Use dishwashing cloth as a “versatile fabric”
Some people, in order to save money or for convenience, use one cloth to wash dishes, clean the kitchen table, and even wipe the dishes after washing. However, this is very harmful as it will unknowingly transfer bacteria from one place to another, especially if the bacteria are trapped on the dishes, it will be harmful to health.
Pour leftover oil from dishes directly into the drain
After a meal, there is usually a small amount of oil and water in the dishes. Many people have the habit of pouring this excess oil or water directly into the drain, which can easily accumulate and clog the pipes.
Pour dishwashing water directly onto the dishes
This can cause the residual chemicals from the dish soap to remain on the surface of the dishes, making it difficult to completely clean even after rinsing multiple times.
After washing dishes, only rinse briefly
Some busy housewives often use the excuse of “not having enough time”, so when washing dishes, they usually only rinse briefly, thinking that as long as they don’t see any foamy residue from the detergent, it’s clean enough.
However, you may not know that with our senses, it is difficult to detect the remaining chemicals on the surface of the dishes if they are only rinsed briefly.
Soaking dishes in dishwashing water for too long
Many people think that stubborn stains on dishes will be easily cleaned if they are soaked in dishwashing water for a long time. However, this will make the chemicals from the cleaning solution easily penetrate into the dishes.
Especially for utensils made of materials such as bamboo or wood, once they absorb the chemicals, they cannot be thoroughly cleaned, leading to the accumulation of harmful substances that can cause diseases.
