By the way, speaking of dishwashers... What's the big deal about them? They seem to take more time than just washing the dishes. You have to pre-wash them, load them in the dishwasher, run it, unload and put the dishes away, and by that time I could have washed the whole load.

The pre-washing is what gets me. If the dishwasher isn't good enough to blast food off the dishes, it's not worth using.
it kills germs. Sanitizes.

When I lived in houses with dishwashers, I've never had to wash them in the sink before loading them

Now that we gotten the dishwasher talk out of the way -
let's move on to the real issue of washing dishes;

I only use true blue Morning Fresh - nothing else cuts it!

I prefer to wash dishes by hand. Dishwashers take the fun out of getting the dishes clean

Wow. Looks great! I've never heard of Morning Fresh dishwashing liquid before. Is it exclusive to Australia? I've been using Dawn Ultra for a while now. You only need a few drops and it really does a fantastic job of cleaning. :rolleyes:

I like doing the dishes. It's not my favourite thing to do but it's fun when it's a team effort (especially after parties!!)

Apparently the PZ part started off in West Africa Sierra Leone and Nigeria expanded to Kenya and bought out the British soaps and detergent manufacturer Cussons.

Most of my friends & family use their dishwashers for that reason: it sanitizes. I have a dishwasher in my apartment, but it takes less time to do them by hand. And I use very hot water so they're sanitized.

Plus it $ave$ on the electric bill to do them by hand. :eek:

Dawn rocks. I use it for dishes, shampoo, car cleaning, dog shampoo... and bug spray! A bit of dawn in a spray bottle kills wasps better than wasp spray.

Men in aprons Hey!!
And rubber gloves??

Real men don't use rubber gloves.


That being said, the place I rent has a dish washer but it's been so long since I've used it I can't remember when it was. Running a dishwasher for dishes from just two people is a waste of water and electricity.

Talk about timely newspaper articles..
This today from the NY Post.

Read that last paragraph.

Forget bank-breaking extravagance – freshly-laundered linens, a long soak in the bath and a cozy night indoors are all we need to live in luxury.
A study, which revealed the top 50 small luxuries US citizens value the most have shown crisp, clean bed linens are what people prize above all else.
Even with all the gadget-related boons on the list, nearly a quarter of Americans would prefer to spend some quality time with a good book, go for a fresh haircut or enjoy a luxurious dip in the bath over more extravagant treats.

In fact, a humble one in five never indulges in the more extravagant side of life.
Filip Boyen, CEO of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, who commissioned the study, said: “In this cash-rich, time-poor world we now live in, it makes sense that people’s ultimate luxury is less materialistic and more experiential, placing value in the opportunity to stop, switch off and relax.

“With the New Year, 2018 should be the year we treat ourselves to the small luxuries and invest in the time to treat ourselves, wherever we are.”
The survey, which was conducted by market research company OnePoll, found men are most likely to opt for a long and lazy bike ride, a glass of fine whiskey and a trip to watch a sporting event when they need to indulge.

Women are more likely to favor an extra five minutes in bed, a mini-break in a hotel and a catch-up with friends over lunch.
Despite these basic tastes, 56 percent of those surveyed also admitted they crave a more luxurious lifestyle than they currently have.
Of those who were surveyed who are currently in a relationship, two-thirds said their partner treats them to enough of their favorite small luxuries, though husbands and boyfriends are more likely to be satisfied than their other halves.

Seventy-nine percent of men in relationships said their partners treat them like kings, compared to 59 percent of women who regularly receive the royal treatment.

Still, if couples found they were owed a treat from their partner, they would be most likely to choose a night out together over a romantic massage or an offer to do the dishes.

I thoroughly love washing the dishes. It allows me to reflect on my day and the day to come :)
If you ever run out of time/opportunity to reflect on your day and the day to come, come to me... I would love nothing more than to help with that.

There is dishwashing liquid and there is hydrochloric acid

Am I wise enough to choose their appropriate use for the job at hand.

They didn't make my middle name Dawn for no good reason.... I think they had me so I could be a dishwasher for years.... not as much anymore as I am home less than the others.

As a general rule while the kids are little (under 5) whoever the stay at home parent is should be responsible for majority of household chores. But it's also great when the Bread Winner pitches in & helps. A husband & wife should work as a team & divide & conquer in all areas of life. Once the kids are old enough, they should do the dishes after tea!!
