To think you dont rinse dishes after washing them??

[foxessoxes]

Just had a blazing row with "D"Bro over rinising dishes after washing them.

I went to put a plate I was washing on the drainer and he roared at me for not rinsing it

Who is the weirdo here?

Of course you need to rinse. If you put a dirty plate into a bowl and rub it until it's "clean", where has the dirt gone? It's in the water. The water that is now covering the plate. Washing water is dirty and bubbly and needs rinsing.

I rinse sometimes but don't others. Is it really a big deal?

The thought of eating off a plate that has been washed in stagnant dirty water and then not rinsed has just made my stomach churn. Yuck.

I always rinse them, but often in cold water to save on the hot water. I think not rinsing them is very unsanitary and wouldn't fancy eating or drinking in a house with unrinsed crockery or cutlery.

Of course you rinse them! Would you be happy to drink the washing up water?

I always rinse.

Is it a British thing not to? I've only ever come across non rinsing over here, having lived in various places around the world.

There's nothing worse than having a cup of tea at someone's house with the faintest taste of fairly liquid. Yuk!

Dishes need rinsing. It is pretty yucky not too.

He shouldn't have shouted though.

I always rinse under the hot tap.

Of course you do. Why would you want to eat washing up liquid?

Oh, I'm so sorry, OP, I forgot to answer your question.
You are the weirdo.

Always rinse.

Next you'll be telling us that you dry them with a tea towel.

Gosh, I only rinse glasses - mainly because of the streaks left otherwise.

I don't have enough room in my sink to have a tap running the whole time. Or am squeamish enough to give much of a shit TBH

Fascinating. I've never heard of people not rinsing.....makes every logical sense to do so

Well, looks like the rinses have it.

I always rinse. I don't want to eat washing up liquid. He was definitely wrong to yell over it though.

Rinse rinse rinse. And always leave to air dry not tea towel drying.

Your dbro is a weirdo for roaring at you tbh.
Sometimes I rinse plates, sometimes I don't.
I try to rinse soap off glasses though.

Rinse- yes of course, blazing row? Weird thing to row about indeed.

Yabu.

He didn't have to get arsey and shout though.

You are. Always rinse obvs.

Rinse, rinse, rinse. As a foreigner it utterly baffles me that some people in this country (MIL included) don't rinse after washing.

I always rinse.

I'm guessing it was festive stress that probably caused the row!

I never rinse dishes. That is a bit strange to me.

Ringers, can you tell the difference if you're served food on an unrinsed plate?

I always rinse, especially glasses. Stops them going all smeary from the bubbles drying and rinses any residue of stuff that was in the water. Especially if it had been something like mashed potato being washed off stuff.
