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!

That's the problem with dishwashers, there's no mechanical cleaning bar waster splashing, so the chemicals used have to be very harsh/alkaline to remove stains.

I stopped putting plastic food containers in the dishwasher, just limited it to crockery and metal cutlery

Why do they "need" to rinse? As I've already said I have yet to see anyone here rinse their dishes, so this "need" is nonsense.

A PP said her mum’s plates are greasy because she doesn’t rinse them.

When you have a bath do you empty it then refill it with clean water to rinse yourself?

Having a shower is a completely different thing.

The plastic bowl is surely a UK thing? That is something I think is weird.

Yeah the plastic bowl thing is weird but makes sense if you only have one sink so you can still rinse at the side. But plastic bowl and no rinsing makes zero sense.

I don't really have baths. But when I did I'd shower after & wash my hair.

why is showering different to washing dishes, same principle rinse the soap off.

I can't stand plastic bowls in sinks, they're horrible! They're in the way, look shit, end up with grease/muck stuck underneath the bowl, who has the energy for cleaning a plastic bowl as well.

If I stay at a holiday rental, that damn bowl is getting shoved in a cupboard somewhere!

I always rinse. TBH most people's washing up habits appall me. If I am washing up, it is always glasses first, then mugs, then plates and then pots & pans etc all properly rinsed. How can anyone consider taking an item out of dirty water and putting it on a draining rack to be properly clean. I get that no one is likely to die from it, but it definitely isn't properly clean.

My wider family let the bloody dogs do a pre-wash, which I find disgusting (even as a dog lover). We all know what dogs get up to! I don't let dogs lick my face, so why in the name of all that is vaguely hygienic would I be letting them lick a plate that I'm just going to wash in warm water?! Gah!

Nothing weird about it. It used to be 'the nirm' to inky gave one sunk, using a plastic bowl means you could tip any drink dregs etc down the side of the bowl into the sink.

Houses tended not to have utility rooms either so sinks were used for 'durty' jobs too so having a washing up bowl means you always gave a clean bowl to do the dishes

& lastly, they provide a softer surface for dishes.

I use one for doing the dishes, it's removed each time and washed & rinsed. It takes seconds & never gets mucky underneath! It get put in the cupboard under the sink so it's not left in the sink!

Couldn't agree more!!

That makes no sense. Rinsing is just using water.

Same. We were taught in domestic science to rinse, that’s nearly 50 years ago and I always have.

Dirty dishes that can’t go in dishwasher in a bowl of hot soapy water soaking. Take dishes out of bowl. Wash dishes in clean running hot water with sponge and washing up liquid and rinse thoroughly after. Hot water tap is going constantly.

Different sponges for different items. Glasses that can’t go in the dishwasher always done separately and dried immediately after with kitchen paper.

I have a dishwasher for most of my dishes. For dishwasher they go straight from bowl of cold soapy water quick debris removal and then into the dishwasher.

I think rinsing is very important - the dishes aren’t clean if they’re covered in suds and remnants of the dirty dish water.

It’s only in the UK (maybe only England) where this is considered acceptable

But that will be because it hasn’t been washed properly, rinsing it , particularly in cold water won’t rinse thick grease off.
Looking at you husband 🙄

Rinse obvs.

You've not read my reply in context with the conversation, it wasn't about rinsing!
It was about people who don't clean the grease off stuff.
And it didnt happen in my household thank god.

Glad to see that the vast majority here do actually rinse!

I rinse under cold running water.

Maybe if dishes are coming out covered in soap suds you might be using too much fairy liquid!

We don't have a dishwasher as our kitchen is pretty small.
We always rinse, we have a washing up bowl of water at the side of the sink which all the soapy things get dunked in and then put on the drainer. I thought we were OCD with this, but it seems not!
In spring/summer we put the rinsing water on the garden, so we're not 'wasting ' water.

I put washing up liquid on sponge and squeeze.

Hot water in sink.

Scrub pan/baking tray (most stuff goes in dishwasher)

Plunge in sink. Drain.

Change water when murky.

My SIL disagrees and probably thinks I'm disgusting. I don't really care.

Not dead yet.

If I have a bath I use the shower nozzle to rinse my body off afterwards.
