I love watching videos about plane crashes on my old tablet when I'm cooking or rinsing (non-native here, is that right for doing a dishwasher's job by hand?).
"Washing dishes" or "doing the dishes". ๐
Thank you
Native speakers refer to it as "washing the dishes" (the full phrase). "Dishwashing" is technically correct but it's also awkward and clunky.
This was spoken from an America-centric POV. Hopefully some other countries will weigh in.
Thank you
Rinsing would just be running water on them without any soap.
You rinse before you pit in the dush washer (only if it's really bad though)
I'll join with Technology Connections in being that guy who says (in a friendly way, not condescending):
If you have to rinse your dishes ever then you're using the wrong soap, have a reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaally crappy dishwasher (like a multi decade old cheapo model that's breaking), or are loading your washer wrong. I think TCs video showing literally cooked on cheese coming off of dishes is pretty good proof that no dish out there needs rinsing.
I used to think my dishwasher couldn't handle most things without rinsing, then I realized one of my sprayers had been blocked up and i also switched to a powder soap and suddenly everything is clean as fuck without any other changes to my loading habits. This was on a model slightly cheaper than the one TC uses in his video, and was about 7 years old when I saw improvement.
This is not criticism or anything, but simply trying to spread awareness of a simple thing I know a lot of people are surprised by when I tell them. Many of us are wasting time and effort on rinsing shit that doesn't need to be, free yourselves!
Heard, thanks!
True.
I see, thanks
I use the term "hand-washing dishes".
All the other replies sound very American, it's "doing the washing up" or just "washing up"
