AIBU to want my husband to wash the soap off the dishes?

[Mamasharp97]

As title says… he leaves the suds on and doesn’t rinse.
I think that’s disgusting and have asked him before after getting a mouthful of soap.
he's mad at me this morning because he did the washing up and I asked why they were soapy and not rinsed.

aibu?

How much water and gas/electricity are you all using if you leave the hot tap running while washing up?
Have never rinsed and I don't know anyone who does and never noticed any ill affects.

No extra water needed here it goes like this.
Plug in sink
Add an inch of hot water with your soap, turn tap off.
Wash items, flick tap on and off for each rinse.
Sink water gradually gets fuller but never full as a quick rinse doesn't use much water and tap not running constantly.
By the end sink is full of dirty water but all pots are equally spotless because you put enough soap in to clean all, and all were rinsed.

Canadian here and I've never heard of not rinsing. You rinse off the soap and residue.

When I finish my bath I give myself a quick rinse and get out too.

The other advantage of the rinse is you can see bits you've missed that clinging suds hide.
If you dry up for someone who doesn't rinse your t towel gets wet quicker (a hot rinsed item practically dries itself) and you almost invariably find a film/smear of something clinging that wasn't spotted, cos the suds disguised it.
And often that soggy t towel with the accidental food smeg on it is hung to dry and used again.

A gleaming rinsed item can have a proper eye cast over it. It's a quality control step.

My sink would be full of lukewarm water, at best, by the end of that — little flicks aren't enough to keep my boiler providing a stream of hot. (Shitty little combi installed somewhere too small to fit a better one.)

Why are you not drying your dishes and putting them away in the cupboard? Do people just leave them on the draining board?

I don't because it's not my job

Waiting for , “ this is abuse, LTB - you deserve better “.

this thread persuaded me to do the washing up, my usual way, in a washing up bowl, what on earth is wrong with that?
now draining on the sink
i have asked dh to dry but will wait to see if he mentions the lack of rinsing!
he is a rinser
our dishwasher is broken so all this washing up malarkey is new to us

The suds contain the dirt, it needs rinsing off

I’ll sleep easy tonight knowing that!
I don’t get that attitude either, we all just muck in here to get stuff done.

Can't believe how many people don't rinse! I can taste detergent if there's any residue left. I do wash under running water so my dishes are always rinsed.

I rinse. Mainly I use the dishwasher but if I do it by hand I rinse as I was shamed as a child when helping out somewhere.

My parents don’t rinse however and never once have I had a mouthful of soap. Nothing tastes soapy either. It tends to drip off the bottom when drip drying or be wiped off of using a teatowel.
Are people using the items when still wet?

Why ,wouldn't you rinse?

You could rinse in a second bowl of hot water

What attitude? I wash, my son wipes.

I can't believe how many people are proudly saying they don't rinse!
I grew up in another country and people would think you'd only half washed your dishes?

Honestly why not just rinse it properly?. You "rinse" in the same water you washed it in?...ridiculous.

I've never rinsed. Never knew this was a thing until I read it on Mumsnet.

😆 There's nowhere to put a second bowl, and I'm buggered if I'm draining the sink, cleaning it, running a fresh hot sinkful, and taking all my clean-enough, practically-dry dishes off the rack to dunk them in water again. I swear some of the rinsers must just be hand-cleansing a few special wineglasses that are too precious to go in the dishwasher their ample kitchen has space for, or the occasional pan that won't fit, not ploughing through an entire household's washing-up every day. Either that, or they're far more energetic than I am. Probably the latter TBH.

That would require either a running tap, or a separate bowl of water, and neither works for me. Dunking in the bowl rinses off the suds and any food particles just fine. No taint, no deaths (yet), no problem 👍

I dont rinse, but plates etc aren't 'covered' in soap suds. Nothing has ever tasted of soap. Nothing is dirty.

Well, I sort of do similar to rinse glass/plastics sometimes, just to make sure there's no clinging grease, but that's maybe half a dozen items waiting in the cleanish water to be rinsed one after another, and my boiler can handle that. Almost a full sinkful in little spurts? It would sulk and give up five minutes in.

When you wash your hands, assuming you do it properly and for long enough, the combination of detergent and friction breaks down bacterial cell walls and any viruses present and then you rinse it all away with clean water. So if you're not rinsing your dishes, they're not properly clean.

Ok why don't some people rinse??? It's disgusting! So some people ok with dishwater on their plates and even worse, glasses or cups? Gross!!!
When I wash up I use a lot of liquid to get stuff really clean so to not rinse would be repulsive. Irritatingly it's common for people to not rinse. I don't get it. My best friend when I was a teen washed a tea cup out by swishing it in used dishwater then emptying said dishwater out, no rinse. Drives me mad. My stepdad is the same so he's banned from washing up if he visits and tries to help
