When it's his turn to do the dishes...

If the man of your household is anything like my awesome husband, it’s been so long since he last did the dishes that he can’t possibly remember how to do them. However, the excuse of doing it badly just so I won’t ask him to do it again, is not going to work. So next time it’s his turn to wash the dishes I’ve got some tips for him to wash them in an eco-friendly way.

Firstly, use hot water. This will help to cut through the grease. You will also wash your dishes more effectively, if you run a sink full of hot water and dish washing liquid. This sink should have enough water in it that the dishes can be fully submerged. Be sure to not use too much dishwashing liquid as this will hamper the cleaning process. Then fill a second sink or a tub with more hot water for rinsing.

You should always use the greenest cleaning product that you can find. Most eco-friendly cleaning products are developed not only to be easy on the environment but also easy on the people who use them. They are usually not as harsh on the skin as traditional cleaners. Make sure that your dishwashing liquid only contains plant-based surfactants. All of the dishwashing liquids made by Blendwell Chemicals only contain plant-based surfactants. You can also add vinegar to the sink that you rinse in as this will help break down the soap.

Allowing your dishes to air dry is also the most eco-friendly and safe way to dry them. When drying with a dish towel, if there are any bacteria or germs on the dish towel, these will be spread to all the dishes.
