To think it's disgusting to wash up without rinsing?

[olimpia]

Just that really!
I really can't understand how seemingly clean people lather their dirty dishes and just put them to dry without rinsing the foam off. All the germs and soap residue are left on the plates surely?

Yuk. Revolting!

Shelly, or somebody else might be planning to lick you

I only have baths, although i rinse, because i don't lick myself dry, i don't consider it a problem.

When I bath it's full of smelly sparkley lush things. And I lie in it for an hour. I need to shower to wash my hair and rinse off!

You rinse with one sink!

We just wash in running water using a brush/ sponge thingy that is filled with fairy. So each dish gets fresh fairy squished out of brush whilst cleaning and rinsed, then start with next.

Never had a 'washing up bowl'. Don't you get 'bits' like cream/oil/ tomato sauce/ anything

People rinse before washing too?

Personally we just lick our plates clean then stick them back in the cupboard Rinsing schminsing

Daisy. Yes, I'm afraid - it's showers all the way here
Admittedly, this is more to do with my eczema being aggravated by soap products than my OCD (I think)

someone suggested upthread that people who don't rinse are the kind ofpeole who have baths rather than showers and are therefore disgusting.

I asked if the none-rinsers applied the same logic to the washing of their bodies. I didn't say it was disgusting, but I think it is a valid question as the bath/shower thing seems to be more prevalent than the washing up rinse equivalent... I was merely noticing the incongruity and posing the question.

I was taught how to wash up in Home Economics too

I was taught the order in which to wash up, when to change the water, etc. Nobody ever said anything about rinsing. Why would you rinse? If you've washed up properly, in hot water with the right amount of liquid, your plates are clean.

Just how much Fairy would you need to use to make a foamy cup of coffee?

I don't have baths very often, but when I do I will either shower afterwards, or not consider myself properly clean. But I can live with that if I've had a shower that morning and will be having a shower again the next morning. I'd have a bath as a relaxing thing without showering afterwards, but I wouldn't exfoliate or shave legs or anything like that in a bath, that would be minging and would definatly require a shower afterwards.

I might start taking my dishes in the shower with me

Daisy

Usual we are a type you know.

And our type are " disgusting".

I'll live.
Or maybe I won't. I may be consumed by my own germs.

Sarah - glasses, cutlery, plates?

Ah.. I also shower after bath!
Just a quick rinse but as someone who only uses a bath maybe twice a year, I just don't feel clean compared to shower as sitting in dirt and lotions/ soaps.. Plus wash hair in shower

usual

Maybe I should teach ds to do dishes in the bath - two birds with one stone and all that

It must have been 20 years ago or more (perhaps more than 30?) when I first saw an advertisement for washing up liquid demonstrating that that there is no need to rinse.

Agree Sarah Stratton, can remember a great deal about washing your glasses first and hand hot water, but nothing about rinsing.

I only rinse if I've made the water too soapy; I guess the rinsers are using too much washing up liquid to compensate for the fact that they haven't scraped the plates properly if they've such a problem with food residue.

Dipping plates isn't washing up properly, you need agitation/friction of a sponge. The hydrophobic bit off the soap molecule traps the grease.

Basically, rinsers are doing something wrong!!

Never occurred to me to rinse when I've washed. I'm not running water down the drain for no reason.

Rinsing massively increases your water consumption, which is terribly bad for the environment. In fact, it was found that rinsing a hand washed load uses more water than putting the same load through the dishwasher.

I content myself with a damn good scrap (so no food residue) and only rinse glasses.

Do none of you have dishwashers? How very last century.

I rinsed plates after washing to get rid of washing up liquid residue.

I am disgusting. I am foul. You would faint with horror and most probably Die Of Germs were you to enter my house.

I don't rinse and have had 2 transplants so there you go

Agreed.
