What a wonderful idea and organized way of washing. I like that you made your own dishwashing scrubbing cloth. Your way is really a good way of conserving watsr especially in these times of the covid pandemic wherein we need to wash our hands more often. Generation today are so wasteful and not environmental friendly. They usually just buy food disposables and throw them away. Hope you can come up with videos e.g. how to clean and disinfect during this Covid pandemic. Thank you and God bless you. By the way, watching from the Philippines! 👋

This is now my new way of washing dishes. I love that it saves on water and dish soap. I am so excited with this method. Thank you so Jill⚘️

I had a very wise mother!!! When I was three years old, she would pull a chair up to the kitchen sink, tie an apron around my waist and let me wash the dishes. I would play in the soapy water for as long as I could. My dolls got a bath, I washed my dolls clothes and the dishes for clean. I had so much fun!!! I am 71 years old now and I love doing dishes!!! Your tips are so helpful!!! Thank you so much!!!

Washing dishes by hand is my therapy. It is more enjoyable when you have a view into the great outdoors. And it’s amazing the plans you can make while letting your mind wander...and before you know it, the dishes are done and you are jotting down the notes from your self-brainstorming session.

I love learning from Jill! Learned a few things here, thank you! I'd like to share some tips of my own: 1. A bottlebrush can wash multiple utensils at once and empowers larger hands to wash cups. Oxo Bottle Brush set is great, $5 at Ross. But most any bottlebrush will do for cups. 2. Instead of putting soap directly into the dishpan, consider using a small bowl (I use a 5" stainless) to hold the soap+water. Make just enough lather for the current load. This way the soap remains at the same dilution+ you don't have to put extra soap because of expected dilution. 3. Clean a blender and make excellent lather in two steps. 1. Rinse blender with water and run blender. Repeat but with desired amount of soap+water added. 4. It's best to soap+scrub as many dishes as possible, then rinse+rack them all at once. 5. Make sure the dishes will dry properly.. Any cavities will collect water, so some items may need to be flipped. 6. If you have to choose, store the CUPS above the dishrack because it's generally easier to stack plates than cups!

Thank you Jill for making this video it was very helpful.When my daughter was young and in the Girl Scouts we took them on an overnight stay in a cabin she was the only girl who knew how to wash dishes by hand LOL

I have two of those exact buckets from the hospital. I have one with lightly soapy water and the other with rinse water.. when I am done rinsing my dishes I pour that gallon of water into a recycled milk jug and water plants with it. I do lots and lot of cooking. I love doing dishes this way and my stainless steel sink looks brand new after 13 years!

Jill, this year I will be married to my husband for 49 years and I have never owned a dishwasher. I do dishes very much like you do right down to soaking the silver ware in a mason jar or a coffee mug or a glass. And I also use a hospital pan in my big sink. I will check into the smaller bottle of dish detergent. Now what I want to know, is what yarn do you use and also is that a pattern you made up?

THANK YOU! MORE Jill cleaning videos! I know it seems like common knowledge, but A LOT of people don't know how to clean!

Reasons Why I Love This Video: 1) You say "warsh" just like my mom and gma, which instantly gives me the warm-fuzzies. 2) This is the first time I've been able to find someone else who's dealing with the single basin + plastic tub situation. 3) Everything here is common sense but you're way more patient than I am, so I'll just make my kids (who are totally old enough to already know this ferpetessake) watch this until they get sick of it and just do the dishes. What I Do Differently: Not much. I use a small plastic tub (like a shoe box) for silverware and cooking utensils. I fill that with hot soapy water and put it off to the side so that stuff can soak while I do all the other dishes. I have a regular wash tub like yours that I put in the sink for washing, and I leave the rest of the sink empty. I wash the items and put them in the empty part of the sink until they're done (or I run out of room) and then I rinse them all at once. Thanks for this!

This video makes me so happy because I love the way Jill says “warsh”. I say it that way too and my son always kind of pokes fun of me but it just sounds right to me! This is a helpful video, I typically use a brush to wash my dishes but I may have to crochet some open weave rags. Thanks Jill!

