Dishing It

Okay, so I'm somehow strangely interested in cleaning order. But humour me anyway: what order do you do the dishes in?

You should always clean your glasses, cups, coffee/teapots first, this way there wouldn't be any grease wash into them!

Glasses (b/c they break easily), plates, bowls, utensils.

Well, I used to just use the dishwasher, and I have a particular way of arranging the dishes in there too (just ask my ex-roommate S), but that's another story.

I usually do this order:
- glasses/cups, because they're simple and I want to get them out of the way before the greasy stuff comes into play
- plates and bowls, because of stacking order (like kt)
- utensils, because they're not really that dirty usually, and have their own storage cup to dry
- pots, and i put them back on the stovetop (off) to dry
- cutting boards, so they stay out of the way most of the time until i've cleaned them and wiped down the counter

Anyway, most of my dishes are just cups/glasses now, and the occasional bowl.
