I err on the side of thoroughness, but I use so much more time & water than others I see. I think I’m doing a better job… does it matter?

I want to watch an in-depth video of the minimum required washing. If you know or are a science educator (microbiologist? Epidemiologist?), maybe you can help :D

    I had a girlfriend that wouldn’t rinse the soap off the dishes after she washed them. Just put them straight in the strainer. I’m like, “no wonder you’re so thin”.

    I was told that it can give you the runs…

      So many ethincally British people wash dishes like that and it’s beyond disgusting.

      Filling a tub with soapy water to dunk dirty plates and cups in and then sticking them straight onto a draining board, is literally just adding more yuck to your crockery for bacteria to grow on.

      And these people would complain about wasting water and stuff not being clean when I washed things with soap and hot running water?!

      Seriously, the stuff you eat off should not smell like rotting raw meat has been rubbed all over it, when it’s ‘clean’.

      When I lived with housemates, those of use who weren’t ethnically from here could pretty reliably tell who was ethnically British just by opening their cupboard in the kitchen.
