How do you do dishes in your house?

[BlueSilverCats]

Riveting question on a Sunday morning, I know.

Here it's mixed. One washes under running water, one does the bowl/sink full of water thing. We both think the other is wrong- one thinks one way is wasteful, the other thinks one way is dirty (that might have more to do with the washer than the method though)- . We don't argue about it (anymore) and just let each other to get in with it.

So what happens in your household? One way? The other? Also a mix?

We don't have the space for a dishwasher, so that's not an option.

Running water with a shallow sink (so a little of both). I do the soapy part then rinse at end. Dh does full sink, no rinse and they're never clean, always some left over food residue 🤢 They then need re-washed, so his theory of wasting water stands no ground with me. He also soaks around the sink, meaning I have to wipe it all!
Our dishwasher is on the blink 😭

The lovely tabletop dishwasher does it.

I bet you have room for that? It’ll change your life, I’m telling ya.

Oh god, those greasy plastic bowls take me right back to student flats. It never occurred to us to buy a plug.

This is what we do.

Haha, dm has used a washing up bowl all of her life despite owning a plug. She was mortified when she first realised I don't use one. I had to explain how there is already a sink, you don't need one. She somehow sees the sink as being cleaner with a plastic bowl in it. I have no idea why, or are they trying to shrink the space, to use less water; I have no idea.

It is suchan old fashioned thing, and I turned it over once, and it was all murky on the bottom. She will often always have cups etc steeping in her sink, then forget about them. I'll go in her kitchen and the water will have gone cold, and I have to attempt to drain it off, and then she'll say "I know they're there", and defend this. 🤢

I don’t, my husband is the dishwasher 😊
