What the?

Yeah, I know...starting to see that more and more.

Hillbilly grammar and spelling.

Welcome to 2016:

some people don't like a huge ugly drying rack on their countertop and would rather dry their hand washed dishes with a towel and put them away right away.

That said, I'm too lazy to hand dry them like that. I just stack the clean dishes in the dishwasher to air dry. I rarely use my dishwasher so it's a rare occasion when there're dirty dishes in there.

Unless you have a water softner or expensive RO type water treatment system in place you'll get water spots, some people don't see them, or just don't care. No tap water will be soft enough to prevent spotting totally. I wash my Microfiber towels, then they go directly from the washing machine into a big pot of boiling water where they get further clean even softer. After that they go into my dryer then directly into an air tight bag until I use them. Where are these germs coming from? And I'm not even wiping the dishes off, I very lightly pat them dry with the towel, so there's little chance of anything smearing anything even if there was something

WTF? 😱

hah. that made me chuckle. talk about overkill!

 

[feralkid]

Someone mention overkill?

Don't worry most people who will judge you on here use shit workhorse grade terry cloth towels to dry their dishes. I use $15 double soft Adam's Polish microfiber towels for my dishes, you're method's fine, it's every bit as good as a shit towel.

I use Triple Soft Gold-Embossed Brooks Brothers Golden-Fleece-Sea-Island Cotton Towels only.

I only use them once and then Discard Them!!

I will ask the dishwasher, I mean, the fully equal in all forms female life accomplice, my Fiancee. She usually uses the machine, but she gives me shit every time i use a paper towel. Its one of our biggest regular arguments. The other is when I argue that she should not leave the light on in the basement, and then she argues that I interrupt her and dont let her give long monologues.

Its all petty. Just like this.

As you should, cotton towels are UTTER SHIT. I hope to never have to touch another cotton towel again in my life.

Someone goes antiquing. Show us your scrapbook?

 

[Rakehellion]

People actually use these still? I just wash my dishes and let them dry in the dishwasher if it's a small pile.

Boy, aren't you fancy. I guess you let your butler vacuum the Persian rug.

 

[Rakehellion]

dish racks = water spots, no thank you. Nothing more ghetto then going to someones house and getting a glass and having it covered in water spots. Reminds me of my neighbor who lets his truck air dry after he washes it. He told me "no need to towel it down, the sun does a perfect job" lol

Maybe invest in a water filter, broski.

Sure.

Anything else you want me to pull off Google for you?

A $200 contraption to save $0.00003 worth of water. I'm sold.

Welcome to 2016:

Those are awesome... if you live by yourself. Dishes for a family of 4+ on some nights... try 3 or 4 of these. We just leave it in the dishwasher, never using the drying cycle... been ok so far.

Bounty towels are a huge ripoff and drying dish's with paper towels is like throwing money in the garbage.

Bah. With a coupon, and on sale, they're a bargain. I've tried other brands, and they suck at absorbing spills. I particularly like the select a size so I can get just half a paper towel (drying hands after washing). A new paper towel is always clean. In the summer, if I'm doing something that requires fairly frequent hand washing, I'll just leave the damp paper towel on the edge of the sink, and by the time I wash again, it's dry, so I reuse it once or twice before throwing it away. At the pizza shop, bounty leaves the least amount of lint on pizza pans after we wipe them down, and works best (close tie with BJ's brand though) for oiling pans.

Blue dawn is what I use. Its a great soap.

Infusing it into paper towels sounds like an abomination.

Agreed.

I've read some of the reviews on Amazon, and a customer said that these are great to bring along on trips. Think about it. The soap is already in the paper towels. Perfect for cleaning a dirty pot quickly. Also, the towels are very durable and will hold up to a good scrubbing.

On a trip, you generally wouldn't have the luxury of a dish rack to let your dirty pot dry. So, you're going to need a roll of non-infused paper towels to dry that pot. Or, one roll of paper towels and a little trial sized container of soap, which to me, seems a more reasonable choice.

Or you can just set it overturned on the counter. You only need a dish rack for a full sink of dishes.

A simple dish rack FTW.

That one looked a bit small though.

Have an operational dishwasher for decades now we still never use for the two of us I guess.

I grew up with a dishwasher in the 70's with a dishwasher that was more trouble than it was worth, really.

Might vary with yunguns, I suppose.

Dishwashers suck. You have to rinse/prewash half the stuff, so if you're doing that, you might as well spend the extra few seconds to wash it right.

Cascade Complete helped.

Baked-on food still needs scrubbing, because without mechanical cleaning, nothing short of pressure washing with a fluorine-based acid will get rid of some of that stuff.

But just think of all the ghetto waterspots you'll have on your counter then.

My folks don't have a dishwasher 😉

An abomination, these soapy towels. I made the mistake of buying some as well. Pretty much unusable. They'll go the way of the dodo soon.
