My parents didn't teach me how to clean anything and now I'm older, confused, lazy and wish I had a maid. Thank you for your videos. They're helping me overcome my disorder.
Ahhh, poor thing your parents never made you clean anything? My sister and I always had to clean, cook, do laundry, etc. and for some reason our brothers never had to clean anything. We used to get a little annoyed and jealous but we never made a big deal out of it. Now we are all adults, and my 2 brothers live together by themselves and their place is like the nasty apartment in that movie fight club. I watched this video and thought, wow there are people who don't know these things? I read your comment and I realized, oh my god, there are, and there are people I love who don't know these things, Dee Tally my friend, you are like my brother :) haha Dont worry, you will get used to it..... you'll be alright:) I promise
Lol Yes I'm like your brother except I'm a girl :( Laundry is the only thing I ever had to do growing up which is probably why I'm so particular about it... Since I left that comment I've learned sooo much. I actually really like cleaning the bathroom now. The normal cleaning supplies that I was using would give me major headaches so I would never finish and I thought that meant my body just didn't like cleaning, so I stopped trying but now that I use the natural ingredients that she suggested like vinegar and baking powder I can clean the bathroom all the way through with no problem. Also this video came in handy as well and although I still hate cleaning my room it doesn't get nearly as messy as it used to. I also couldn't cook a thing not even white rice but Ive been watching videos on RUclips and I've now made and mastered an array of dishes and I can turn left overs into brand new meals. lol Im very proud of myself. The laziness still hits me every now and then but I've come a long way. Now I'm watching videos on up keeping the car like doing tune ups and oil changing. Don't know if I'll actually do it (scary getting underneath a car) but its good to know just in case. My next focus will be sewing. Wish me luck !!! Thanks for the encouragement +allyou and thanks for making these videos ***** We can all improve if were dedicated
Oh! hahah You are my sister:) I am so proud of you! From reading your comment you have come a long way, and what is important is you care. Don't beat yourself up for getting lazy, it is good to take a break, you can always do it later:) I don't think I would go under a car either! haha but sewing is a VERY GOOD skill to have, my mother taught me how to sew, crochet, knit, and pretty much most people I know except for some drag queens were never taught and never learned. Also knowing how to cook is probably one of the best life skills to have. I think having knowledge about practical everyday things like cleaning, cooking, sewing is good for me, hahaha I would not want to get my hands dirty or get under a car, but it would be good to know...keep it up let me know how you are doing with sewing:)
Dee Tally same here 😭
We learn when we are children by watching, listening asking and helping. Most likely you did none of the above. Bad parents or lazy child? Answers on a Postcard to : only joking that question was just for fun.
To all the people criticizing this... Of course people know how to wash dishes. However, not a lot of people do it effectively. I believe that is why she makes these videos and that's the reason I watch them.
As a freshman in college who has always had a dishwasher in the house since he was young, I can say that no, not all people know how to wash dishes
Musicizmyremedy I agree these videos are helpful for me not because I don't know how to do these thing but because she helps me do th ore efficiently
The Melissa method is genius! Yes I soak the dishes but I use running water to rinse. The vinegar rinse in the sink saves so much water!!
Musicizmyremedy preach
I agree...
the world is full of self-important critical idiots.
I think the most important tip is to start with a clean work space. I take all dirty dishes out of sink. I put dish soap in sink then then on hot water and scrub the sink. I couldn't imagine cleaning dishes in a gross, greasy, leftover food sink lol
I do the same thing!
wow nice... your dishes must be sparkling ckean.😉
Thats me too i clean out the sink and put all the dishes on the stove then i clean off the counter that i put clean dishes on i make hot soapy water add a little bleach then put dirty dishes in and let them soak then i wash them
Lynn DO NOT add bleach to your dish detergent water! The chemicals in bleach and dish detergent form toxic fines when mixed! I used to do the same thing and it eventually began to irritate my chest and breathing and I never knew why until I learned this. it can be extremely dangerous.
