Do you wash dishes or use a dishwasher?

[mrbizzard]

Which do you use?

[inertia4]

I have a dishwasher. I do sometimes was s dish or two by hand. But mostly I use the dishwasher.

My utility bill skyrockets when I used the dishwasher, haven't tried the new-age-ones.  I do the dishes by hand.

I would like to have a dishwasher, but It uses too much water.

I dont have a dishwasher other then my two hands, and thats what I use

[stbernard1973]

I'm the same.  No dishwasher here except my two hands and I think I actually prefer it that way.  I don't mind doing dishes in the least and I know that my dishes are getting clean and no chance of residue left on them and saves on water.

Wash the dishes.... My dishwasher is to old to work (or need some repairs)... I don't complain to much, it only takes at least 3-7 mins to wash and I make sure it's clean as a heck

I use a dishwasher for plates, cups, glasses and silverware but do my pots and plastic ware by hand. The latter take up too much space in the dishwasher and because of that it is too expensive to do them in the dishwasher.

I have a dishwasher in our current house and I have been living here for 7 years. In that time, I may have used my dishwasher 3 times! The reason I use it so infrequently is explainable. I am from England and property space is so much at a premium in England that the average kitchen space does not allow for a dishwasher. (Many people don't have Clothes Dryers either!). So I have grown up without one and now don't use it because I am so used to not having one. On occasion, when we have guests over for Thanksgiving, I am so overwhelmed with dirty pots and dishes that I recall where I left the dishwasher and use it gratefully!

I wash dishes by hand.  It is a chore I don't mind doing.  When I lived in Chicago,  I lost an apartment because my ex-husband's cousin left a greasy skillet in the oven.  When it happened, she bypassed my apartment, went upstairs to the third floor and got stuck with that family.  I saved materials in our apartment because I raised up the window.  Since that day, which occurred in February 1979, I am the person who makes sure that the dishes are done and put away because that showed me that things do happen.

We do both, but we mostly use our dishwasher.

[cathy37]

I do both.  I put all of my dishes, silverware and glasses in the dishwasher, but I wash by hand all of my pots and pans.

I have always washed dishes by hand even when I've had a dishwasher.
