Am I unhygienic? I grew up with a dishwasher, but since leaving home I just give a dish a ten second scrub in hot water with a sponge and dish soap, make sure there are no visible food particles, and set it out to dry. Am I flirting with danger by failing to sterilize my plates? I have room for a dishwasher, I just don't see the point.
- ceejayoz 1y agoDishwashers aren't a huge difference from a hygenic perspective. (Assuming you periodically replace the sponge, use hot water, etc.) It's time that's the main factor. Ten seconds per dish becomes a lot if you have a lot of dishes, and some dishes take longer than that - delicates like champagne glasses, large pans, caked-on stuff, etc.