Chelsea S I use a small plastic tub so I don't have to reach into food bits to drain and it's easier to dump it
An easy way to wash dishes is to scrub all the dishes with soap and put them on the side and when your done take 1 by 1 and rinse them
thats what i do ✌
that's what I do
thats what I do
+Kassiya Clark thats what i do
+Niah Herman Omg I've been waiting for somebody to say this.. I also wash the way! Saves a lot of time
Thank you for putting some humor into these boring tasks.
ur a loser
bo boer stop trying to down people
Joy Williams I don't wanna
Mimi's Life STAY At Home Wife yeah...she sure did
@@joywilliams6094 youre a loser
I'm new to your channel and I've all of the sudden become obsessed with it!!! I really enjoy your videos and I thank you for all of them. I'm only 11, but I want to surprise my mom with a really clean house when she gets home tonight so thank you so much!!
Ok this is really sweet
U GO!!
He is 16 now
You’re an angel!
did it work out?
When I have a lot of utensils to clean, I like to clean a glass or mug first, rinse it out and set it aside. Then I wash every utensil, don't rinse them and just place them in the mug. Once I wash all the utensils I just rinse them all at once along with the mug. Saves some water and time
That is exactly what I do
I do that too it is very convenient
Instead of putting the utensils in a glass, I use a plastic plate. The plate holds a lot more silverware. When I rinse the dishes one by one, I put the plate in the scrubbed up sink and rinse all the dishes over the plate. I do a final rinse on the utensils to make sure the soap is off.
I do this except I start by putting all the utensils in one big vessel so that they soak and the bits of food come off easily first, then I keep a clean vessel for rinsing the scrubbed utensils.
Me too!
Came from a household where men did yard work and women did indoor work. Never learned to do laundry or wash my dishes but thanks to you now that I moved out im learning to be self sufficient:) thank you your videos are really helpful
Another way to clean stubborn food bits off pots and pans is to put some water in the pot or pan and place it on the stove to boil for around 5 - 10 minutes depending on how hard the food is stuck on
Heather Bowron This is how I do it. Works every time!
That's how I was taught too!
I’m afraid! Did the soap properly come off? Does Just a little dip in water or vinegar help in getting rid of the soap?
Yes I love doing this, very helpful!
@@fashionfunk1014 and it also helps the pipe stay clean.
Your husband's (🤷 SO) face when you took his plate that he was still eating from was priceless.
I love your enthusiasm and nice personality. I'm going to show my teenagers a few of your videos about the chores they have to do. This will be one less thing they have to hear from me plus they get to enjoy learning how to do it right from a sweet and happy person. Thank you!
I love your videos, growing up I was taught how to vacuum, load the dishwasher, put the trash by the curb. Now with my own place I have Hardwood floors, no dishwasher, and no curbside trash pick-up.
For the naysayers, I'm already a neat freak, but through watching Melissa, I always learn new ways to take my cleanliness to MegaOCD level! Even though I already do most of the things she suggested, I didn't think about adding vinegar to my rinse water to prevent water spots (I don't have a dishwasher). GENIUS!!!
1 tip I love is for the crock pot. Put a small amount of dish soap in the bottom and then fill it with water. Put the crock pot on low for 2 hours and then let cool. The stuck on grimy food will wipe and rinse right off.
Ooo, that's a neat tip! Thank you for that.
Artie Wagoner cool tip thanks
Artie Wagoner freakin brilliant! Use my crockpot all the time, and the next morning I wanna cry! Not anymore, though...
Artie Wagoner that tip is super helpful
You're my new favorite person on RUclips! Lol
Just curious, am I the only one that finds cleaning (esp. dishes) or watching cleaning videos to be therapeutic? I feel like I'm one of the few who actually enjoys cleaning and feeling productive, lmao.
Shalee Michelle You are not alone.
Me too. I actually like to clean, although it's gotten much harder over the years as I've gotten older and I don't have the stamina for it like I used to.... 🙂
ew
Please be my wife
I fill a mug or tall glass with soapy water, dip my sponge in and wash my dishes with it. I was taught that by a former colleague of mine. Uses less water and I'm usually done by the time the water becomes just a little warm.
Cat Tobin does it get all clean though?
