Do you wash dishes any differently with this virus around than you used to?

Yeah I wash like 4 times as much because my kids are home and they use every glass and piece of cutlery in the house.

Yeah! I used stand next to my wife and talk to her while she washed the dishes, but now I stand 6ft away from her.

we don't repeat glasses/mugs throughout the day, like before, and if can't go in the dishwasher, it gets a good soak in a soapy sink, then a hard scrub and thorough rinse, whereas before i'd just wash as soon as the sink was filled and without as thorough a scrubbing.

@pentacorn Yeah, I was surprised to hear about how bad it is to have dirty dishes sitting in the sink for hours on end.

@33person yeah, it's not good. i try to keep all the facilities clean at all times now, including countertops.

No. I've never owned a dishwasher - I am my own dishwasher. My household routine around food prep, cooking, cleaning, etc. has not changed one bit. I already had a big hand hygeine routine that I've always done (no - no hand sanitiser or 'hospital strength' surface cleaners) with always hand-washing before touching anything to do with food or eating.

No, I still wash some by hand and put others in the dishwasher. My wife and I have a deal, whoever doesn't cook has to do the dishes.

@MarineBob You'd better check!

Unless folk sneeze all over them why would you ??

@Picklebobble2 Only if you realized your habits before were inadequate even for normal times. For example, you shouldn't let dirty dishes sit in the sink for hours on end, even in normal times. But maybe you didn't learn that until now, and maybe you changed your habits now.
