Rinsing plates why dont we do it?

[Robbie G]

Never rinse, waste of water. If it's going on the draining board, no need to rinse, if you're drying it straight away, then rinsing it speeds up the drying process

So, what was your favourite ever tea towel? We had a lovely one depicting the Norfolk Broads once. Beautiful.

Ohhh, was it the one with a nice windmill and pictures of boats at Wroxham? That was a particular favorite of mine! Did you get your's from Roy's of Wroxham? That's where I got mine!

Needs a poll. Who has a dishwasher and who washes manually?

OK - seeing as no one else has risen to the challenge I will do it then. I will leave someone else to start the one about favourite Tea Towels (or pot cloth as our Northern friends apparently refer to them).

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

Everything of mine is hand washed and rinsed under a hot running tap.

I have a dishwasher but haven't used it since I moved in.

I remember when I was a young'un that my parents' newspaper ran a headline story to the effect that the big companies were meeting to discuss their liability in the face of new evidence that had found that not rinsing plates left detergent on them, which then got ingested next time you ate off them, and that that had been shown to lead to cancer.

Must have been hogwash as they never said another word about it. Either that or they got hushed up.

I don't rinse, it's pointless and uses up time!

I got one with cockney rhyming slang on it.

Rinsers, do you leave the hot tap running or fill the sink up again and just dip em in clean water? It's an issue very close to my heart and lets face it you don't want to overdo it on the gas billl now do you

I rinse and leave the hot tap running gently, but I dont have to worry about the gas bill as it doesnt heat the water

 

[Woodchip]

WHEN I do the washing up, I rinse glasses but not plates.

What she said.

The interesting thing is that those of us who aren't obsessed with domestic cleanliness seem to be able to live quite comfortably with all sorts of bacteria and bugs.

MrsA and her chums, CDiff and C-Coli, are much more interested in attacking places that are, apparently, OBSESSSSSSSED with cleanliness.

 

[house your seagull]

when i went to uni the tw@t i lived with would shout at me for not rinsing, saying we'd all get ill if i didn't rinse ...

i grew up letting bubbles drain off the plates, and never got ill, nor tasted any detergent.

the taste and 'texture' of washing machined crockery et al i find pretty rank.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

The answer to your question is that teraditionally European detergents were much strongert han English 'washing up liquids' and you needed to rinse them or you ended up with stoamch ache.

On the flip side, many Europeans used to think that english washing up liquids didn't clean properly.

As pretty much everyone now uses Johnson and P+G porducts it probaly doesn't mmatyter anymore but old habits die hard.

Dishwashers always rinse.... why? Because the detergent is stronger.

Leave things dirty, it's less effort and you build up a good immune system
