Washing dishes and dishes is a chore that housewives have to face every day. Although it is small, some wrong practices will not only “add chaos” but also easily cause waste.
Mistake 1: pile the bowls together after dinner. Greasy bowls and dishes stacked together will only cause mutual pollution and double the workload of brushing. After eating, you should classify the bowls and dishes. The ones without oil and the ones with oil should be separated. Brush the ones without oil first and then the ones with oil. In addition, the bowls for raw meat should be separated from the bowls for cooked food, fruits and vegetables, and the dishwashing cloth should also be separated. First wash the bowl for cooked food, then the bowl for raw meat.
Error 2: don’t wash the dishes in time after eating. The longer the bowl is kept, the harder it is to brush. Especially in summer, if it is put into the next meal, the food residues have been fermented and will produce a peculiar smell. Therefore, it is necessary to wash the bowl immediately when the water in the bowl is not dry, brush the pot immediately after frying, and add warm water to the bottom of the pot while it is still a little hot, so that the oil stains can be easily washed away. It should be noted that for non stick cookers, do not immediately heat the cookers with a large amount of cold water, because heat expansion and cold contraction easily damage their surface coatings.
Mistake 3: use detergent for everything. In fact, bowls and dishes for porridge and cold dishes can be cleaned with water before drying. When there was no detergent in the past, people usually used hot water and rice soup to wash dishes, which was mild and environmentally friendly. Hot water can reduce the viscosity of oil and make it easy to be washed away; The starch in rice soup and noodle soup can combine with oil to remove stickiness. If there is heavy oil stain on the bowls and chopsticks, you can wash them with alkali heated water, but alkali will hurt your skin. It is recommended to wear gloves.
Error 4: detergent is not diluted. Some people often complain that the bowls are always slippery and unclean, which is mostly because the detergent is not washed clean, which will bring adverse effects on human health. Before washing the dishes, it is recommended to add a few drops of detergent to half the bowl of water to dilute it, and then use a dishwashing cloth to dip a small amount of it each time.
Mistake 5: put away the dishes without controlling the water to dry. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, it is advisable to control the water and dry them. Do not dry them with a rag to avoid microbial propagation. If you are afraid that the iron pot will rust, you should use kitchen paper to absorb the water after washing.
In addition, it should be noted that the sink and the surrounding countertops must be cleaned after washing the dishes. Otherwise, the pool will become a perfect place for microbial cross contamination.
