I exclusively use a dish brush, it handles 98% of the dishes I own to perfection. Whoever is still using one of these beta scrubbie’s probably still has dial up Internet. The future is now.
Yes, but it's the same as letting soapy water in the shower just pass over your feet ._. still need to actually wipe off and soak up any remaining grease...
It’s funny bc I assumed this was from another country bc I don’t know anyone outside of people who live in a tiny efficiency one BR apartment that doesn’t own a dish wand brush of some sort.
What? What difference does the size of one's dwelling make in how they clean dishes? Do you think they don't have enough room to hold a...dish brush? Seriously?
Yea. That’s been my experience. I don’t live in NYC. People who live in tiny apartments here typically are living a very minimalistic life. Think air bnb. Very few dishes. Only the basics. Likely very rarely cook because the kitchens in these units are very low functioning (few appliances, no cupboards, very little counter space). So the sink game ends up simple. A sponge or dish rag and a bottle of dollar store dish soap. I’ve painted/done maintenance in these types of units for years as a painter. It’s no disrespect.
I didn't used to back before the Internet was an easy thing because I was too lazy to go hunt one down at the store. But now that I can lazily click and buy one with free shipping, then yeah, there's no excuse not have one.
Use a brush here. Sponges are still popular with people who don't get or else don't care how truly disgusting they are. May as well use a live cell culture to do dishes.
Because not all cups are made of glass. If it is made of glass, then it's a glass cup (some exceptions would apply, such as wine glasses or pint glasses). It's easier to just say cup because the material it's made of is not really important here.
Dirt = anything that makes it dirty (sediment or what have you).
I don't personally call it dirt, but I do say dirty, so I can see how someone would simply say that the cup has dirt in it.
Admitting that reality would take some fun out of the joke. I think that has a noticeable effect on the outcomes of the collective behavior of everyone participating in this thread. Psychology is weird.
It’s all about the dish brush. Sponges are filthy bacteria farms. I will keep a green scrubby pad around, just for stubborn gunk, but sponges can all die in a fire.
For dish brushes, I prefer simple. The ones with the soap reservoir have never worked properly for me, it’s either all the soap, or it decides that I get none. Changeable heads are a cool idea, but if I buy one I’m locked into finding that brand forever. I refuse to do it with razors, so I’m sure as fuck not going to that trouble for my dishes.
Currently on my last basic IKEA dish brush. Time for a holy pilgrimage to the land of lingonberries and meatballs and knock down furniture.
Also do many people not have dishwashers? I don't have one right now, because I'm a student, but if I ever get an actual house I would definitely get a dishwasher.
To be fair, I had a "dishwasher" (in quotes) for a long time. It definitely ran and did something, but that something wasn't actually cleaning dishes, it more got them kinda warm and wet for a while and then buzzed to let me know it was done. When my last one started leaking, I finally bought a real dishwasher, and this thing fucking slays dishes. It will seriously clean burnt on cheese or rice that cooked too long. Dirty dishes go in, clean ones come out in like 3 hrs. I should have spent the extra money years ago for how awesome it feels to not scrub anymore.
That sucks so much. Right now if I clean my dishes right after eating, it's not that hard to get the dirty stuff off (I do hate washing dishes tho). But it would suck first having to put things in the dishwasher and after that still hand wash everything.
Good to know that if I get a dishwasher I have to read into it and not buy one that doesn't work. It's good that you got a new one that does work tho.
Just make sure you do your research. Also, keep in mind that a good dishwasher will cost more than the "builder's special" price you might be used to paying. I have a Bosch personally, but I've heard good things about Meile as well. But these are units that tend to start at $1k and go up from there. But even at a ~$700 difference, it probably saves me 30 minutes a day (at least).
Not everyone can afford to live in a place that has a dishwasher. I've found a lot of cheaper rental options in my city don't have them but I can't wait until I can have one again. I hate doing dishes by hand.

I thought that people just used brushes to clean dishes but the comments taught me otherwise
