to ask my MIL to rinse dishes after washing up with Fairy

[Oriole]

My MIL often offer to do the washing-up when she is staying with us. At first I was happy with this, but soon I noticed that she didn't rinse them off after washing with Fairy in the sink. I had a talk with her about this, still I see some foam in salad bowls and cups.

Is it unreasonable to ask my MIL again to rinse dishes after washing up with Fairy?

hmmm

not sure

I never rinse my dishes!

har

I always rinse but would bite my tongue if someone else was washing my dishes. I'd dry them very hard

can't see the problem. dh does that and we are all ok

no not unreasonable. Unrinsed dishes are vile,vile,vile - may as well pour the washing up liquid straight into your mouth!!!!

or you may have to just do it yourself.

do you have a dishwasher though?

don't think you need to rinse really unless you've overdone the Fairy !

I once washed up for a friend. When I'd finished she said 'we don't eat soap in this house' and poured water over the dishes to rinse them. I was mortified and more than a little p*ssed off, certainly didn't offer twice.

If she's offered to help out, it's churlish to critique her work I think.

Yes I think in the grand scheme of problems you could have with a MIL YABU!

Sometimes I rinse, sometimes I don't - it's hardly the crime of the century is it??

YABU and churlish

donnie calm down dear. we are oly talking about washing up not world peace

Something about looking gift horses in the mouth springs to mind!

I don't rinse - never noticed the taste of Fairy on my dishes either.

You could always do it yourself ...

If you want them done your way, do them yourself!

yes I realise the tone was a little outraged of essex - but I still say they taste horrid!

I tought it was a british thing not to rince, my dh doesnt rince unless I'm watching him...not rincing is not nice.

I would, I find this really gross (and it is a uniquely English thing, btw).
Don't know how to do it tactfully though...
get a dishwasher - that'll remove the problem

I would rather do it myself than eat off dishes 'washed' this way

Gross is a word i tend to use for poo and sick and actually I don't think i find them particularly offensive anymore.
Gross for not rinsing the dishes, little OTT methinks

Have never rinsed - don't overdo the Fairy though.

Dishes washed in the dishwasher don't have a completely 'clean' rinse at the end do they? They have Rinse Aid which looks remarkably like dilute Fairy to me.

I wouldn't care Anyone doing dishes here would be thanked and rinsing again is a waste of water

Re british thing, I remember being told off for not rinsing by a 14 year old when I lived in belgium

I wouldn't care. I'd jst be grateful someone was doing my washing up!

Think YABU to be honest.

of course they have a completely clean rinse at the end.
And rinse aid is just something that makes the water dry faster.
