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

    At the very least, unless you have some real stuck on food, there’s no point in leaving soap on the dishes. It’s actually better to rinse them immediately. Soap acts like a magnet that brings oil and water together. That soapy magnet grabs up all the grime and gets rinsed away with water. Leaving dirty soap magnets on your dishes just gives them a chance to dry up and stick back onto the dishes.
