11 Hacks To Make Dish Washing Easier

Washing dishes SUCKS. Reading about washing dishes is even worse…but this may contain some very valuable information. Listen up, if you have to wash dishes for your job or for just general life cleanliness, then these hacks may make the dreaded task easier. Warning: You will want to stop reading…but fight the boredom and enrich your dishwashing life. 1. Dedicate a cupboard just for your dish washing friends. The scrub brush, the rack, the gloves, they all need their own space to live in. At the end of a hard day washing the crap off your dishes, let them breathe by themselves for a while. 2. Dry as you go. What is worse than a pile of dishes in the sink? A pile of dishes on the rack. It looks just as bad when you have dishes stacked on a rack, so as soon as you wash them, dry them….or get someone else to dry them as you wish. 3. Get rid of those burnt pots quick. If you have burnt the bottom of your pot, then soak it in cold water with three tablespoons of salt. If that doesn’t work then just chuck the pot out because a burnt pot is gross. 4. You can wash fine silverware in a dishwasher did ya know? As long as you don’t place any other utensils with the silverware, you can safely wash them in a dishwasher. If other utensils are placed with them, the metals can react. 5. Learn the proper way to stack the dishwasher. Do you stack the dishes facing towards the middle? Well, you should, it’s the “proper” way and it stops the sounds of plates crashing whilst the dishwasher is on. 6. Cold water, not hot, is the trick. After cooking, try using cold water to remove the mess instead of hot water. If you still have a lot of food attached to the plate then hot water tends to make more of a mess. 7. Rack em’ up. If you run out of dish rack space, then just take your racks out of the oven and use them. Boom. 8. Clean whilst you cook. It’s hard, we know. We know, we know, this sounds awful. However, you will save oodles of time if you clean whilst you cook. It also means that you are not faced with a giant mountain of dirty pots and pans after your delicious meal. 9. Lemon Pledge Wedge. The lemon pledge does wonders, but this time we are talking about a lemon wedge to make your dirty dishes and sink smell nice. Freeze some lemon wedges with water and then throw them down the garbage disposal. They will help the sink area smell fresh and clean. 10. Wear protection. Ain’t nobody got time for wrinkly, pruney hands, so you should wear the disgusting yellow gloves. Don’t wear them outside of the kitchen though because people will think you are cooking meth in your bedroom. 11. Put your dishes in their own separate bath. Instead of putting your dishes in the sink, put them in a plastic tub inside the sink. This will give you more room and it will make dishwashing a lot easier.
