It is important to always keep your kitchen clean especially when washing dishes.
Here are some of the things you should avoid when washing dishes.
1. Overloading the sink
You should not overload your sink or dishwasher with dirty utensils. This will prevent you from having the appropriate space you require to clean them. Also, make sure you do not place knives or sharp objects facing up as you might injure yourself.
2. Putting the utensils with the leftovers in the sink
Some people put dishes with leftovers in the sink. This will force you to use a lot of water and more time to get the leftovers off the plates. It is advisable to remove all the leftovers before putting your utensils in the sink or in the dishwasher.
3. Using too much detergent
You should avoid using too much detergent as it will leave residue on your utensil as well as make you use a lot of water to rinse the dishes.
4. Leaving the dishwashing sponge in the sink
Once you are done with washing your dishes, make sure you do not leave the sponge you were using to scrub the dishes inside or around the sink. They harbour bacteria and will make the cleaning area untidy and unsanitary.
