And if you think I am joking, I'm NOT!
I attempt to put my phone down but I nearly drowned in a puddled kitchen counter. The dish rack is in an array with glass on top of plastic Rubbermaid Tupperware. Knives with forks, food stuck in the sink and the faucet remains stained. Yes, through all this chaos the dishes may have been cleaned. However, there is a better and/or more organized way to tackle such obstacle. This can make it easy for you and others, especially if you are sharing this common space.
P.S. Although I may feel it's required, NO misandry in this article! I am aware that there are men that keep order in the home, they do exist somewhere.
Let us start this complex process…
We must begin with emptying the dish rack and placing dry dishes where they belong. Please remember to do this first. Collect ALL dirty cups/dishes that may not have made it to the sink, because it makes sense to wash those as well. There is no picking and choosing what to wash, ADULT. Why half do it to cause someone else to pick up your slack, ADULT?
Now I could care less about the temp of the water, note you do not need an excessive amount of dish soap. No bubble bath is required for the task at hand as it may be when we bathe our bodies.
