do you like to wash your dishes right away or have a pile

[rmendoza1]

Usually I will let them pile up, but sometimes I can't stand the sight of dirty dishes in the sink or I need one of the dishes right away so I will wash them right then. My husband washes all of his dishes right after he uses them.

I like to wash dishes right away. I think a clean kitchen makes one feel like they have really accomplished their goals with cleaning tasks for the kitchen.

I usually rinse them off and put them either in the sink or the dishwater.  Most of the time I stack them in the sink along with silverware and glasses.

I like to wash dishes right away, but at times, when I feel tired or lazy, I let them pile up, and then I begin my cleaning spree.

I wait for a pile to stack up before cleaning it within the day.

I usually do it once a day before I go to bed typically.  The only exception is if I am doing a lot of baking or cooking and I need to create room in the sink for the next batch of pots, pans, etc.

Usually I wait until end of day...if there's a lot then I put in it in the dishwasher. If only got a few, then I'll wash by hand. My hubby will sometimes wash them as soon as were done eating.

Well I never like doing dishes. My husband normally does it once a day or so and I sometimes help out. But I also do a lot of other choirs that I prefer so it works out.

Can't stand the idea of leaving dirty dishes in my sink.  I wash them right away.

I have a small sink, so not many dishes can fit into it at one time. So I always try to keep it from getting filled up. Usually after I cook something I wash everything or get things loaded into the dish washer shortly after eating. Depending on what's being made though I can clean things while I'm still cooking. Most of the time though, once I've finished with a dish it gets rinsed and put directly into the dishwasher instead of the sink. I still end up with a small pile in the sink almost every day though because no one else ever bothers to put their dishes into the dishwasher, 99% of the time they either don't even bring their dishes to the sink or only make it as far as setting them NEXT TO the sink! I'm so sick of dishes (and lazy bums) that I'm ready to trash all the dishes so that they will have nothing.

Depends on what it is and what I'm doing.  If I just cooked dinner and have a dirty pan, I will generally leave it till after I finish eating so my food doesn't get cold while I'm cleaning up.  However, when I was home alone for at while, I would tend to do all my dishes when I made them cause then I didn't have a ton to wash.  I only used a few a day so it wasn't much of an issue to wash when they appeared.

I try and make it a habit to wash them right away, and will even wash as I go, while cooking.  If something comes up, or I'm sick, I'll catch up when I can.

[vicogden]

I'm with you... soak and wash at once.

[cathy37]

I wash my dishes as I cook so when I sit down to eat there is not dirty dishes in the sink.  After I eat, I rinse my dishes and put them in the dishwasher.  I don't like to have dirty dishes in the sink.

I prefer to let them soak esp. pots and pans.
