Sink Full of Dishes? Our 3 Tips to Solve The Problem
A sink full of dishes can be unsightly in any kitchen. Even if the rest of the kitchen looks and feels clean, it can be hard to feel satisfied when the utensils, dishes, and mugs start piling up. You’re not alone! According to a survey of 1020 U.S respondents by Cinch, 26.4% of people rank “hand-washing dishes” their most disliked chore. In this post, we’re going to walk through why it happens and three ways to make dealing with dirty dishes easier!
Why It Happens
Maybe the dishwasher is full or you’re running low on time, you put that first plate down in the sink. Suddenly, there are 10 more items waiting to be washed. With busy households, it is a constant cycle of using dishes, glasses, and utensils. Most people don’t enjoy doing dishes so no-one wants to claim responsibility. It is much easier to have the “we’ll do it later” mentality when there are multiple people in the home. With no regular routine to complete washing in short bursts, the time to complete the task increases and reinforces the negative experience.
The Allsorts Sorted Dish Method
We have three simple tricks that can keep your sink from always being full of dishes:
Load as you go: Remember to place items into the dishwasher as soon as they’re finished with. Piling them only encourages more to be added.
Sink reset after dinner: If you’ve started food prep with an empty sink and dishwasher, it is much easier to clean up whilst cooking and after eating. Having the kitchen cleaned before settling down to enjoy the evening can make a huge difference.
Fresh start to the day: Waking up to a clear kitchen sets the tone for your day. If there are any dishes left over, tackle them early in the morning!
