With the success of my Guide to Laundry, I thought I’d provide a lesson in how to wash dishes. By success, I mean having written four pages of nonsense which no one will read.
Either way, here is my take on doing dishes.
In order to prevent illness, dishes should be washed and sanitized after use. Like the washing machine, great strides have been made in the advancement of dishwashing. I’m not sure if you have noticed, but there is an automatic dishwashing machine located next to the sink! Literally right next to the sink! (see below)
To wash dishes, all that is required is that the items be loaded in a somewhat orderly fashion. Then it’s as simple as pushing a button to let the magic of innovation take over the mundane task of washing dishes. It must be noted, some dishes should be hand washed, such as printed mugs/glasses, delicate pieces, and some larger items.
While the concept of hand washing seems like an insurmountable mountain of difficulty, you will be amazed at the ease at which this can be accomplished. Soap is available in an easy to use pump, sponges can be found right in the sink, and a drying rack is conveniently located on the counter. In case you are unaware of what a sink is, it’s the deep hole where you usually stack dirty dishes so that food can cure to their surface.
Like laundry, the final step is putting the dishes away. This can be accomplished with relative ease and makes completing the next wash cycle far easier. Just find where you got the plate, bowl, or glass from and put it back there.
Contrary to belief, Snow White is not going to show up and just take care of the dishes. So, once you finish a bowl of cereal, glass of milk, or delicious hot pocket, go ahead and put that dish in the dishwasher!
