Thread: Daily Poll: Do you clean your dishes after every meal?

Feel free to tell us more!

I clean them when it is convenient, so many times it is after we watch whatever TV program, like at 9PM. If we watch a movie, they get a rinse and we do them in the morning. I TRY to do them every night tho, so most of the time they are done right after a meal. But I got my priorities!

I'm sooooooo old school (and old)., I rinse the dishes, load them in dishwasher and wash pots & pans right after dinner.

The way I see it is, if I cook, hubby and daughter has to do the dishes.

I atleast rinse them and put them in the dishwasher. I can't stand leaving them piled in the sink....I'm slighty OCD with my house

Well I was gonna pick option 4 but that would be a big fib because I only cook occasionally. So my saying is I don't dirty them so I'm not cleaning them
The kitchen is Chris's domain mostly unless I want to bake....so mostly he does the pots

I HATE them piling up BUT tend to let them. I am bad!

We both have the bad habit of just stacking them in the sink until it gets full, then they get loaded into the dishwasher.
We've discussed how we need to change this bad habit, but old habits die hard sometimes and we haven't.

It really sucks cuz I have a big sink so when its full, the dishwasher will be too which means it needs to run and whatever gets used next HAS to go in the sink. lol

I make a habit of cleaning dishes and pots/pans right after I'm finished cooking and eating, or as I go along in the cooking process, I'll be cleaning. I just don't like leaving things dirty out. Since I get up early in the a.m. and have to prep for myself and for my two pooches every day, I like waking up to a clean kitchen

I go in cycles.
I prefer to wash everything before bed, and used to do that. I like a sparkling clean sink in the a.m.
Dear Hubby prefers to relax after dinner, and he gets up an hour early to wash the dinner dishes...
So, I let him. LOL!
If they've not been done when I get home from work (like today, but dear daughter is home) I will do them at 3:30-4:00 so they're gone when he gets home.

Dang, my next hubby will be trained by yours!

LOL! He was house-broke before I found him! Very well house-broke.

He actually threatens to call "Hoarders" on me... (I have this thang 'bout papers!)

I always rinse them and put them in the dishwasher and when it is full I will run it. when I did wash them I hated doing it.
