Wash dishes by hand or automatically?

By hand, mainly because we don't have a dishwashing machine. I have lived in a place where there's a machine, but I still always wash the greasy and sticky dishes first before putting them in the machine, even if that powerful thing gets rid of practically everything (including rice stuck on plates). I guess it just makes me feel better to wash them a bit first..

i like to wash them by hand and anyway i do not have a machine i like to do just like our parents in the past!

I personally use my hands in washing dishes mainly because we do not have an automatic dishwasher. Oh well, I am a bit technology skeptic, so i wonder if it really kills down the germs or the dirt. But if ever I own one, I definitely would use it. There's no wrong with using it especially since it helps in saving my time.

my family and i do washing our dishes by our own hand, we dont have a machine for managing our dishes. we are the one do the dishes and it is not a hard work for me to do it by hand. and more i guess we can guarantee that the dishes is clean and no stains left on the dishes if hand made.

hi I'm from India. And here wealthy families prefer handwash rather than machine wash. It has a reason too. Indians normally eat sticky oily foods. Machine, I don't think will be able to clean dishes properly. So handwash is the only option.

I always wash dishes by hand. It's not that stressful... but it's very time consuming because you have to thoroughly wash them to remove grease and oil on the dishes. It's not that bad once you get used to it.
