Is it important to wipe dishes?

First and foremost you should make sure that all of the dishes are rinsed off. Next you should run hot or warm dish water. Remember hot water sanitizes. ONCE THE HOT water is in the sink, place the dishes 5 at a time in the sink or tub. Let the dishes soak for aproximately 5 minutes. Some of the food should be off.For really greasy dishes soak for 10 to 20 minutes. Wash dishes in a circular motion until the food is completely off. Rinse in the HOT water the place on the rack. repeat this with every dish. But with cups put the towel or sponge inside of the cup then run it along the edges, rinse ,then place on the rack. Make sure that when you wash dishes you get in the corners really good ,and that my friend is how you wash dishes.
