The concept of a washing up bowl disgusts me, I don't see how things can be cleaned if you're shoving so much dirty cutlery/crockery into stagnant water and worse still if you don't rinse them in running water after scrubbing... So do some people literally take them out of the stagnant dish water and put straight on the draining board?? Wouldn't there still be greasy food residue as well as soap suds on the plates despite perhaps looking clean
I was so confused when I first came across a washing up bowl in my uni halls, I didn't know why it was there and kept taking it out
like someone else said it may be my culture but none of my family has ever used one. I have the tap running gently with hot water to wash up. If scrubbing something like a pan I will add a little water and washing up liquid but turn off the tap while giving it a good scrub before rinsing in running water. A dirty sink is never an issue because the food will always be trapped and disposed of and the sink throughly cleaned at the end.