I do too. Usually I fill the bowl that i will fill with soapy water with clean water for a quick 'pre rinse' for all my dishes so my soapy dip water won't get nasty. Works well.
@@hildcit yep. If you do a quick rinse or wipe with water then fill a bowl or mug with soapy water you'll clean the dishes quickly and end up saving detergent
Thanks Cat T. I'll try your suggestion, but I'll use a plastic bowl, safer for me.
The things I do to make this task shorter and more motivating (I have only one small sink):
1) Empy the dish rack by putting everything in the cupboards or wherever it goes
2) Quickly rinse all that is in the sink so that it will be easier to wash later
3) Completely empty the sink and put the dishes on the sides
4) Organize the dishes by category: make a stack of plates, then a group of glasses and cups, the group of cutlery (it can go inside a pan or a big bowl), the group of "random" stuff (tupperwares, etc.) and finally the group of pans and bigger dishes. This is the key part: it will allow to better divide the task, make it quicker and to have a better view of the quantity there is to wash, which makes it more motivating (when all the dishes are randomly put in the sink it gives the illusion that there's much more to wash than there really is...)
5) Clean the plates that I'll progressively stack in the sink (I like starting with those because they're the easiest, but it all comes to preference...)
6) Rinse the plates and put them on the dish rack (since you have a stack of plates in the sink, the plates waiting to be rinsed will take less and less time with all the water falling on them)
7) Repeat operations 5 and 6 with every other group (but I do the group of pans and big dishes last because they take too much space in the dish rack. As long as there's space in it, repeat 5 and 6 for the last group. If it really becomes impossible to put anything on top of the rest that is in the dish rack, I immediatly dry the pans after washing them and put them in the cupboards).
Little details that make this chore easier. It still sucks, but it sucks less ^^
Who are you and will you marry me.😍
OMG am having a fangirl moment right now. How is this even possible. This is why am freaking out.
Just 2mins ago before i read your comment i gave this method exactly as my comment. I kid you not this is how i do my dishes too. You understand. Finally someone understands me!!!!!!!!!. This is actually the easiest way to do dishes. They shrink and the task isnt intimidating anymore. You must divide and conquer.
Am so happy you exist. I wish i could meet you just so we can talk about how we torally get eachother.
Hey bro...I too do the same way...it's best to group the items...
1 tip I do is to clean the counter and make space alongside the sink to place all the pre-treated stuff to let them soak the dishwash liquid...then I begin with plates and bowls and cutlery and immediately place them in dishrack...this clears almost 50% space immediately
Then I take big bowls/pans and put them alongside with washing the biggest ones in the last and boy....the work is all done
Super best tip is to always use baking powder with liquid ....it works like magic
God bless you bro
This is how I do it!!! I've done this from day one! Cause I've always found the dish drainer or dish rack not that big! I'm in the UK so we have usually only 1 sink but we do have a drainer template that is attached to our sinks usually. (Where are drainer sits).
Thank you Melissa. Do the plates & glasses first & the bigger stuff after. Least I know I've done that right! 😇
Well done 💪💪💪
This is an awesome instruction, thanks very much for sharing!
i know this comment was 4 years ago but like i’m gonna try this method out it seems so much easier to do. i struggle with depression and i don’t like doing dishes so i sleep mostly all day and the dishes have just been piling up to where i don’t have anymore dishes. and it stinks up my kitchen (gross ik) i hope this method helps me out!!!! thank you
lol when you took the plate from him!!
Bougielay O'hara he gave that look like he was ran ran over 😂
I also have a tip. #1: If you have double sinks, fill sink #1 up with hot water and a few drops of soap inside. Drop all dirty dishes inside. The sink #2 is left empty so as you soap up each dish you can put it in here (sink #2). After you've soaped up/washed the dishes, let the water from the sink #1 drain. Then turn the faucet on luke-warm water and rinse off dishes through a running stream. It saves water since the faucet isn't running the entire time, just at the end when rinsing comes around :)
I'm glad you make these videos! There's lots of life's basics, such as washing dishes, where most people never bother to master them. It's nice to be a ninja at the basics. It makes your life awesome!
