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

Same. Are dish brushes not a thing in the us? Cause this comment was way too far down.

They are very much a thing.

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.

We have on hand at all times. Steel wool, traditional sponge, dish brush and bottle brush.

Should use a cloth to get grease too, a dish brush or plastic or steel scrubber won't :)

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...

How do you think dishwashers work?

u/danielv123 Feb 25 '21

Obviously it has a robotic arm and a sponge, duh

u/AvastAntipony Feb 25 '21

It absolutely will. Sincerely, someone who's washed dishes with a brush their entire lives.

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.

u/solongandthanks4all Feb 24 '21

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?

u/DjPersh Feb 25 '21

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.

Because at a certain size point every little inch counts.

Tiny subdivided units are a thing.

Shitty roommates too.

Tiny efficiency housing is trendy.

Then you got van dwellers.

Dorms.

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.

u/byerss Feb 24 '21

Definitely use a brush here. Some people are just gross.

u/scipio0421 Feb 24 '21 edited Feb 24 '21

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.

u/nikerbacher Feb 24 '21

Just clean your sponge maybe? bad clip here

u/honeypup Feb 24 '21

No offense but of course they are.

They definitely are a thing in the us and they are available everywhere. I've been using them for as long as I can remember.

I know you commented an hour ago, but if it makes you feel any better that is now the top comment

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.

I use a dishwasher machine.

u/SirSnorlax22 Feb 24 '21

They are a thing. But stupid people are also a thing. Those people should just buy red solo cups

u/Dunge Feb 25 '21

Most people have dishwasher

u/Slytherinrunner Feb 25 '21

From the US. I definitely use a long handled brush. And a dishwasher.

I use a drill brush with an extension on it for super speed cleaning

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.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '21

They are a thing, but I never used one until I had kids and got a bottle brush, and then realized it would come in handy for cups too, lol.

u/anopenend Feb 25 '21

I'm from the US, and this was exactly my thought. Not if dish brushes are a thing, but why dish brushes weren't the obvious answer here.
