Stop Everything. Some People Dont Rinse the Soap Off Their Dishes!? [Title only]
I have been looking at ways to streamline my life and had the initial question of how many individual rinses (of water-trapping untensils) is necessary to get all of the significant soap off of hand-washed dishes. Do some research, I discovered that British cultures DO NOT even rinse. An old landlady from England would rinse all her soapy dishes in the same tub of water, which I thought was gross.
What say you? Do you rinse at all, and if so, how many times do you swish fresh water around a pot/pan before you put it up to dry? Does it matter. Is there any scientific recommendation?
Kids eating Tide Pods kinda shows that soap is not that poison
When washing dishes in a commercial environment with a dishwashing machine, the machine sprayed soapy hot water at high pressure, followed by a rinse cycle, followed by a drying cycle.
When working in a commercial food prep environment without a commercial dishwasher, we had three containers: the first where dirty dishes were scraped, scrubbed, and cleaned with soapy water; the second where disinfectant was applied; the third where they were rinsed in clean, soap-free water.
When I was young and single (I’m old and single now), we had a quarter car-wash in town. I’d put all my dishes in a milk crate and go wash them and my car.
Dont any of you guys and gals have a dishwasher?
I do. So for me the answer to the question is yes - thats just how dishwashers work.
You are better off going the no soap route, scrubbing them with horsetail and dipping them in boiling water to get any germs.
You gotta get rid of the residue I’m thinking. How the heck do soups & stews not interact with that?

You push start on the old whirlpool. When it stops your dishes are clean. I dont use heat drying.
I dont know of these others things you speak of. At least not for 37 years.
I learned early on in (old school) Scouting)
that failing to rinse cooking gear or serving ware (plates) would result in a bad case of “The GIs”.
Not the least bit of fun. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse in near boiling (net bag used for this) - things dry quickly. Troop stays healthy.
Rinse off the soap unless you want the runs.
Not everything is dishwasher washable. Thats my point.
Wood/bamboo utinsils most notably.
Ack!
I do the same.
My original question is how many rinse to remove all significant soap?
"Dishes are done, man!"
Movie?
That’s so gross. I always give my dishes a good rinse.
“Don’t Tell Mother The Babysitter’s Dead.”
I was shocked when I move to England (for a year) and found this to be entirely true.
My theory is that’s part of the UK’s problem—their men have ingested too many estrogen mimickers from dish soap!
When I hand wash, I rinse the dishes under running water.
What do you call a good rinse?
Im talking about concaved cavities, like a pot or pitcher. Im thinking 3 small fills with fresh water.
Yes, exactly my method.
