How often do you do a load of dishes?

[SuperSpreader]

And how many ppl are in your home?

 

For me, 2 ppl and once a day. Seems excessive to me, but we cook a lot?

[CastlevaniaNut18]

2-3 times a week, depending on how much I cook. I never cook on nights I work. There’s just two of us. 

[Brian]

3 people and once a week (Sunday night).

Do you order in usually? 

 

 

[Ominous]

Every 1 or 2 days or so. Me, my wife, 3 kids. 

[TheLeon]

Never. It’s just me, and I don’t cook a lot, so I just hand wash the same few dishes all the time.

Madness. The coffee cups alone would fill a dishwasher faster than that. Working from home has increased the amount of dishes I need to do for sure.

No. We hand wash cooking utensils and pots and pans after cooking since we own less of them than normal dishes.  We only put cups, plates, bowls, and eating utensils in the dishwasher.

We don’t drink coffee. It is mainly water that we drink out of water bottles so we don’t have to refill often. We hand wash those at night.

Once every 1-2 days. Depends how much I cooked that day.

[Mr.Vic20]

4 people in the house, I do my parts so a few times a week.

Totally, the amount of drinkware we use is insane!

 

(We use a refrigerator water filter for water.)

No wonder you are always so grumpy.

True. Your mom always knew how to put a smile on my face.  

[Slug]

4 people with a frequent 5th.  We run a load every other day; every day if we're cooking large meals.  Less if we're ordering out a lot.

She brewed quite the fresh cup of Java.

I live with 8 other people. Dishes in the sink for long periods of time are not tolerated. Clean as you go. Unless we're doing a house potluck or something, then it's kind of a free for all.

[Stickey]

 

[Keyser_Soze]

Just me.

 

And you mean a load in the dishwasher? Maybe every 2 weeks.

 

Usually when I finish eating I wash off the plate and keep using it. I mainly use the dishwasher for the utensils and other stuff.

[SuperSpreader]

Wow I'm the most wasteful person here. 

 

I only order in twice a week (Thursday and Saturday) - all other meals are either meal prep from Sunday or made from scratch (at least one made from scratch per day).

Hand washing uses more water than a modern dishwasher. 

[Keyser_Soze]

People use modern dishwashers?

I know, it sucks. I haven't lived in a building built later than 1940 my entire adult life, so dishwashers have been few and far between.

[gamer.tv]

The dishwasher goes on every 1-2 days and I’ll hand wash some things daily.

If water ever becomes a problem for me to obtain I’ll keep this in consideration.

Just wait till nestle rolls in and steals all your water. Anyway, it saves money too assuming you pay for your water. 

I do but it’s cheap. Like $15 - $19 monthly 

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

I pretty much hand wash everything as it's only me and Inuk.

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I grew up in a home without a dishwasher and the dishes were always my chore to do. I hated it. 
 

I cook, so the husband gets to wash. We hand wash all pots and pans.

You get one of the ultra quiet ones?  We bought one at our old home and when we moved into our current house it was one of the first things we purchased. I don't know how anyone can deal with a load ass dishwasher if it is in any proximity to where you would try and read / watch tv / hold a normal conversation. 

[Paperclyp]

Daily, sometimes twice a day. 

 

4 people and god we are just constantly doing dishes.
