Washing Dishes?

What are some good ways to wash dishes faster? It takes me forever to wash dishes. How are some ways to get it done quicker? I use a hand held scrub thing that holds the soap. I can't afford a dishwasher right now.Washing Dishes?
Let them soak and use a brush. The tool you are using just has a sponge end if I am correct. If you r sink has two sides then fill the other side up after cleaning it for rinsing. Here is the procedure:








Soak


Scrub


Dip and rinse

Use the hottest water you can stand. Experiment with detergents to see if you can find one that cuts the grease best and washes off quickly. The thing that slows me down is that the soap takes so long to wash off. Softer water will make this worse, so if it's possible, adjust your water so that it is not too soft.
I do it at night after the family is in bed, or right after supper. Don't let it build up. First I do plates and silverware. Then as I'm rinsing those off I load the sink with the glasses and cups, then lastly I do the big stuff (pots and pans)
soak them in soap first......................duh..oh plus, if u do that, it'll save u money on the water bill......
A few suggestions:


- use syrofoam plates


- eat frozen dinners which come in their own containers


- eat at a restaurant


- eat food that doesn't require dishes (cookies, fruit, chocolate...)





If that doesn't work for you then definitely wash them after every meal %26amp; let the really yucky ones soak for a while in really hot water!
Wash after every meal.
first of all u shouldn't wait until ur sink is overflowing with dishes. once u use a dish and u don't feel like washing it just pour water in it. this gets the food wet and prevents it from sticking. do this to all dishes whether they're cups, mugs, plates, or bowls. the spoons and the forks or any eating utensil should be left inside a cup full of water or the like. always wet. always wet.





once u have time to wash them the food isn't stuck to them. make sure ur scrub has a soft side for shining and another for actual scrubbing. two sided scrubs are better than one. it doesn't matter what kind of soap u use. just rinse ur dishes well cuz sometimes u can accidentally leave some soap.








peace to the dish washers out there.
Wash them after you re done eating and let them air dry (more sanitary) I always fill up one side of the sink sometimes with hot soapy water and just soak the dishes when I'm really busy , and get them in the evening .
I organize the dirty dishes on the counter, then I wash in this order: glasses, plates, bowls, pots and pans, and silver ware last.


Having them on the counter gives you more room in the sink, and you can wash them faster.
Use hotter water and let the dishes soak for about 5 minutes before you do them. It should get the stuff off way easier and will save time.
Place a little liquid soap in the sink and start filling it 2/3 full of hot water. Place your silverware and dishes in to soak for about 15 minutes to disolve the leftover food streaks after you have scraped the leftovers from the plates first. Also rinse with hot water too. As hot as you can take but don't burn yourself.
Maybe won't help with them getting cleaner faster but if you was to warsh your dishes wearing a nice thin cotton tshirt while splashing in da sink would help bring in additional income for your hard work.
