There I said it, here&#8217;s my life hack for the method I use that should make you think why use a dishwasher?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I prefer this method, simply because I live alone, this is the approach that I use. It works for me. I live alone, but I have a habit of grabbiing a new piece of kitchenware rather than wash the last. I then just tend to wash everything all together, the end result being I ended up developing my own pattern for doing things which gives me free time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do actually wash dishes individually from time to time. I just get distracted a lot, and prefer to grab a new one from the cupboard than to clean an old one to reuse it. Don&#8217;t ask me why, just seems a pointless idea. If I only owned 1 dish, 1 cup etc then I&#8217;d be forced to wash them all the time. Maybe adopting a minimalist lifestyle would work for me, but this is the approach I use and I&#8217;m fine with it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I can find a way of doing something quicker, I will. Lazy people find the most efficient way of doing things, it&#8217;s a fact. We will figure out a fast way of doing something so we can spend more time being lazy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s my Life Hack. Which is the reason I rarely use a dishwasher, firstly it takes forever, secondly, it&#8217;s more expensive. Lastly, it never used to get into every nook and cranny no matter how I cleaned it. So it was a waste of time anyway. Dishwashers rely on you getting rid of the the dirty stuff on a plate so it can clean off the lighter stuff. What&#8217;s the point in that. If you&#8217;re going to clean something and replace the manual labour of it, then you should do a better job. Dishes, everyone hates them and doing them. If you love them, I think you&#8217;re a Psychopath&#8230; you weirdo you! Joking, whatever makes you happy, but I can think of other things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My time is precious to me. As a person I&#8217;m lazy, I know I am. I didn&#8217;t really develop the right mindset and mentality to clean as I go, so I&#8217;ve had to make up my own. Either that, or I just can&#8217;t be arsed doing things and just prefer doing things my own way. Which sounds more like me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, I normally do my dishes when there&#8217;s a full load. I hate doing them one at a time, that&#8217;s just the way I am. Seems a waste of effort. I used to use Dishwasher, but it&#8217;s expensive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick google search suggests a Dishwasher uses about 1.5KWh of Electricity per cycle (about 20p of Electric), you then have to factor in the tablets for materials, you&#8217;re probably looking at around 50p for every cycle. Not good.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My method that I use which makes dishwasher inefficient, and is a faster, cheaper and easier way to wash dishes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">METHOD<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Run the tap until boiling hot, plug the sink and give it a squirt of good ol&#8217; Fairy liquid for some bubble magic<\/li>\r\n<li>Chuck in a full sink of your washing inside it and leave it to sit for about an hour or so.<\/li>\r\n<li>When the water is cooler, take out the items one at a time and scrub them down\/clean them, empty sink<\/li>\r\n<li>Fill the kettle with water to the max and boil it. When the kettle is boiled, put them all back in the sink<\/li>\r\n<li>Pour boiling water over it all, and dry them off \/ put away<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it, simple!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PERKS and reasons why you should consider doing this<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Less work, all you have to do is quickly scrub them and dry them<\/li>\r\n<li>It&#8217;s faster to dry , because the boiling water is 100&#8217;c, essentially instantly dries so there&#8217;s very little to clean<\/li>\r\n<li>It frees up your time, it gives you time tocus on other chores around the home, or just reading a book<\/li>\r\n<li>It&#8217;s cheaper (a full kettle costs 2.5p to boil) and Fairy liquid about \u00a33 and lasts forever.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, this is the reason I clean this way. When you&#8217;re pressed for time, a Dishwasher might help. However it costs you more. The method I use works for me, it&#8217;s cheaper than a dishwasher, and makes me more efficient at house work<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">if you don&#8217;t use this method, that&#8217;s your choice, just a life hack to help others out<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m lazy!
