My husband tells me that I wash dishes in the weirdest way. He has never seen anybody wash dishes like I do. I learned this nifty way a couple of years ago by reading a book and it helps to save on water. I have washed dishes like this ever since.
I start with a clear sink and a clean wash cloth. I put my homemade dish soap on my wet dish cloth and a little in the sink and I wash the sink. Then I proceed to wash my rinsed off dishes. I stack them one by one in the clean sink.
When my sink is full, then I can turn on the hot water, rinse them off and set them aside to dry.
If you are lucky enough to have a split sink, you can have both sides washed and emptied, ready to use for clean dishes and rinse them all off. I suppose a lot of it depends on how often you wash your dishes. ;-)

I used to conserve water by having one sink full of wash water and one full of rinse water. But in this house we have really stinky drain plugs - they don't fit and the water won't stay in the sink. You would think I could find the correct drain plug - but nope. So I use lots of water while washing dishes now. OH! I could get a dish pan....thanks for the post, got me thinking frugally again. I just added dishpan to my grocery list.
What a cool idea! I have two sinks so I will have to do this. I found you on blog frog and am following you there and here. :) Check out my blog at http://candysfavorites.blogspot.com/ I'm a christian mom and I also love to read. :)
