HOW TO WASH THE DISHES 101.
Posted by Maane Simpas | Posted in | Posted on 2:52 PM
STEP 1: Strip the plates off of leftovers and food morsels. Place the same kinds of food in the same container. (e.g. rice with rice, soup with soup, viand with viand.)
STEP 2: INITIAL WASHING: This would moisten the utensils and would make it easier to remove the dirt. The dirt should be placed in another container (the so-called "damugan") and covered securely.
STEP 3: SOAPING. Observe the Clean-To-Dirty Method. The proper order should be:
a. glasses, cups, and drinking utensils.
b. spoons, forks, knives, silverware.
c. plates, food containers, chinawares.
WHY IS THIS SO? The glasses are the least langsa untensils, and so on.
STEP 4: FIRST BANLAW (RINSING). This is to get rid of the dirt and soap. Observe the same proper order with that in step 3.
STEP 5: FINAL BANLAW (RINSING). This is to make sure that there are no soap bubbles left from step 4.
STEP 6: Pots, frying pans and cooking utensils should be washed last.
STEP 7: After care. Make sure that the sink is clean and tidy.
IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER:
1. Excess oil used in frying COULD be reused. Place it in a separate oil container.
2. Soak cooking utensils with water and soap before washing the dishes. This would make it easier to remove the dirts that stick on the surfaces of pots and frying pans.
3. Use a wash basin ("labador") when washing the dishes to save water.
4. Keep the faucet closed when not in use.
5. Never use Scotch Brites and rough sponges when cleaning/soaping glasswares. As much as possible, use cloth and foam sponges.
6. Always rinse the sponges after use.
7. Water used every after rinsing could be used to flush the toilets.
