What’s the longest you’ll allow dirty dishes to be in the sink?

I have 6 kids so sometimes I have no choice...we "run out" of dishes before I even realize it...so then my wife or I have to clean them unless we want to eat off the floor. 😛

@MrLizard 7 total. One with my x and my only daughter.

@MrLizard they are! Lol

what year is this?...after a while, it isn't 'dirt' but that individual who lives in your sink...best to toss it a cookie every once in a while...no longer is there an unclean knife in the sink, but an armed life form...treat accordingly.

I was going to ask what month, I think you beat me both ways. I have this vague hope that one day it will be full of nice fresh mushrooms.

When it tries to eat you, it's time to do something....

@Holysocks MORE COOKIES!

@JohnnyThorazine
Mmm....Typewriter! Nomnomnom...

Don't judge me!!??!? 😉

You won’t be judged. Wink.

I actually have a broken dishwasher right now, but I was about to start a kitchen remodel, so it's all hand washing. They might sit for a couple of days.

Zero the dish washer is where you store them.

Paper plates for you.

Lol. Overnight. I will leave the really crusted up supper dishes (pans) to soak. But the next morning, I make my coffee, sit on the porch & drink it, then go straight in and wash them. Can't stand dishes sitting.

Lol I can’t, either. I actually got annoyed by people who have dishes sitting for days at a time.

As it’s only me. I make sure dishes are washed before bed. I love waking up to a clean ordered kitchen.

I do them after dinner, if while cooking I can already sense my disdain for doing them I’ll break out the paper plates, unless I’m making soup, I hate how soup runs off the edges of a paper plate.

Hahaha! Dang plates!

I get them rinsed with hot water as soon as possiblr before residue hardens. Washing with detergent can then be delayed until next day.

Until I can’t put more dirty dishes in it.

I wash once or twice a day. I don't like looking at dirty dishes and I'm too frugal to run the dishwasher unless I have a load of dishes, which I hardly ever do.

I don't. I rinse off my dishes immediately after use and put them directly in to the dishwasher. When the dish washer is full, I run it and then unload it as soon as possible. Dirty dishes in the sink are a pet peeve of mine.

I will not leave them in the sink, If I don't get to them right away, my roommate will.

Mostly I want to wash immediately, so I try not to use many.

I wash them first thing in the morning.

I can't stand to have even one dirty dish in the sink.

I wash them in the morning after breakfast. Dry them and put them away.

If any get dirtied during the day when I see them they get washed.

After dinner, I wash them again.
I know this is more than a little obsessive, but it could be something far worse. lol

Nowadays, I wash them immediately or in the morning if it's too late.