It absolutely blows my mind that people today don't know how to wash dishes. The basics always have to be taught. My kids are teens and washing dishes is something they are very skilled at. I generally start with glassware, cutlery, plates and then leave the dirtiest things till last. Great job! I really enjoyed your video, Jill.

love how you call the dish cloth a rag - mum used to do that - i have made my dish cloths from cotton string - it works out so easy - just stocking stitch casting on 40 odd stitches depending on the size needles i grab and knit about 40 rows sort of equal to the stitches cast on - making sure every row is a knit row - cast off loosely and bobs your uncle you have a dish cloth - the wilder the colour of the cotton string the better - i dont have a double sink but i do what you do with the jug and water - i have an 80 year old enamel jug for my cutlery soaking - but everything gets a soak while eating then stacked into the dishwasher if not enough i do a small hand wash in the sink - its amazing what our mothers taught us and we didnt notice - the scraping the stacking into the sink and the soaking - all second nature to us who lived before dishwashers - our dishwashers had the brand name called mum

I have five dishwashers. If my kids don't wash the dishes, I don't cook dinner.

More efficient and pre-rinsing not required. Just wash them immediately! I don’t even run a tub. Soap on a brush for each piece, wash/rinse under slow stream of very warm running water (as hot as your hands allow). I use less water than I would running a tub to wash and then rinse water. The large bottle of detergent lasts me about 1-1/2 years and each piece gets soap. I’m not creating a soapy tub of dirty water. Nothing dried on. No dishes in sink. I also put them in my dishwasher to drain, expensive drain but I rarely use the machine otherwise.

That is exactly how I do dishes!!! I really learn a lot from you, Mike, and Tawra!!! Thank you for all the help and tips that you give us. ❤️

I did rinse slightly more quickly on the video but not much more than usual. The thing is that I think you may have missed at the beginning where I said to use way less soap by putting it in a pump bottle. Part of the reason for that is not only to save money by not using as much soap but also to save time and energy rinsing and rinsing huge amounts of suds off of the dishes. There is less soap suds clinging to my dishes so I don't need to work as long and hard at rinsing. We use way too much laundry detergent, shampoo and all of those things so we have to rinse and rinse and rinse.

Simple video with so many don't understand today. Your dishpan in your sink brought back sweet memories of how my grandma always did dishes she only had a dishwasher two years out of her 93 years of life. We always had real dishes she set that pretty table and I loved washing dishes in her dish pan at Christmas time. Jill one question I have is where did you get your dish drain??? I have a fold up when I've been trying to use but it is so big and clunky and I love how small years seems to be it would actually fit under my sink. Thank you for sharing your life and encouraging others. I grew up with a single mom for a while and even when my mom remarried we lived on just simple food family time at the table and you ate what was there. I have walked most of my 39 years as a single mom some of that time married but my husband was off as I say in the wilderness.

thank you, im at college and its my first time with out a dishwasher. washing dishes was never a daily chore in my house so i never learned how to do a whole load of dishes by hand. im kind of a germophobe, and i NEVER feel like dishes i wash by hand are truly clean because sponges gross me out and i always find grease spots on everything. so i always feel like even though i work so hard, my dishes come out slightly dirty and i never want to use them. for perspective on where im at, heres what this video taught me: 1. i need to get a dishrag like that so i can wash it when it gets too dirty and not have to buy a million sponges because im obsessing about all the germs in them (i never knew thats what those tiny hand towels were for) 2. i understand the wash/rinse system so much better. that little bucket for washing is exactly what i need, i can change the water a few times and not feel wasteful 3. do the silverware first and the cookware last to avoid spreading the grease and gross water 4. i was doing dishes in the most tedious way possible i appreciate you being kind in this video, i always felt so stupid and was afraid to ask people, but you described everything without being condescending. much love

thank you for the tips, i went from having a dishwasher to not having one, and cleaning the kitchen was taking ages.. but i just need to learn better pre-curser habits to prevent me from slaving away over the sink scrubbing gunk off of dishes.

You make the best home ec. Teacher!

