How to wash dishes quickly: tips

Modern man is trying to devote less time to household chores, so he is in search of simple solutions. Such cases include washing dishes, which without a special machine can take a long time if a big feast has passed. What to do when you have to wash not a couple of plates and spoons, but a full table of dishes? In such cases, simple tips will come in handy; they will save time, effort and water costs.

How to optimize the dishwashing process

1. Take the habit of washing dishes immediately. Do not wait until the moment when all the food dries to the plate, because it will be difficult to scrape it off. Of course, sometimes it seems difficult to wash a plate or mug. Such a situation is observed if there is already a pile of dishes in the sink and none of the household wants to wash it. Agree with all members of the family that from now on everyone is washing dishes.
2. If you have completely lost the urge to wash dishes immediately, soak it in a basin or sink with water and detergent. After such actions, you will be sure that the food does not stick to the plate. You just have to wipe it with a sponge with detergent, rinse and dry.
3. Use good sponges for washing, abandon the old-fashioned way with a “cloth”. Foam rubber will save you not only time for washing dishes, but also a tool, as well as water. Do not wait for the sponges to absorb fat and become unusable. Change them regularly. Buy an aluminum wicker sponge to remove sticky dirt. They quickly remove dried food faster than foam.
4. After the meal, you don’t need to put one plate in another, especially if you are not going to wash the dishes immediately. This option is suitable for those who will soak plates with water and detergent. But in all other cases, the food will stick to the bottom of the dishes, it will be more difficult to wash.
5. There is no need to regret detergent, it is specifically designed for thorough washing of dishes from grease and food debris. Pour more gel onto the sponge, then foam it and start washing.
6. To optimize the washing process, take the habit of pre-sorting dirty dishes. Forks separately, spoons separately, knives, plates, mugs separately. Wash the dishes in batches, practice has shown that this saves significantly more time.
7. So that the water does not pour constantly into the sink while you are washing the dishes. Turn off the taps. First, rub each plate (pan, fork, pan, etc.) with detergent, set aside, then rinse.
8. Never stop there. Learn to wash the dishes for a short time and with less water (if the goal is to save family resources). For example, today you washed the “mountain” of dishes in 10 minutes, tomorrow you need to perform the same actions in 7, without losing quality. Continually improve your skills to make it more interesting!

Proper dishwashing

After familiarizing yourself with ways to optimize your dishwashing, learn the basic steps in this process.

Pour in hot water and add detergent. Leave the cutlery for 15-20 minutes to soak. If there are too many dishes, soak it in batches.

If you do not have a basin for such manipulations, use the sink. Cover it with a stopper, draw hot water and add detergent. Leave the dishes soaked for the specified time.

Step number 2. Washing dishes
When soaking in a separate bowl or bowl, carry out the following manipulations:

1. Apply detergent to the sponge and foam. Remove the first plate or other large object from the basin, wash on both sides. Send the dishes "in the foam" into the sink, take the next item.
2. When all the dishes, along with spoons, forks, plates, are transferred to the sink, begin to rinse it with a weak pressure of water. Set aside in a drier or wipe with a towel.

If preliminary soaking was carried out directly in the sink, proceed differently:

1. Set the flow of water to a minimum, take a plate in your hands and walk along it with a sponge and detergent. Substitute for tap, rinse, put in the dryer.
2. Rinse all dishes and small cutlery in the same way, then move on to the dirtiest ones (pans, pots, baking trays). In this way, the dishes can be washed much faster.