Great tips! It's always a chore I delay and any tips/hacks on making it easier are very welcome. I picked up a pack of microfibre towels for drying and they are so much better than the tea towels I was using.
I'm a dishwasher and thanks for the tips you have to me!!!
I don't get why no one likes her videos? She has good info. And is easy to watch. Would someone explain this to me?
Thank You so much!!
I just moved in to New York and I only have one sink, I was hoping for a "one sink" guide and you have it. Awesome!! .
thanks, your tips and English have been a good resource to improve, as my life as a wife, mother, teacher, and your good English keeps inside my head....... thanks!
Thank you for the very directive video. I will use it to teach my Home Ec class at school how to do the dishes, which is something kids and adults do not already know. And I will try to influence my own adult children to try these tips as well! I would also add Mary's famous words: "The dishes are not done until the sink is clean" (and the counter top/stove top is wiped clean as well!!) My kids and husband have struggled to learn this, maybe my Home Ec students will benefit someday from hearing this today!
Pretreating dishes, pots and pants litterally changed my life :) Thank you very very much ! I love your videos which I find so helpful, inspiring and full of humour :)
Thanks for sharing your tips on washing dishes. It was great to see you in the kitchen.
Wear an apron to protect your pure white blouse.
Thank you for making this video. I am nearly sixteen; and my mother decrees I must now inherit my brother's responsibility of washing dishes, but cannot teach me herself because my toddler brother wreaks too much havoc and must be hovered over 24/7. This video was extremely helpful to me. I could not have managed without it.
Loving your channel. As a teacher and mom, I need nonsense cleaning methods. Thank you for sharing all your tips!
I don't know why I always do this but, before I actually clean, I ALWAYS watch videos on how to clean before doing it. I guess it gives me motivation to get up and stop being lazy.
I love this video I already knew most of the tips, but it's just helpful to be reminded that having to hand wash dishes is not a trip to purgatory.
Hello .
I have a dishwasher, it's me.
Lol so true😂
+Shibrah Khan 😝😝😝I agree
Mike Peterson Haha I get it
Mike Peterson mine broke😫😩😤😠😡
sameee
I am watching for motivation, which I now have. Time for me to put on some tunes and wash the dishes. Thank you Melissa.
I really enjoy the humor here. 💚
Tip: in the event that you don't have a rack, use a microfiber towel (or a regular towel if you're on a budget). Place the bowls and glassware down first and then stack the plates against them. It helps the plates dry faster and you can put them away so they don't break. And if want to towel dry the others, you won't have too much to dry after.
I learned this myself back in high school.
when you put your dishes into your second sink over and over again, you'll never get it fully clean, it needs to be rinsed.
I was surprised by that. Kinda weird.
when I discovered your channel last yr I was mind blown because at first I thought how many videos can you really make about cleaning and is cleaning really that hard to have a dedicated channel for it. then I watched most of your videos and tried them in my home and it is life changing. it made cleaning more interesting and easy. told my husband about your channel and got him to watch a few of your videos since I'm the main housekeeper in our house lol. he was impressed. thank you guys for your hardwork. helped a SAHM of 3 kids like me 😉
I loved, loved, loved the pre-treat method!!! That is a great tip. Specially when having only one sink!! Thank you very much!!!!!!!!
I ALWAYS rinse the dishes before I fill the sink. It helps keep the water from getting dirty as fast.
For tip #6, we use kitchen cloths. After use, we wash them with towels. We've used the sponge and prefer the cloth over that.
Thanks for the informative video, sprinkled with humor to make it more fun.
Thank you for this video. I let them pile up but now I feel like I can do the job more efficiently and effectively.
Omg i love you! Cleaning has been so much easier since watching your videos. I now have more time with my children. I never knew how much vinegar and baking soda could do and ive been hearing that hydrogen peroxide is a good cleaner too.
+Samantha Stevens Hydrogen peroxide is great on carpet stains. Just mix a 50/50 solution of water and hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. Thoroughly saturate the area where the stain is. Place an old towel over the spot an iron it lifting the spot up into the towel. Note: this does not work on all spots, but beverages and pet droppings it works great.
