When visiting my elderly father recently I noticed that his dishes, glasses and everything in his kitchen were covered with a grimy film. He explained that to save money he was cutting his dishwashing liquid with water (1/4 soap and 3/4 wanter) and using much less than the recommended amount dishwasher detergent. I say this waste of money, because there is no savings if you become ill from the germs accumulating in a dirty kitchen! You don't have to use a huge amount of soap, but please use full it strength to kill germs!

Also he uses a wooden cutting board for everything and rather than cleaning it with soap, he uses only wanter and then oils it. This is an old-fashioned and dangerous practice. Germs get in to the wood. Oil becomes rancid when out in the air. Best to use a non-porous plastic or glass cutting surface and clean it with soap and vinegar after each use. Food poisoning is more than unpleasant -- it can often be life threatening! Why take risks?
