I do dishes but would brather have a dishwasher

i do every one of these things naturally, I guess I'm just like grandma!

My mother did. I should say. I'm 73 now. I remember my mom used a scub borad until my dad bought her a wringer washer. She never had a dryer, always hung on the line. We had a very clean house. My mom scrub on her hands and knees. There were for of us kids.

I ,too, am a grandma. And I too keep my home neat snd tidy.

Memories of my grandma (who experienced Great Depression) never played with me stood in kitchen and did the things in video. My mom born in 1933 lived in kitchen etc. also spent a lot of time doing what is in video. I chose a balanced life, I cooked simple healthy meals from scratch for the majority of time, but my children and my grandchildren actually have memories of a lot of games, zoos,walks, drawing, swimming, cooking out, evening fires etc. I chose to be remembered as being present. Times change-the male computer generated voice didn’t glorify Grandpa’s life without weed eater, lawn service, garage door opener, remote control etc. Often we romanticize the past without remembering the cost.

This is just life in the UK. We have tiny houses. we do not have laundry rooms. tiny kitchens, means,no space for a dish washer, and ur lucky if you can fit a washing machine in your kitchen. defo no space for a dryer. so we go to the laundrette, wash dishes by hand, and put our clothes to dry on the line.

I love British TV, and noticed the washing machine in the kitchen, at first I thought that’s strange, but my laundry closet is in my main floor bathroom, it’s convenient considering how I spend a lot of time in my kitchen and everything isclose and makes the job easier.

Yep. I love my washing machine. I often hand wash delicates/silk/wool/cashmere but still pop stuff in the machine to spin (I purposely bought a basic machine that you could just 'spin', not have to put on 3 hour wash cycles -like my mum's!). But also, yes, no room for dishwasher or tumble dryer. And to be honest if it was a choice between a washing machine or a fridge, I' lose the latter! But that is also because UK = cold most of the time and you could just leave your food in the scullery or out on a ledge!

Just perfect and the older I get the more I appreciate. I just subscribed.

Are you talking about country grandma or city grandma? They are not the same grandma.

All this is a way of life . Taught by my parents and I’ve passed these beliefs to my kids and grandkids to promote social and economic well being .

On your handwashing dishes tip. As a Registered Nurse who took microbiology we did an experiment where people brought their forks from home. Some students used dishwashers, some washed by hand and the results when we streaked a plate of agar agar and incubated it for 48 hours to assess bacterial growth were: the hand washed forks results were covered with a hairy growth that filled the specimen plate. As opposed to the dishwasher forks Which had negligible or no growth. You pick.

And yet, for thousandsof years, before the invention of dish washers, the human species has managed to survive and even thrive, using the hottest water they could handle. Go figure. Not everyone had access to a dish washer, so learning the fastest, yet still safest ways to handwash dishes is still necessary today.

It has more to do with the cleanliness of the sponge used. Each student should have been given a new sponge for the experiment.

@ceejay8981 ah! That's why I only use sponges for really greasy jobs (pots, pans, etc). And it's only for used pre-rinse or pre-wash. All my dishes get a pre-rinse or pre-wash, with a sponge or dish cloth. THEN they get the actual eash using a separate dish cloth. Alk my dish ckithes get changed at tge end of each day, and my sponges get changed as doo as they start getting either tok greasy or grimy to use efficiently, OR when they start to fall apart. We no longer use a microwave in our home, so sterilizing them in the microwave is not an option.

It recycled the water...

Line drying is great when your picky landlord is too busy to snoop around. Laundry takes electricity so does cooking. Because we have the highest electricity costs in the country, it is costly to cook and using the oven is off the charts.

Grandma held a standard.She demanded and received quality and service.Shopkeepers and repairmen respected her .No floorwalker at Macy or any football field sized store ever send her wandering on a quest.She knew her budget down to the penny so salesmen had to romance her with manners,patience and a decent useful product.She had a job.She belonged to a union of housekeepers that knew their profession and held the line that we now suffer from the loss of.

@debrapaulino918 exactly! When I was younger and more fit, I ran around a hospital 8 hours a day, came home, cooked dinner, did laundry. On my days off, I did the weekly and deep cleaning g, along with itger physical activities. Now I have physical issues and can't fo all of that. I am a full-time home maker, and I break down the daily, weekly and monthly cleaning into smalm tasks per day. I also alternate between physical work and the more sedentary tasks, so that I fon't push myself tok hard. But it means that I really have to be disciplined concerning my free time and make sure I don't over-extemd them.

Fill sink with a little water and rinse residue off plates with your hand. Dump. Then refill with a little hot sudsy water and rinse by dipping it in a little water in second sink. Prewashing is key and it's simple. I use the toilet to flush the soaked pots and pans crud.

Rotating flipping mattresses regularly.....

Women have come a long ways since being a homemaker. Ladies we MUST do for OURSELVES FIRST. Too much giving to family, pets, house, yard and more domestic chores as food storage . Females, we all need to take care of OURSELVES FIRST. The days ( religion/cultures) of beig a slave at the stove, washing, etc is bringing our health down. I have recently now at 71, realized my complaints were way too much and gave me stress. I have to give myself 1/4 -1/2 mile walk in nature, daily. I wished, I did this sooner. No one appreciates what we do. Make the first step to giving your total body a gift.

Irritating that a lot of mattresses now days are one sided.

Plan meals in advance....

It uses more water to wash dishes by hand. That costs more. They dont get sterile in a hand wash. Takes more time and energy to hand wash.
