I'm not blind, but the way I wash dishes, when I rinse I press my fingers against the surface and slide with a bit of force through as much surface as I can. If my fingers don't skip across, it's not clean enough. It ideally should make that audible squeaky-clean sound.
I also identify minuscule stuck pieces of food through touch rather than sight. I need to not feel those for it to be clean.
- supportengineer 3y agoSame. My fingers tell me when the dishes are clean, not my eyes.
- buttercraft 3y agoYes, this is the only way to clean by hand. Your fingers feel things that your eyes could never see.
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoA water break test[1] is even more sensitive, but requires vision. Total overkill for cooking though, even your skin oil left by touching the pot will cause it to fail the test. [1] https://www.astm.org/f0022-21.html https://www.astm.org/f0022-21.html
- VBprogrammer 3y agoHehe, that reminds me of one of the Applied Science videos where he's trying to get a coating to adhere to glass by various extreme cleaning techniques. Afterwards he says something like "washing the dishes is basically just scraping off the big lumps of food."
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoIIRC his "How to choose a cleaning solution"[1] video does cover the water break test. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiL6uPNlqRw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiL6uPNlqRw
- Mezzie 3y agoI'm visually impaired but not blind and I have to use touch to wash dishes. The idea of only using vision is disgusting.
