I was unaware this needed explanation.

Right?! lol

Well she thought rinsing was optional so still a bit gay.

TIL Aussies don't rinse their dishes. This could explain how they've allowed their country to go to shit...they're all ingesting tons of soap.

Perhaps Paul Queeri can elaborate on this behavior. I blocked him though, after I got tired of his fake news/propaganda spam posts.

Not much wrong with that except the taste. I once put some dish soap in a large bottle to begin cleaing off the residues, of non-rotten orange pulp. Left the state, got back, found the bottle, took a small sip to find out what it was, said, " Oh, it's just water", drank most of it, remembered why it was there, shook it to make sure, and yes, this was water and dish soap. Absolutely zero ill effect. The only possible way to know what it was was by remembering (or if I had dropped it or something and seen "soap bubbles" by accident. Of course, "dish soap" is detergent, not soap, so actual soap would obviously be even less harmful then that. Now if they are using some other concoctions besides (just) soap, such as concoctions that contain fragranced and concoctions that contain pthlates and PFAs and stuff. Then yes, obviously they will be having problems as a result. Just like Americans and every other country does when they use such substances and then use the plates afterwards that contain the residue of these chemicals after washing and rinsing them normally.

Ok she did do the simpler method later on in the video. I was going to do a video myself showing how to do it until I saw the just rub the soap on the rag method. No need for all the doodads and extra steps.

[ - ] Prairie 4 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 12:23:37 ago (+4/-0)

And hopefully rinse after scrubbing with soapy rag. That's how I do it with liquid soap and a sponge. I never fill the sink with water, WTF?

[ - ] Gowithit 6 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 12:29:52 ago (+6/-0)

filling the sink is what was/is done if water is limited. The habit got passed down but the reason behind it was forgotten.

kind of like that one humorous anecdote about the kid who was now grown always putting the laundry basket over the turkey while cooling because its what her mother would do and then when her mom saw her doing it while she was over at the daughters house she asked why are you putting the laundry basket over the turkey? The daughter replied saying but that's how you've always done it and the mothers reponse was "but you dont have a cat".

like that but with dishes.

There's a lot of shit like that. Call it old wives tales or woman's wisdom or whatever.

America has all sorts of weird things still hanging on from the great depression. Some are rediscovering the reasons behind it. A few by choice, most by need.

[ - ] dass 2 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 16:04:49 ago (+2/-0)

Stuff Like kids closing the door when they go outside.
From the issue of letting all the heat from the fire-place out and needing to wait for the room to warm again.

[ - ] PotatoWhisperer2 1 point 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 16:25:17 ago (+1/-0)

Or to keep the bugs out before screen doors and the recent bug depopulation.

[ - ] Sector2 5 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 15:02:37 ago (+5/-0)

You fill the sink with water when you have a sink full of dishes. The hot soapy water preps the food gunk for removal.

But then you rinse the soap off of the dishes after washing because you're not a heathen.

Australians wash the dishes in a soapy water, that is OK, no need to run the water all the time. If the water gets too dirty as you continue washing, you can change it easily. HOWEVER, Australians do not have the habit of rinsing after soaping.

This was the weirdest thing back in the 70s, and it still is. WHY do they leave the soap on the dishes?

Now I've watched, and even she is leaving the soap right on the supposedly clean dishes. Are Australians soap eaters? What's going on down there???

[ - ] ButtToucha9000 2 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 14:55:15 ago (+2/-0)

Thas nasty

[ - ] ButtToucha9000 1 point 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 14:39:52 ago (+1/-0)

You need to fill the sink with water FOR DETERGENT TO WORK PROPERLY. There are science reasons not just "water conservation" although that is important too. Zoomers and millenials wash dishes so wrongly that dawn had to figure out a way to make new detergent for yall dumbass to wash your dishes right with.

[ - ] Prairie 0 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 14:48:27 ago (+0/-0)

I'm not trying to save water. Not going to fill the sink to wash a bowl and spoon. Whatever the science is, it can be accommodated without filling it up. Do you have a link about why to mix it with lots of water? It might be that other ways also fulfill the requirements.

[ - ] ButtToucha9000 2 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 14:54:32 ago (+2/-0)

Surfactants need to be diluted into water to work properly. Google "millenials wash dishes wrong"

I wonder what the cost savings add up to over a year.

[ - ] x0x7 2 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 17:03:09 ago (+2/-0)

Probably negative using her first method unless you are washing a lot of dishes. Soap is fat. She's using a lot of fat to clean off relatively little fat. If you mirrored the first method with Dawn, little squirt would knock out a ton of dishes. There is no way the economics of using large pieces of handmade soap is going to compete.

Let's put it this way. Resturants use dawn. Resturants aren't in the habit of pissing away money. If hand soap was cheaper they would be using hand soap.

Interesting. I've always heard bar soap is more cost effective but let convenient.

[ - ] Rotteuxx 2 points 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 19:08:46 ago (+2/-0)

A bar of soap will outlast quite a few liquid soap bottles and doesn't leave forever chemicals on the dishes/utensils if they don't get rinsed.

I love the Aussie accent.

[ - ] dass 1 point 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 16:09:24 ago (+1/-0)

Meh, I usually camp wash - rinse with hot water and a cloth - but for carving knifes of meat, chicken etc do i wait and use dishwashing liquid.

[ - ] o0shad0o 1 point 10 monthsJun 12, 2024 17:23:26 ago (+1/-0)

Uhm. If you do this, and I can't recommend it, make sure you use a pure soap like Ivory brand with no added perfumes or lotions. Yuck.

zest will add some zest to your next meal.

If you are doing this, I might divorce you. (Or you know, just never let any "bar soap" ever be in the house. How disgusting)
