DP and I cannot agree on what is 'the best' approach to doing the washing up.
(I am definitely right but I'll take it on the chin if you all take his side, promise!)
When I do it, I like it done properly - I rinse everything in really hot water (I even add vinegar to it so that glasses come out nice and shiny), I scrub every last bit of tea out of the mugs and all the bits of dried out porridge and whatnot from the pans, I clean the sink, washing up bowl and draining board when I'm done, the full works. But, it takes fucking ages, I hate doing it and can only really do it after the sprogs are in bed so I like to let it all build up through the day and then do it all in one go. I sometimes leave it more than a day because I'm too knackered to do it in the evening.
DP on the other hand likes everything to be washed up immediately. He will gather everything up two or three times a day and give it a quick wash. He doesn't do nearly as much of a thorough job as me (cups always have tea residue in, pots have the odd dried on bits still there and he hardly ever cleans the fucking sink) but there's never anything sitting around on worktops when he's at home.
We can neither of us seem to combine the best of both approaches - washing up things promptly AND thoroughly - but which is the next best? Thorough but infrequent washing up, or frequent washing up that's lacking in thoroughness?
(And yes I know a dishwasher would solve these issues but space is limited in our kitchen and I chose a tumble dryer instead!)
