What is the six steps of proper dish-washing?

1. Scrape off loose food and rinse off dishes.

2. Fill the sink with very warm water and a squirt of soap. Use sponge or dishcloth to wash

3. Put silverware in front area of sink; all handles on one end.

4. Wash non-greasy dishes first: cups and glasses

5. Wash plates, bowls, serving dishes

6. Wash silverware and then pans

You can rinse dishes as you go or at the end of the process. If you have someone drying the dishes as you go, rinsing them as you wash is the way to go.

If you are washing dishes one by one,

1. Wet dishes

2. Put soap on dishes

3. Wash with sponge

4. Wet dishes again to get soap off
