Washing your dishes by hand might seem like a horrible chore you want to avoid. However, your dishwasher could very well be sucking up well over the necessary amount of electricity and water if you don’t have an efficient one. If you want to start washing your dishes by hand so you don’t have to rely on your dishwasher, follow the tips below.

• Add hot water and soap to those greasy pots and pans. Let these soak separately from your other dishes, because you don’t want to wash your almost clean dishes in oily, grimy water.
• Stack your dirty dishes outside of the sink, because the goal is to use as little water as possible.
• Place your cutlery in the sink and add hot water and soap. Clean all of them first and then rinse them off at one time. Then place them in a dish drainer to dry. Drying them with towels can actually be less sanitary.
