out of curiosity...

I'm just wondering. When you wash a load of dishes by hand, what order do you wash the dishes in? (I know some of you have dishwashers, humour me.)

Me:

plates
bowls
utensils
cups
pots & pans

When I don't have a dishwasher, I am completely OCD about the order of my dishwashing-by-hand!

Utensils
Glasses
Bowls
Plates
Pots and Pans

I put the utensils in and let them soak while I wash the cups.
Then I do the utensils
Bowls
Plates
Pots and pans

I also wash in the left sink and move them to the right.

My children have learned to do it the same way. Someday, one of them (ok...Abby) will probably get in an argument with someone, trying to convince them of this "fact of life".lol

Whatever I can do to get them done fast...pots and pans are last every time though!

I just don't wash them. So, when I HAVE to, I wash a bunch of pots and pans, and then come back a couple of days later to put them away. Then I go on to the rest.

If I do them more frequently (C'mon, I'm single!):
Plates
Bowls
Glasses
Silverware
Pots and Pans

Man, I wish I had a dishwasher! I'm going to go mope now . . .

Gawd - my heart lurched when I read that, Cathy. How can anyone do dishes random? lol
Laura Jane said…
I thought I did it random, but Im like you Hope. Except I do cleanest to dirtiest, (but usually in that order because cuttlery is what I feel after the plates and bowls have cleared out of there.)

It sounds like the popular vote but I'll throw some extra's in there just for fun:

plates/bowls
cups & sippy cups
little valves to the sippy cups
utensils
pots & pans
highchair tray

And if it would fit.....

the highchair.

Well, really it depends on the day lol! Mostly I wash plastic kid dishes...plates usually first, then cup and utensils!! I just go nuts! I have one of those scrubbers shaped like a flower (dish soap in he handle) and I just do it! FAST so I can do other things lol!!
