A Conversation for Handy Household Tips
Washing Up
Huw B Started conversation May 6, 2000
People often use far too much washing up liquid. This produces too many bubbles. Don't!
All you need is a few drops of liquid (Yes, I was a student!), water as hot as is comfortable and a bit of elbow grease.
Actually try to remove food/dirt from the dishes by wiping; don't just splash some water about and pray!
Apart from reducing bubbles, you also save on liquid.
And remember - if a plate is really clean then it will squeak when you draw your finger across it!

Good advice, Huw B.
BTW I've written a whole Entry on Washing Dishes, and submitted it 7 weeks ago. You'll find it at http://www.h2g2.com/A279290.

Actually the correct student method for keeping dishes clean is DON'T EAT. (Finalist......)
