Ease the Kitchen Clean-up

On days when the family is home, keep a dish pan of soapy water in the sink. As family members use plates and glasses throughout the day, give them a quick wash in the soapy water and rinse under the faucet. Better yet, have family members wash what they use themselves!

I hate the smell of cold dirty dishwater. I like to give them a quick rinse off, then using a long-handled dish brush having been dipped into cooking pan of water that needed soaking anyway, & heated till hot, give the dishes a quick bush over, then rinse.

Good tip. Even if the dishes are just put into the hot soapy water, they soak clean, and just need a quick rinse off, and into the dryer rack. I try to do this at work in the lunchroom when it is my week to be on "kitchen" cleanup.
