EmeraldJewel 7

Answer 1

Wash after I eat

Answer 2

For as long as they need to be there.

Answer 3

Soak and rinse right away, then put them in the dishwasher.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

No longer than 12 hours.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

Depends on how long it takes to find a buyer for a house with a sink full of dirty dishes...

Answer 9

Not that long-dishwashers are a wonderful thing.

Answer 10

I might be able to last about 17 minutes before I wash them.

Answer 11

Mine don't stay too long at all, thanks to my dishwasher. I actually enjoy doing dishes.

That said, I've had friends and exes who prefer to wash them by hand, but I think they're just crazy.

Answer 12

I just finished running a new drain line. The dirty dishes have been sitting in the sink, for about a week now.

Answer 13

Until I need a clean one

Answer 14

Long enough to let my food settle and not much longer unless it is breakfast or lunch in which I wash them immediately after use.

Answer 15

They go in the dishwasher as I use them.

Answer 16

I wash my dishes after I'm done eating.

Answer 17

Until morning

Answer 18

An hour. Tops.
Leaving them any longer makes my OCD hurt.

Answer 19

We put them in the dishwasher as we use them. I like my kitchen to be clean.

Answer 20

Overnight. I'll do them in the morning when I'm in the kitchen having coffee and breakfast. Usually only a couple of plates and cups anyway.

Answer 21

I am living in Thailand and don't have a sink, but if I leave a dirty dish anywhere for over ten minutes, I'm asking for an army of almost invisble ants to emerge from the walls and take over. I've learned to add a dollop of cooking oil to my scrubbing water, which seems to repel them for several days.

Ordinary soap also seems to work, if I leave a soap film.

They also crawl over my clothing, looking for skin flakes and can sting me relentlessly if I don't the right kind of body wash, or add a few drops of cooking oil to the container.

Answer 22

1 day, any longer and I get crabby.

Answer 23

About a week normally..Tis the life of the bacholer

Answer 24

wash immediately.

Answer 25

Right into the washer with ye!
