To rinse / not to rinse: washing-up liquid poisoning.

[prunus]

Have you got a MACH-10 in your back pocket?

I rinse and worry about wasting water.

Who, me? What's one of those?

 

[prunus]

only wankers have more than one kitchen sink

Interesting point of view...

 

[cliche guevara]

This thread has given me stomach cramps. I don't rinse.

 

[Herbsman.]

only wronguns would leave soap residues on their dishes

especially with all them parabens

 

[boohoo]

In the interests of science.

which bit of science? home economics?

Well, if you had a husband, you would be in charge of the washing up, obviously. Unless your husband was wealthy enough to keep servants as well as a wife.

sexist.

do men not wash up?? Are the pictured people servants or wives??

 

[dodgepot]

yeah.

rinse = win.

 

[wiskey]

I use a tiny bit of washing up liquid so even though I don't rinse (what a waste of water) I don't get bubbles either.

Actually I mostly let the dishwasher do it

 

[lizzieloo]

Wouldn't waste the water rinsing, most people use FAR too much washing up liquid, don't use fairy etc anyway so not worried one bit about poison.

 

[wiskey]

I contemplated leaving him over it but he's so bad at washing up that I always end up washing food off the "clean" plates before I use them anyway

he'll give up on the 'I'll do it so badly she'll stop asking me' routine after a while.

 

[newme]

Yup clean off whatever it is then rinse it under the tap which is generally boiling hot water then leave to dry. Not just fish the things out the sink and leave in a bubbly mess on the drainer like certain housemates.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Well obviously I rinse; do I want bowls and plates covered with soap? No sir I DO NOT.

I can't believe that anyone is disagreeing to be honest. You idle sluts.

 

[mentalchik]

Don't rinse. Not emough room to as the washing up bowl fits the sink and I don't want to be washing in luke warm soapless water. Just give them a good drying when you've finished.

This ^...........sometimes rinse glasses quickly but that's all !

 

[wiskey]

...most people use FAR too much washing up liquid, don't use fairy etc anyway so not worried one bit about poison.

actually although I'm happy ingesting a teeny amount of ecover the idea of using a cup covered in the amount of fairy liquid I've seen some people apply makes me feel a bit queezy. Its bright green ffs!

 

[mentalchik]

Also how do you rinsers avoid overflowing the washing up bowl and diluting the hot water already there then ?

We're in danger of getting into the bowl/no bowl can of worms here

 

[mentalchik]

Well i sometimes fill the sink instead (if theres a lot) but then theres even more of an overflow problem surely ?

Well, if it's ecover, that's okay - it's rubbish and is hardly soap at all.

 

[wiskey]

yes but it smells lush

 

[dodgepot]

the rinsing water goes down the side of the washing up bowl into the sink.

i rinse everything cos of the fact that any water left on the items is water containing the food/drink residue that i'm trying to get off of the items.

although obviously for proper cleaning the 3 sink method should be employed.

you must have a bigger sink then coz i have the smallest size round bowl in mine and theres barely any room left to rinse everything without swamping the bowl !

Tbh it's never been an issue in my mind !

 

[Cid]

I am quite obsessive, although not because I'm worried about washing-up liquid poisoning.

 

[madzone]

no of course I don't fucking rinse

^^^

This.

I don't iron pants either

 

[teuchter]

Well I don't iron anything.

But I still choose not to eat detergent.

 

[Cid]

Quite... I'm not sure I even remember the last time I brushed my hair.

 

[teuchter]

Me neither.

About 15 years ago at a guess.

You like your women not to wash, then?

 

[Pingu]

and wrap themselves up in clingfilm on a hot june day?

 

[teuchter]

You like your women not to wash, then?

Themselves, or the dishes?