HP is awesome! A bit pricey but a jug (Food Grade 35%) lasts me a couple of months. And you can use it to clean almost everywhere 🙂👍🏻
When I do my silverware.. I take a straining bowl, after I wash each utensil I throw it in the straining bowl so when I'm done washing them all I run water threw it and it washes them all off at once plus it gives them time to sit soaped up :)
This is GENIUS! I do the same but never thought to use a strainer omg
I’ve been washing dishes for decades and actually love the process. I find it mindless and therapeutic. But that damn silverware.... it’s the devil. A sink with two bowls and a plate looks like it would take about two minutes, but add in a bunch of silverware? Suddenly 45 minutes later.....
Ps: I’m Melissa Rose 🤯🥺
Thank you!! That was very helpful 💪💪 now my kitchen will always be clean 😃😃
So glad I ran across your video, old, but still timely and relevant! Thanks for your tips, and your humor. I will be forwarding this to my husband of over 35 years, who still can not figure out how to wash dishes properly and get them clean! Yikes ;)
We use the dishwasher as a drying rack! I rarely use my dishwasher so at least it has some kind of use! Plus it's less clutter on my counter tops!
I do too! I thought I was the only person in the world that did that, I hand wash every dish and the dishwasher is the drying rack/cupboard hahhaha it works good for me
Yes I do the same thing. Prefer less items on my countertop
why
Thanks for this. Had a dishwasher growing up and now I don't. I use a spray bottle with half vinegar and half water because I have a single sink. I also got a plastic camping style wash tub for my single sink and it rocks for soaking.
These tips are useful for my kitchen porter job. Thank you very much Melissa
It’s 2019 now and this is the first video I watched of yours, you are still great, and Chad is too.
Dishes are a whole lot less daunting if I do them as I cook. I fill up one sink with soap and water, and use the other to water-blast most of the gunk off with the hose thingy. While my guys are filling their plates, they fill mine for me (since there's no room at the counter for all of us anyway) while I load the dishwasher or finish handwashing the prep bowls by the time my meal is plated. As soon as family vacate the counter area, I put the condiments back in the fridge immediately. Nothing left to do at that point but the dishes we're eating from. (And if anyone knows how to make men rinse their dishes and load them into the machine instead of dropping them in the sink or all over the counters, I'm all ears.)
For roasting or frying pans with heavy cooked-on gunk I put a drop or two of soap in, fill the pan with water, and turn the burner on under it so the burnt stuff melts and I don't need to scrub as hard. If I don't clean as I go, it will be worse later and I'll probably just close my eyes and walk on by . I got rid of the dishrack - it took up valuable real estate - and just put the prep bowls & stuff on a microfibre drying pad.
Deborrah Cuttriss Sherman LOL that comment about men!! So true 😂😂
Probably time to have a come to mama talk with those men. Put your foot down girl and make it a new rule.
I got my dish rack for $5 and it came with the bottom, at Family Dollar.
She could pay more...because it's a write off.
I love her channel and why r u people saying bleach its vinegar how bout pay attention to the video. She gives great tips and you haters dont troll for dish help if your not picking up what shes putting down. He dishes are clean. And her channel is wonderful. Her tips on cleaning your room has really helpped me.
Yes same here. I always hated the smell of these cloves. So thank you for solving that problem for me.
I do the dishes myself here... but I don't think it's that monotonous. My cupboard is partially over the sink, so I put some videos in my cell phone, put it in the cupboard and watch anything. For instance, I'm doing the dishes right now, while watching this. By the way nice vid.
I don't find it monotonous either. Now I must confess, I live alone and I don't do dishes every day.
But I actually like washing dishes. I kind of like cleaning in general because of the immediate reward. Plus I have a process of my own so I have a feeling of creativity. :-)
Bruce Delaplain Hi Bruce! Well... My dishes and pans are from three people: me, wife and son. Even so, I don't do the dishes everyday either ahahahah... And sometimes it becomes a HUGE mountain to climb on the sink!! ahahahah!! And yes, it's a good sensation to feel the things getting clean, but I can't say I like to do it. I am a typical lazy man!