I enjoyed your video very much. Here is my routine: I use a rubber spatula for removing food before rinsing the items in a dishpan of water. Using a spatula prevents food from clogging up the sink drain pipe. If I can't wash them right away, I place the rinsed items into the other side of the sink. I pour the rinse water onto our potted plants and outdoor shrubs. They love all that organic matter. I also use the sink spray gun for rinsing. It doesn't use any extra water and increases the power of the spray. It also allows me to use hotter water, since my hand doesn't touch the items. When it's time to wash, I use pretty much the same dishpan method as you. I use a 3x5 thin scrubber/cloth made of nylon fibers which I get from the Dollar Tree. They come 12 to a pack and each one lasts about 2 weeks. I think they're called Scrub Buddies. They are thin enough to fit under the lip of most plastic food storage containers which is always a hassle when food gets stuck in that track. When done washing and rinsing, I place a Lysol wipe in the dish water and let the scrubber/cloth soak in the solution for a few minutes. The germicides in the Lysol wipe mingles with the water and helps disinfect the scrubber/cloth and dishpan. After about 15 minutes, I empty the dishpan and use that same Lysol wipe to clean the sink and rubber sink mat. I rinse the mat in cool water, rather than hot, which prevents mildew buildup. I then dry the sink with a dish towel and replace the dirty towel with a clean one. Approximately how much water do you think you use when rinsing the dishes before you are ready to wash them? I use about the same amount as when washing.

@grinning_owl

3 жыл бұрын

@@YeshuaKingMessiah Since I leave the sink mat in the sink all the time, it mildews faster if it's sitting on top of water droplets. If I skip disinfecting the mat after the dishes are washed (which is what I used to do), the mildew spores will invite all their cousins and have a party under the mat. It's much harder, and sometimes impossible, to remove all of it later. I would end up buying new mats, which are not cheap. I suppose I could do away with the mats all together, but I can get clumsy sometimes when I'm washing breakables.

So excited to see a video with Jill 💕. Even though it seems like we should all know how to do this, sadly we really don’t🌸

The dish rag is brilliant-just imagine how many sponges you'd save! Great for cutting down on waste too.

Really liked this one! I am doing my dishes by hand more than dishwasher these days. And, hey, it told me why my glasses would sometimes taste soapy. I have changed my strategy and actually pop them in a plastic dish pan after washing, then drain the soapy water and then do a rinse of each item. (My second sink has a broken disposal so I can't let water flow through it.)

HI, JILL! I enjoyed the video and I also try hard to conserve water while washing up! My Dad was very strict about turning off the water between items. I did however feel you didn't thoroughly rinse the soap off the dishwear (unless this is just a basic idea you are conveying). Dawn dish soap is very toxic and needs a good rinsing before it goes near your mouth. Other than that, good video for beginners learning to live on their own for the first time!!

Maybe a part rinse is good enough and also a partial wash is good enough for the video. I think one needs to wash the whole dish (even under one's hand) besides rinse the whole dish.

Thank you so much My dishwasher just doesn’t do it anymore and this helped SO MUCH

If when I start the holes are not big enough I tear it out and get a bigger needle. I know "Peaches and cream" and that is slightly thicker that I like. Will try to explain more on the video

Oh, thank you, Jill! I would love to see a video on it! I was using a #8 needle...I'll try a #10 this time! Also, do your edges "curl" when you just do straight knitting, or do you begin each row with a couple of knit stitches? Thank you for being so willing to help

Jill please keep your rags a secret and sell them. Theres no reason not to. See these young people slend 24 dollars a day on fast food. Its the honest truth. They can afford to pay you for an invention thats revolutionary. So contact as seen on tv please. After you patent that formula for those antimicrobial rags. Everyone is dying to have these money or not. If we can buy mcdoubles every day we can buy these rags.

I like to have tupperware on the bottom because it is less hard than a porcelain/stainless sink and reduces the chance of a plate breaking

I just love you so much that I actually watched this video on how to wash dishes....I could watch you all day!!!!

Jill another little tip I do, is I have a cheap $1 plastic spray bottle under my kitchen sink with a solution of 3 parts water, a small squirt of hand dishwashing soap & 1 part white vinegar. I use this when cleaning my bench tops down at the end of cleaning my dishes, on my cupboard fronts if they need a touch up & if I have a particularly dirty or greasy dish/pot/cup/mug I spray a few sprays on them prior to hand washing or popping in the dishwasher. It helps prevent any dried on build up. Thanks for a great video. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

I do the same!

