can literally boil it out with vinegar and water (1:4 vinegar to water) in less than 5 minutes. I have burnt an embarrassing amount of food in my stainless steal pot and the vinegar trick has worked every time.

Also, without squeezing the sponge every so often, the grease sticks to it and it was frankly disgusting. you definitely dont want oil residue on new plates. but then again, if you use soap as is, you'll run out of them fairly quickly - so to be cost effective, soapy water really does work best buying dishwashing liquid in bulk (like liters) is also better, while just maintaining a replaceable container. i also really recommend putting on *wireless* earphones or headphones for long sessions so that you don't overthink the time while cleaning a whole load eventually the dishes become muscle memory and you can use the time to unwind

Okay, in defence of the soapy sink method- (1) you're actually supposed add things to the sink one by one (or category by category) as you wash them, so there's no worry about not knowing what's under the surface. (2) the order is cleanest (glasses) to dirtiest (pots) which tends to line up fairly closely with the delicate -> robust recommended here. (3) I think the actual purpose of this method is to save water. I live somewhere where watering your lawn during the day can be illegal some parts of the year so being able to combine the clean and rinse stage, and reuse all that soapy water until it gets dirty is actually quite handy. And for anyone who thinks that there's no way that soapy sinks can be perfectly clean, I'd like you to revisit your assumptions about scrubbing implements, tea towels, and hands. Perfectly clean is not the goal. I'm working towards "clean enough."

This pretty closely mirrors how I wash dishes, down the the same brands of scrubby and dish soap. I recently tried out Dawn Powerwash, and it does work pretty well, but from various sources I have seen it can be replicated pretty easily at home. Simply put the detergent and water mix shown in this video with the addition of some isopropyl alcohol, in a spray bottle. A useful addition would be a so called “Swedish dishcloth.” It is made with 70% cellulose (like a sponge) and 30% cotton (like a dishcloth or paper towel). It is super handy for wiping down the sink area and any other surfaces, lasts a long time, and can be tossed in the washing machine. And yes, gloves. Few things really help motivate you do tackle a sink-full of grimy dishes, as knowing you wont have to get your bare hands first all icky and then all dried out. I work in a restaurant so my preference for gloves are the disposable nitrile gloves. I also have a pair of Korean long dish gloves, but the ones I got are slightly too small for me, and they just make me feel annoyingly clumsy, since I am so used to the thin nitrile gloves from work. I might try to find a pair in a larger size, but that might just make me feel even less dexterous. I also have a couple of commercial sanitizing buckets, again because I am used to them from my job, and setting up my cleaning station similarly to how it its at work just helps me get into the right mindset.