Well Mefisto I don't know why that comment was so funny but it was
Well Mefisto best tip on here thank you!
Me too. I watch vids while I wash or listen to music while I guzzle wine
what i do on a Sunday when we have a huge roast is I soak all the pots and pans and roast dishes in boiling hot water while I eat dinner I found out it make the pots and pans and roast dishes a lot easier to clean and less time standing there scrubbing them
You have a huge roast every Sunday?
@@sl4983 sounds awesome
I dont know where you are from but Its common amongst American homeowners to have a cook out/dinner game night with the family/extended family 1 night a week or bi-weekly. Usually heavily during Football/holiday season. Foreigners can stereotype us as “lazy fat Americans” lol we might be fat..but we are not lazy , we work HARD...So we eat good with the ones we love and try to have nice things!...The perks of prosperity.. I hate our Government, but i fuckin Love this Country, shes given me everything.
You will LOVE the scrub daddy! Highly recommended!
great video....i obsess about my dishes and what my family eats off of and a lot of people do not know nor care to wash dishes with attention to the details Melissa listed.
my own tips:
1) plan how to stack your dry rack (like Tetris) utilize all the space well and everything air dries pretty quickly.
2) use multi purpose dishes to minimize amount of dishes piled up.....a dish that can be used for dinner or soups or desserts beats having a whole range of plates to serve multiple purposes. and i find it easier to tackle large surface area items versus something that may have a lot of crevices or creases that would take more effort to clean.
great channel and cheers from Ontario!
I like using dish washing cloths. I use them for a few days then wash them. I feel like it's cleaner than a sponge sitting in water for weeks
Yes, they dont smell nasty like sponges do after only a few days, I do the same thing
Jennlewis16 i use my sponges,just for a few dish washes,then i wash them and put them in the microwave for 1 minute,kills all the germs and smell right off them,its amazing ; )
All You They smell nasty if you don't rinse them well and wring them out and air dry. I only get a smelly sponge if I leave it out with it soaked.
I hate sponges. Yes, there are ways to ensure they don't sit in water for weeks, and microwaving a damp sponge will help get rid of any bacteria. However, I'm all for using a dish brush. Easier to rinse and dry and easier to clean overall.
I replace wash cloths every day.
Soap and water will wash dishes...I've researched this several times. I've hand washed knives after cutting raw chicken, used them again and have never gotten sick. If soap is used properly and all residue is rinsed off, it will clean everything it needs to. For your old dishes, think about soaking them for an hour or so, that will make your cleaning much easier!
I enjoy hand washing dishes. I find it relaxing.
Thanks so much for that awesome spray bottle tip on how to sanitize my dishes when I only have one sink! I was looking for a way to get them super clean, and this will definitely help me do so while saving me a ton of time! Much appreciated!
Pre-rinsing is great because that avoids build-up in your dishwasher, which can lead to odours and grime on your dishes over time.
Having never owned a dishwasher, my family and I have always washed all our dishes by hand. These are all excellent tips, but we've done it a lot simpler and a little differently.
## Always scrape off food stains with a paper towel before putting them in a sink, and fill each of them with water.
We don't bother immersing them under water. We fill each cups and dishes with hot water and leave them for a few minutes before washing. It has always been more than sufficient to lift remaining gunk.
## We use a bowl to dilute a small amount of dish soap with water and use a plastic/nylon scrubbing pads to wash dishes with the diluted soap.
A sponge tends to get clogged up and keep oily stuff, but a plastic scrubbing pad nicely scrapes off a thin layer of oil and dirt without trapping them inside the pad. Diluting soap helps to make rinsing easier and quicker.
## Train yourself to be ok with getting hands wet.
Washing dishes gets a lot easier when you remove your mental block against getting your hands wet. Once you get over it, you will clean and finish more frequently instead of piling up.
I finish washing all the dishes, utensils and cookware for 4~5 people in about 10 minutes max, often quicker, including the brief initial soak time. I also wash while cooking, so the amount of cookware I need to clean after our meal is next to nothing. The key is to wash as you go, and NEVER pile up. If you have time to rinse, you can finish washing instead.
