  • If you are not going to wash your dishes right after eating of them, rinse them off with water and put them in the sink. You will be a lot thankful when you do decide to do them!
  • When if comes time to wash them, turn on the water to really warm.
  • Put a little bit of soap on the sponges.
  • Add a little bit of water to the sponge to make the sponge soapy.
  • Using the soapy sponge rub down each part of the dishes
  • Rinse the soapy water off
  • Place the dish in the drying rack in order for the dish to dry
  • When dishes are dry put them away

With Dishwasher

  • If you are going to run the dishwasher right as you put the dishes in the dishwasher there is no need to rinse off the dishes, just make sure all the food is scraped off the plates.
  • If the dishwasher is not going to be filled and ran right away, you must rinse and remove food from the dishes, because if you do not the stuff will get caked on and there is no guarantee that the dishes will be cleaned properly.
  • Place the dishes in the dishwasher
  • Put the dishwasher detergent in the soap compartment
  • Close the dishwasher
  • Put the machine to the accurate settings, most cases you can use a normal wash and heat drying.
  • Push start
  • When the dishes are done you can put them away
