You’ve been washing yourself all wrong! Woman Sparks Debate About Her ‘Logical’ Method, But Some People Claim She Will End Up With ‘Smelly’ Dishes
A Scottish woman sparked a fierce debate by questioning whether she is a “dirty dish freak” for not turning on the tap while washing dishes.
taking to Reddithe described soaking his dishes “in a bowl of hot water and soapy suds.”
The curious cleaner, who is from Glasgow, added that she is methodical in her strategy, going from cleanest to dirtiest, so the water doesn’t get too dirty.
‘Glasses, mugs washed first,’ he explained. Dishes, pots and pans come last. If the water gets pretty cloudy, I’ll dump it, refill the sink, and move on.
The cartel, which calls itself Scotgrl, said however that it has noticed “a lot of people without a sink” cleaning dishes in the sink while running the water.

The distraught dishwasher clarified that she “hasn’t died yet from residual excess Fairy Liquid consumption”, after some commenters raised concerns about soap residue.
The viral post has amassed thousands of responses, which vary in their views.
Some disliked someone washing dishes in ‘dirty water’ and then not ‘rinsing at all’.
“I never liked this method,” one person admitted. ‘Yes, there’s soap, I get it, but there’s no point in cleaning them with dirty water, even if you rinse them.
‘I have also noticed [that with] people who clean their dishes like that smell, especially if it’s eggs or other smelly food.’
One person even claimed that they can “taste the soap” if the dishes aren’t rinsed, adding that the soaking strategy is “mostly just a British thing.”
Others admitted a combination of methodologies.

Some seemed shocked by the strategy, disgusted that someone washed their dishes in ‘dirty water’ and then didn’t ‘rinse them at all’.
One poster claimed they keep touch on a ‘moderate dribble’, while another detailed ‘a combination of the two’ systems.
However, not everyone was as horrified, nor concerned about receiving food that tasted like dish soap.
They said as long as the dishes were washed, that was all that mattered.
‘Do the dishes come out clean?’ asked a commenter. ‘If the answer is yes, you’re doing it right.’
A second simply quipped, “The correct method is to leave them with water to soak and hope someone else finishes them for you.”