A good hand-washing habit has proved itself to be very beneficial in our case. We don't need to do any maintenance work for a dishwasher because we don't own one. We have more space for other things in the kitchen. We hold a minimal set of dishes and utensils because they always get cleaned and be ready to go again within a few minutes. We don't need to worry about what item should not go into a dishwasher. We have successfully removed the entire category of maintenance work and the need to use dishwasher peripherals.
DON"T use paper towels! Use micro-fiber cloths then wash and reuse.
@@chrisclark880 Why?
Can't wait to do dishes now. thanks!
I can easily relate to this. thanks for the tips.
If you have two basins, I have a tip for you. This is an alternative to filling the sink with water.
1. Fill a small, wide-bottom tupperware with 1/6 cup of water and JUST enough soap.
2. Using your SLOP scruber, remove all the grease+food from your dishes, starting with the cleanest ones (cups+forks).
Stack these dishes as you pre-wash them, starting with the largest diameter bowls on the bottom. The idea is to stack so that they are stable. Same for cups and plates. Also, put the forks in a cup standing up. Make it easier on yourself.
3. Using a DIFFERENT, clean sponge, dip into the tupperware, using JUST enough soap, thoroughly scrub the dishes, get in all the nooks and crannies*. Stack them as in the previous step.
4. RINSE the dishes Only a very THIN stream of water is needed for this. Rotate the dish around in your hand as to distribute the water all over. Wash off all the soap. T
--As you rinse, put the dishes in the rack. Nesting them so that the larger items overlap the smaller items, like a russian nesting doll. Like this: >7 or ( Cc
5. CELEBRATE and ENJOY excellent technique.
Also, change out the soap if you need to. Again, only use as much as is needed. Use your own judgement and think about how much soap is actually needed to clean your dishes.
Use dish wands and bottle brushes to gain more leverage (makes the work easier) and reach into deeper glasses. Or don't buy/use glasses that your hand doesn't fit in.
* (Or just buy dishes without nooks and crannies/scalloping. Step 0 is buying dishes that are easy to wash.)
Who is about to read this whole novel
Anyone else with quasi-OCD, but anyone with quasi-OCD already knows this, sooo... absolutely nobody!
Michael Chavez I hav a quasi ocd but I don't know this xD I often find myself using so much water and soap and still find the dishes soapy and unclean no matter how many times I rinse xD thanks!
It's waste of time to wash dishes twice
Jfc
You can easily get dish racks from 99p shop or dollar tree.
Right..$15 foh
+Dr. Carter its actually 99 cents...
+Abby_hj not all countries have the same currency
Those are usually smaller than the one in the video, but I agree. I would rather but a couple smaller racks at $1 apiece than to buy one for $15.
The in sink racks yes, but if you're buying an X rack, get a good one. Worth their weight in gold, last a long time....
your video editing is great omg, very entertaining
Love this!! I do not have a dishwasher so this is great! I put coconut oil on my hands before I put on my rubber gloves..great for my hands!!
Keep up the awesome work!!
You use baking soda for everything haha
"Mom I broke my arm!"
"Hold on sweety I'll get the baking soda"

what a amazing woman , much love for you, 5 starts video, i wich i can thumb up two times
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You literally change my life in an instant. Now I'm washing dishes 10X faster ^_^
(And I kinda enjoy it too 😉 )
Ciao Melissa...your tips are always useful 😉
I hate utensils sitting around on the counter or in the sink. They drive me nuts. So I have a nice big cup (ours are from a couple hospital trips) and I have everyone place their sliverware "face down" or the side that goes in your mouth or is pointy down in the cup. Then I will sometimes put some dish soap and a little bit of water in the cup and it makes it easier. I also got a utensil holder for bigger utensils like wooden spoons and knives, etc. It saves a lot of counter space!
Great idea.
Great idea
Pro tip: instead of only scraping the food off of your dishes, also rinse them in hot water before you put them in the sink =P You won't have to soak them or scrub them later. And... don't put knives in your sink. If you leave them sitting beside the sink until you wash dishes you won't cut yourself while you have your hands in the dish water.
