Brilio.net - Washing dishes is one of the unavoidable household activities and often feels tiring, especially when the pile of dirty dishes piles up after a big meal or party. The process of cleaning each plate, glass, and cutlery can take a long time and drain energy. This activity becomes even more difficult if done manually without the help of a dishwasher.
Not only is washing a lot of dishes physically tiring, it can also be an inefficient activity in terms of dish soap usage. Excessive soap usage often occurs when trying to ensure all the dishes are clean from grease and food residue. This is not only wasteful, but also has an impact on household expenses. Excessive soap use can also leave residue that requires extra rinsing.
To overcome soap exhaustion and waste, there are several strategies that can be applied. One of them is by applying a trick from Instagram user @tari_ari_aja. In one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to having a simple trick for washing a lot of dishes so that they remain dry without wasting soap.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @tari_ari_aja on Saturday (11/16), the first thing to do is rinse all the leftover food stuck to the plate or other cutlery. No need to scrub, just throw it away and rinse it first. Then collect it together in a large basin filled with water.

Next, pour dish soap onto the surface of the dirty plates in the basin. No need for too much, just pour it evenly over the entire surface. After that, add a few drops of vinegar. Then wash the plates one by one as usual.
Well, basically, vinegar is one of the important keys that will make dirty dishes cleaner. Using vinegar in the dishwashing process can make dirty dishes more abrasive even if you only use a little dishwashing soap. A number of contents in vinegar can indeed help remove stubborn stains on dirty dishes.

Vinegar contains strong acetic acid. This acid is effective in dissolving grease and food residue that is often difficult to remove with soap alone. When vinegar is added to the dishwater, the acetic acid helps break down and dissolve grease, making it easier to rinse away. In addition to cleaning, vinegar also helps remove unpleasant odors left on dishes.
Strong food odors or rotting food residue can be difficult to remove with soap alone. Vinegar with its acidic properties is able to neutralize these odors, leaving the dishes clean and fresh. Well, after washing, then rinse all the plates under running water. After that, drain until there is no water left sticking to it. That way, the plates become cleaner and drier. In addition, the plates also smell better, you know.