This is the video I never knew I needed. I would love to learn more simple things like this.

You say wash like my grandma did with an r sound! Thank you for this video, so helpful! I've been washing dishes by hand for several years now but I haven't been doing it efficiently.

I knit my own dish cloths also. Lots of people love them!

I love watching your videos, Jill! You have so many great ideas. Keep the Nan videos coming!

That was a nice teaching, lady 🌼 I’m going to put it into practice right away. ~ I already have parts of it right, but I must admit, I need to adjust how I do the sequencing & use the dish pan instead of letting the waters run like the Niagras ! I also see a bright shine when I let my dishes air dry. 😘🌼😄🌞💋 Keep those tips coming, Mama !🌹🌷💐

Love you Jill. Can’t wait for a video on the dish rag, also a house tour would be lovely. Thank you.

This was very helpful to me, thank you!

This video has got me wondering if I'm doing my laundry right. 😃

I'm 41 and I've never had a dishwasher. I do dishes the way you do (the way my grandmother taught me) and I think this is way easier and faster.

Thank you I will be watching for the video also I ordered some of those Golden fleece cloths from chore boy thank you for all y’all do

A few weeks ago I was wondering if there was a less wasteful way to wash the dishes. Thanks for sharing. I learned some good habits.

My mom makes awesome crocheted cotton wash cloths, I love them

That's how I wash my dishes. Thank you Jill.

My mum doesn’t rinse off the soap and leaves all the washing up to dry it’s self . I’ve always thought it’s best to rinse because maybe over a long period of time you will be consuming the soap and could be a cancer risk . I don’t know if this is true but why take the risk ?

This is a video every one should watch! I’m SO glad I came across this video today!!! Thank you SO Much!!! ☺️💖🙏🏻

You are so welcome!

I wanted to find the perfect video to inspire me to do my pile of dishes. I clicked on like three of them before finding yours and yours is the one. Very nice basics and helpful comments from others as well.

I just love your comprehensive dish washing video. I learned a lot and I have been doing dishes for years and I never realize that there is actually a method to the madness. Thanks for the tips and tricks! New subbie here :)

this was awesome. have had a dishwasher all my life. with a simple dish bucket and cloth everything is sparkling clean.

I was looking for a more affordable way to wash dishes. Thank you so much!

I hand wash same way. I now have a dishwasher. ..after 22 yrs.without...standing to wash dishes hurts my back ...so I got a dishwasher...but it only uses 4 gal. I agree w/ you about hand-washing...it's sensible way to do it.

Would love to see more informative videos like this! Thank you.

Norwex products has a open weave dish cloth. I love it for the very reasons you stated.

Excellent teaching! 🙂. The only thing we did different was to start with the glasses, then the silverware. I make my own scrubbies from acrylic yarn and will change to a lighter weight yarn per your experience with your cotton cloth. I like to use the cheap washcloths from Dollar General because they are lighter weight but will make those now too from string instead of those balls of yarn sold for this purpose because...yes...they're too thick. Sometimes I wash a lot of things then rinse as we have a point of use water heater and I like to rinse in very hot water. That just works better for my situation. Otherwise I do it the same....start with a small amount of soapy water etc.

It was my job washing dishes growing up. Soon as dinner was over the pots had to be done, my sister dried. My mam is very suspicious of my dishwasher now 😆

I love this video! so many helpful tips,,, Thank you

I thought I knew how to handwash dishes, but you really taught me some useful stuff!!

Been handwashin dishes since I was little and have ALWAYS used these methods. Grew up in a large family (13kids) havnt thought about the reasons/ method in yrs it's just a habit. This vid is definitely getting bookmarked to forward to my my newly adulted /living on their own/always trying to save a penny/ friends and family that weren't "taught" how to do it. **It's one thing to be told "na just do it this other way" an something else to be shown how much be water you waste. Part of me wants to set up a grey water sink and film 2 people side by side and compare how much water waste there is..

I love your saving water technique! Thank you.

I love the way how you explained it! Great video!
