Cleaning the Dishes

As a college student, it can be an inconvenience to clean the dishes and to make time for it. It is important to have clean dishes so that both the kitchen is clean and you are able to use these dishes when needed.

Your dirty dishes, dish brush, detergent, water stopper, and a dish towel.

Walk around your entire house to make sure you have all of the dishes.

There may be food left on the plate, like a cheeseburger from the other night, so make sure all food debris is removed. If it can’t fit down the drain, it needs to go in the trash. Then stack all the dishes to get ready for the next step.

Get a plug and start filling up the sink. If you want, you can add soapy water for an extra clean dish.

Putting the dishes in the water will allow them to soak and make it easier to get all the food off.

Grab a dish brush and get all the food and other stains off it.

Put all your dishes in your dishwasher, however is the best way for you to do it.

For my dishwasher, I have to press power then push start. Once I have pressed start I have 4 seconds to close it, if I don’t, then it won’t start. Depending on your dishwasher, you’ll just need to click start and it should do everything for you.

Now that we are waiting for the dishes to be done, we can clean up the mess we just made. Clean the sink and make sure all the food is down the drain and wipe up all the water on the counter around it. Following this clean all your counters while you wait.

Now that the dishes are done, there are still some with water on them. Grab a towel and dry them so they can be clean and dry.

Put all your dishes in their correct places