Thank you for the tip, I have followed these tips on my channel where I upload videos of cleaning my dishes every day thank you.
This was pretty helpful! Thanks!
Can you do a video of how to organize a VERY small kitchen how you store small appliances with no pantry? I also don't have a dishwasher and I'm sick of looking at my dish rack all the time but not sure how to store it! Please help!
Bethany Minzy, store the dish rack on a shelf liner under the sink
Bethany Minzey, you can store your dish rack on a shelf liner under the sink in the cabinet. You could also not use one at all and use a towel on the counter for drying instead.

Extremely helpful video
Sasha Alexander sharing some awesome dishwashing tips!
Thanks :)
how to make washing dishes fun
kamo cat Maybe you can buy a phone stander (i don't know what it's called but i mean the thing where we put our phone on, or maybe just a simple wide bowl), and then put your phone there then play a youtube video- videos that just need your ear to understand because you may not be able to actually look at it.. for example: lectures. or you can also play an audio book. Hope this helps. I'm sorry about my english, it's not my first languange :)
I have a dish washer but I now started washing my dishes by hand and setting them in the dishwasher to dry. It saves on electric and water.....
That's very conscious of you!
Still cute in 2017!!! Thank you for someone who uses her dishwasher without fail. I'll rethink this
Thanks for the useful tips👍😊
Surprised that anyone would do a final rinse using water in the sink, vinegar additive notwithstanding. Is it considered too fastidious to only use
water from the faucet for the final rinse?
I believe people rinse dishes in a sink full of water rather than from a running tap because it saves water.. About adding vinegar, I never heard of that.
TonyHickschick No doubt it saves water, as long as a bit of soapy residue is acceptable. Looking at glasses after they dry off might reveal how much.
It's the method that'd be necessary at camp with water acquired from buckets, but given the availability of plumbing and hot running water, that's carrying conservation to the point where it's not really cleaning fully.
***** I see your point.
A compromise would be to use fresh tap water for the rinse but using a slosh technique of transferring the water back and forth between two cups, one in each hand, to maximize the removal of soap and residue with the least amount of water use. That would save a lot of water compared with having a continual stream from the tap and still get all the soap off.
A faucet with a single lever handle also helps because it allows the water to be quickly turned on and off as needed, compared to faucets with knobs that would have to be left running. Probably very few faucets now with knobs, but there may still be some.

I keep a hand cream with my gloves and put that on before I put the gloves on......even though they protect my hands already just having the added moisturizer leaves my hands soft and not to mention smelling good
Lanessa Gates great tip
Thank you so much for sharing those wonderful 👍👍👍ideas
Excellent video. Thank you.
When you dip the soapy dishes in the water with vinegar and then put them directly into the dish rack, how do you know all the soap is off? I imagine there is lots of soap near the last dish. I love the idea and have 2 sinks, just paranoid lol
You can certainly do an extra rinse - that's also why you change out the rinse water if you feel it's getting grungy.
when im watching any "how to" video... most of them i already know how to do it but i just want to watch to see if im doing it the right way according to the video.
I am so glad to have seen this vid. All my life have never had to hand wash a sink-full of dishes, until now.
THANKYOU so much your tips and tricks will halp me soooooo much
wash in groups. don't wash rinse each individual dish. wash a whole group then rinse. don't nit pick every dish
+downunder diva how do you wash in groups?
+omar proctor scrub a bunch of them and set them aside before rinsing so you don't have the water running the whole time
In the video she picked a glass, washed it, and rinsed it, the same with all the rest, and all the time the water was running. If you wash all the glasses first and then rinse them all one after the other, you only leave the water running half the time.
Yeah I'll nitpick rinse every dish! The last thing you'll want to eat or drink off your plates glasses and cups is residual dish soap.....
@@Noahllie what's the difference between wash and rinse
I need to get some better gloves, because mine make dishes slip through my hands easier. I didn't realise that all gloves 'are not created equal' but some do have a better grip
Thanks for the one sink tip, you just saved my life.
Adding to my earlier comment, I do watch your videos and except for the critique below, love your ideas and information!
