On Tet holiday, surely you and your family prepare luxurious dishes to worship your ancestors and then enjoy and chat with family members. However, after every meal, the task of cleaning the dishes makes many people reluctant because the plates and bowls are stuck with grease. Many women complain that “washing dishes” is even more tiring than preparing food and cooking. However, if you know these tips, the task of cleaning greasy dishes will be much simpler and faster. Let’s find out through the article below!
Tips for washing dishes quickly and cleanly
1. Remove leftover food before washing
Excess food, bones, and paper stuck in the plates and pots need to be discarded into the trash before washing to avoid clogging the drainage, and at the same time make dishwashing faster.
2. Classify the dishes and utensils to be washed
Do not leave the plates and pots in a mess, but divide them into types: less greasy and greasy, separate plates, separate bowls, separate baskets, separate pots…
3. Wash the dishes step by step
Step 1: Rinse with clean water before washing
Rinse the plates, pots… with water to remove excess food residues and grease. Soak burnt pots or utensils that hold dry and hard rice and sticky rice for easier dishwashing.
Step 2: Wash with soap
For convenience, use a double sink or prepare an extra large basin. Mix dishwashing liquid with warm water, stir to create foam. Do not pour dishwashing liquid directly onto the dishes, this does not make the dishes cleaner but also makes more chemicals cling, harder to clean.
Use a sponge or dishwashing brush to dip in the diluted solution to wash each dish one by one, wash the dishes with less grease first and then the greasy ones. Wash the larger dishes first and place them at the bottom, then stack the smaller ones on top.
Step 3: Rinse twice with water
The remaining chemicals on the dishes are very harmful to the body, so they need to be rinsed with water to ensure cleanliness. Do not rinse superficially until the soap foam is gone.
You should thoroughly clean the dishes with 2 rounds of water, the first water in the sink is clean, use a clean sponge to wipe off the soap foam, the handle of the dishes should not feel slippery, the second water rinses the dishes under the running water to completely remove the chemicals. For plastic items that are difficult to remove odors, soak them in warm water mixed with a little lemon juice, then rinse with clean water.
Step 4: Arrange the dishes after washing
Place the plates and bowls on a tray or rack to drain the water quickly. Upside-down glasses can be placed on a cup holder.
