That hand washed dishes should be rinsed with clean water?

[Drew79]

When hand washing, interested in how many people either -

Wash dishes then rinse with clean water, then put on the drainer to dry

Or
Wash dishes and put on the drainer with soap suds and dirty water still on them?

I don't like the idea of eating and drinking from something that's got some cleaning chemicals left on it, but my partner says I'm being fussy!

Depends what it is, stuff like baking trays, I don't bother, as it goes in the oven anyway and stuff just sits on it

Of course you rinse. Unless you like to eat washing up liquid residue with every meal. It doesn’t just magically (or scientifically) slide of your plate when you lift it out the water. Or even wipe it with a towel.

when I was young 60 odd years ago hot water was precious and dishes didn’t get rinsed -rinsing in icy cold water (Scotland with no central heating) would have prolonged the drying process. Washing in v hot water meant plates dried off in the rack. It’s annoying when things in the past are seen as dirty and lazy when a coal fire heated the water for a family of 5 meant it was used sparingly and dish and pan washing was a tedious job. Get it done quickly and no one was ill.

I find many dishwasher tablets taint crockery especially plastic items with smell and also taste. If you’re worried about imbibing detergent reduce your use of dishwasher powder imv the capsules are far too strong.

RINSE! Whenever I am given a glass at someone’s house who can’t wash up properly I’m 🤮

People, wash and rinse your dishes.

Water is scarce where I am. It is possible to still rinse using the same amount of water!

My mum and stepdad never rinsed, once I was visiting and mum said she had a toddler cup my son could drink out of, it had its lid firmly attached and when I opened it it stunk of mould!!! So they didn't dry up properly either. I never let my kids eat or drink round there again unless I sent them with their own drinks like fruit shoots or bottled water. Also my daughter said she had milk round there once and it tasted of soap

Onslaught has arrived😂. Dog always prewashed our dishes as well. Then they went in the dishwasher. We are fine.
Btw no, I don't rinse the hand washed dishes.

It might be poor quality washing up liquid too. I've seen a big difference in paying a bit more for better quality. I don't rinse and no longer see any greasy residue with better quality

I've never noticed a problem with dishes out of the dishwasher, but some glasses are an issue even if they look squeaky clean - if I have a glass of water and go back to it while later - the water tastes foul , chlorinated! Dishwasher tablets are very harsh, glass is quite a rough surface at microscopic level so I imagine the cleaning agents are seeping into the tiny crevices, and coming out when soaked in water for a long time.

When I was 18 I got diptheria and they suspected it was from a pub glass that hadn't been washed properly

I have recently started rinsing. I never used to do it but I read something (on here probably) that made me realise there could still be soap on the dishes so I tried rinsing and have stuck to it.

I have a dishwasher so most things go in there. But I hand-wash glasses, pans, knives, wooden utensils and most of my plastics.

I don't like the taste that dishwasher tablets leave on some plastics.

I wash in hot soapy water then put each item in the middle drainer sink as I go. When that's full I rinse in tepid water and put them on the drainer. Then carry on with the washing.

I leave them to dry in the draining rack. I only polish if they aren't fully dry when zi want to put them away

It's not relevant now though so people need to rinse

Same…still here to tell the tale in my 60s 💪

Me too with only using a cloth once.

I remember always having to wash cups, glasses and cutlery from a young age because my mum never rinsed and her washing up was gross. Luckily my husband and I both rinse everything, he changes the water very often too so we get through loads of fairy

I watched my friend wash up when I was a teenager by swishing her dad's teacup in dirty dishwater and just empty it out and not rinse it 😖

Always rinse with clean water. But its normal to have two sinks in the kitchen in my country which makes it must easier to rinse as you go. And of course a drying cupboard to stick them in to dry.

DD did Home Ec this year, she was taught a 13 step method to hand wash dishes which included two rinsing steps - the pre-rinse before you wash to get any food remains off, and the rinse after you wash. She had to memorise all the steps for her exam so followed them diligently at home so she would remember them better. Until the exam, after that she definitely skipped a bunch of steps.

This thread is absolutely bizarre to me. Today I'm going to ask all my work colleagues if they rinse. It's never even occurred to me! You are washing with clean soapy water. I do rinse any dirty plates beforehand so the water never gets mucky or discoloured. Wash with hot soapy water and put them to drain. I'm not having it they taste of soap 😂

One thing I do hate and it's always in restaurants or holiday lodges is the glasses always smell like wet dog. Not sure if that is the soapy smell you're all referring to...

Have always rinsed and I'm mid 50s, I've never understood people using a plastic bowl in the sink washing everything in that and draining with no rinse.

NRTFT, but we have a dishwasher. Anything that can’t go in the dishwasher, we wash them in hot soapy water in the order of glasses, ordinary crockery and cutlery, last of all saucepans and oven trays. If oven trays are really messed up, I might soak them for a few hours in sodium bicarbonate and water first, and drain it into the garden. No film of grease on anything!

It has never occurred to me or anybody I know, to rinse afterwards; except an ex Chinese boyfriend, who washed pots under a hot running tap, but I assumed it was a cultural thing, where he came from!

Advertising/marketing is great isn't it.

'Fairy soft' hands and all that shite.

I had dermatitis on the backs of my hands years back (probably when I first got my own place) so I started using rubber gloves for washing up and cleaning, never had it again since.

That's two different things, obviously greasy dishes are from rushed washing/not enough liquid used, nothing to do with rinsing.

They might, then again...

yes, the rinsing is what removes it, but some people are baffled by logic & won't be told. Thankfully most people have dishwasher's these days!

Of course it makes a difference. When you have a shower, do you just lather up & leave it or do you rinse it off?
