What do you do with dirty dishes? :)

Try my best to clean them before bed. I ussually rinse them in the sink and leave it till about 8:30pm. If im having busy days I’ll rinse them, wash the essentials, and leave bigger dishes for another day.

If the dishwasher is dirty, put them in the dishwasher. If I don’t know the state of the dishwasher then they go in the sink to “soak” and sit there until I decide to do the dishes. If the dish can’t fit in the dishwasher then it sits in the sink for days until I decide to wash the dishes by hand.

I’m lucky that my husband does most of the dishes, but when I have a dirty coffee cup or plate, I’ll rinse it and set it on one side of the sink to be put in the dishwasher. You’d think it would b easier to just rinse and go right to the dishwasher, but it’s usually full of clean dishes! I want to be more proactive with unloading, I want to take that responsibility. However most of the time I don’t even think about it, or feel too exhausted, or have something I’ve deemed "more important" to do, so I just put my dishes on the side of the sink and rely on my husband to switch everything over.

Rinse and put them on a designated spot on the kitchen counter. My husband loads the dishwasher in his own peculiar way so I leave them on the counter. This may seem not perfect but this is what works best for our daily rhythms.

I leave them on my nightstand, which is a habit I’m trying to break. I want to put them directly into the dishwasher when I’m finished with them.

Nowadays we are so exposed to food that is not healthy due to their manufacturing process or genetic modifications. For me, it’s important to find a better way to buy products like in local markets which I know it doesn’t have that amount of pesticide.

I use to let them sit in the sink till I either needed them or got so much anxiety that I had to do them. Now I try to just wash them as soon as I’m done using them, or at least wash them all at the end of everyday. I don’t have a dishwasher.

I usually either put them in the dishwasher or let them soak in the sink for a few hours if they have a lot of stuck on stuff that can’t be easily scrubbed off.

I wash dishes three tome a day, after breakfast, after lunch and after dinner. The dishes I use between, for example snak plates or tea cup, usually stay in the sink till the next "big meal", maybe that’s not a good habit

Most days we stack them in the sink until there is no more room and THEN wash them. On good days I wash them as I use them. Today is one of those days.
