I never want to eat off a dirty dish! I wait to load the dishwasher.

It’s a pet peeve of mine to grab/put away dishes out of the dishwasher to realize it was dirty. It’s a gross feeling, and slightly aggravating for me.

I pile up the dishes in the sink until there’s enough for a load. This to me is the only way to guarantee the dishes in the dishwasher are 💯 clean.

I rinse off any food or sauces when putting them in the sink.

Also waiting to put them in saves space/better organization when you’re ready to load.

Doing stuff like Getting a clean/dirty magnet does not work 💯 of the time, you can forget to turn it or it can be bumped accidentally.

That also increase more water usage if you don’t know if the dishes or dirty or not and run them again.

Only con I see in my way of doing the dishes is you have dishes piling in the sink. I grew up poor and we never had a dishwasher until I moved out and was in my late 20s so that doesn’t bother me seeing dishes in the sink.
