Wheee! I got my dishes in to the washing machine!

I decided it was time to get something concrete done. I "sanded down" my dishes with a nasty old sponge, and got them into that washing machine thingie with some spray anti-grease stuff in the soap bin. I will go to the Dollar Tree now to get some all-purpose detergent for such future endeavors. It works as laundry detergent too. How has you Sunday been?

Besides posting to Vocal Media nothing much else going on here, I am hoping to get some money added to my account this coming week from my survey sites, I hope you have a good start to the mew week.

I washed my dishes in the sink. Saved money buying a dishwasher.

There's a reason I want dirty dishes in the sink and fill the dishes with water. I hate trying to get dried-on food off plastic and glass besides the fact that food can call ants. I hope your dishes come clean without too much trouble.

I never did before either. They go swish swish swish. It is soothing.

@wolfgirl569 I basically wash my dishes before I put them in the dishwasher.

The kitchen at the house-sit is miniscule. Definitely no room for a dish-washer. I need to wash up last night's tea dishes. That's my next job.

What do you use to scrub the "gunk" off of the dishes?

You made me realize that I live here since March 10 and I have not yet tried the washing machine. I always wash my dishes manually.

Despite having a dishwasher my wife prefers to wash by hand. It really annoys me but if she wants to make life difficult for herself who am I to stop her??

Good to see you! It's been awhile!.I give my dishes a good going over before I put them in the dishwasher. But I believe the super hot water kills germs.

I hope we have a Dollar Tree store here too, just so we could get a lower price for things.
