Wor Lass thinks the most effective way of washing dishes is to rinse them, then soak them for ages, then rinse again. She can’t understand why things aren’t as clean as she’d like afterwards.
I don’t have the same problem when I wash dirty dishes in a sink full of warm water, even if they haven’t been rinsed.
She’s so convinced about this that I can’t even start to bring up reasons why my way might be more effective.
This morning the 7 year old had a nosebleed on a pillow on my bed, then the baby came in and puked on the duvet. Plus the cats shedding all over it. The sheets were cleaned on Friday.
Washing up annoyances:
-both of them using scourers on things (mine) which get scratched and damaged by them
-my mum will frequently wash up when there is still more stuff to come and then wash up again like 10 minutes later. First of these will almost always mean she is in the way while I’m still doing things in the kitchen
-if my brother washes up it takes him a ridiculously long time. He insists this means he does it flawlessly, but in reality that isn’t the case.
-did I mention how they both ruin things with scourers?
