Washing Dishes

Here's one of the useful household tips from my mom. It's how to save water while washing dishes.

Just follow these seven steps everytime you wash your dishes and see the difference in your water bill:

1. Fill a basin with water.
2. Wash the dishes with the water from the basin to remove the food stains. We remove the food stains with water first because we do not want food to stick to our sponge/brush.
3. Clean the dishes with dishwashing detergent on sponge/brush.
4. Wash the basin then fill with clean water.
5. Rinse the dishes with the clean water to remove soap suds.
6. Throw the water from the basin and re-fill again with clean water.
7. Rinse the dishes a second time with the clean water.
8. Wipe the dishes and store them in the cupboard.

Happy dishwashing!
