Bosch claim a study shows the latter is better for the environment because it uses less water but I thought the dishwashing liquid used in dishwashers was harsher.
Is there any point getting one for one person?What is environmentally friendlier - washing dishes by hand or a dishwasher?
I would think that doing dishes by hand is 'friendlier.' The dishwasher uses a great deal of electricity, usually provided by coal or other fossil fuel burning generators.
I don't think a dishwasher for one would be prudent. Too much money!What is environmentally friendlier - washing dishes by hand or a dishwasher?
Apparently the really new ones use as little water as hand washing, and you can by environmentally friendly dishwasher detergent same as you can washing up liquid. We had a small one for two of us, and to be honest we didn't use it that much. We had problem getting dinner plates that actually fitted it so for a while we had to wash up anyway, and even when we got some that fitted it took us a couple of days to fill it up, sometimes three if we'd been out to eat, and it just got really smelly really quickly. We don't use it at all now. I didn't find it saved much time, it was really noisy, the detergent and salt etc was expensive, it took ages unless you put it on a quick cycle in which case some things didn't come out clean. You also need to soak some things, and you always need to take any leftover bits of food out, you had to make sure it was stacked properly, and things like oven dishes with chicken grease on, or plastic containers, just didn't come clean at all. Having said that, I do miss the lovely clean glasses and it was handy if you had people round for dinner or at Christmas but it wasn't really worth it for 2 people so I'd assume not for one person. If you do decide to get one, don't get a Candy one. When we moved into our flat all the appliances were Candy and 3 years down the line we've had problems with every single appliance.
Use the dishwasher, but make sure it is stacked well and full. For a tip regarding liquids etc. take a look at the site below. I used it and is saves me loads of money. Tip No. 10
If you don't fill the dishwasher fully each time you are wasting money. An added advantage of the dishwasher is it usually washes cleaner than you would do by hand. Well, that's the theory anyway!
Another tip - if you stick half a lemon on one of the dishwasher spikes, it makes the whole machine and crockery small fresher.
Wash them by hand. I used to have a dishwasher and my water bill would be around $100 every three months. After it broke and I started washing them by hand my water bill is now half of what it used to be and there are four of us in our family.

Why can I put my hand in my washing machine full of water and plugged in and not get shocked?
If I did this with say-the dishwasher I'm sure I would be shocked. What safety barriers are in place here?Why can I put my hand in my washing machine full of water and plugged in and not get shocked?
The water is not in contact with the source of electricity. The electricity flows in from the power cord. The power cord is insulated, and the electricity reaches the mechanism that controls the gears/machinery of the machine that don't contact your clothing or the water. Also, the power cord is probably grounded, which means that there's a part that ';grounds'; the electricity to protect you from getting electrocuted. The water never touches anything with electricity in it. This also occurs with the dishwasher. You wouldn't be shocked if you put your hand in it while it was running. I wouldn't suggest it, though.Why can I put my hand in my washing machine full of water and plugged in and not get shocked?
Just don't take your washer or dish washer into the bath tub. Report Abuse
In either machine the water never come into contact with the electrical, other wise, the machines would short circuit, and never work again.
The reason you can't stick your hand into a dish washer full of water is because it doesn't actually fill up and it shuts off as soon as you open the door.
Well if you opened your dishwasher while it was running..... it would stop, so I suppose then you could stick your hand in it and not get shocked.
As far as the washing machine..... you really took a gamble there huh?!?!!?
what the first person said...
I suggest you NEVER carry out any kind of electrical work to your house.
Similar stupid questions:
1) Why don't you get electrocuted in a swimming pool when the pump is running?
2) Why don't you get elctrocuted in a car wash?
3) How come i get less hungry as I eat more?
The water is not coming in direct contact with live electricty, it麓s the same with the dishwasher.. there are barriers between the water and the electrical components.
Theres no electricity in the water silly. You wont get shocked in the dishwasher either. If electricity came in contact with the water in those machines the fuses in your house would blow. All the wireing is insulated.
Try throwing an electric appliance inside it that might be helpful in shocking you and leaving you with a new hairstyle.

Am I entitled to time for hand washing at work at the end of my shift?
If you are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and if shift-end hand-washing is covered by the contract, then yes.
Are you working with hazardous or dangerous chemicals or materials? Then I think probably yes, but I don't know for sure.
Otherwise, wash up before clocking out unless the boss tells ya not to. He doesn't have to pay you to wash your hands if he doesn't want to.Am I entitled to time for hand washing at work at the end of my shift?
Are you that big of an idiot? Seriously, do you expect McDonalds to pay you for the 30 seconds it took you to wash your hands? What a cheapskate. You didn't even say where you work or what you do. So, I will just assume that it's McDonalds and that you need to wash the burger juice off. I'm sure that if you wash your hands, and then clock out, nobody is going to complain about the extra four cents you just earned. Am I entitled to time for hand washing at work at the end of my shift?
Don't know why this is in the boat section, but here goes!
Of course! Once your shift ends, you are on your own time. If the company will allow you to use their facilities while you are ';off the clock'; then you may wash your hands!
I bet you stretch your paid break times out by 5 to 10 minutes as well. Quit being a crybaby and do the job you agreed to when you were hired!
When I was young and starting my first job. My dad gave me this advice: Always do more than is expected of you. Be the best worker you can be and take time on your own to learn more and strive to be an excellent value for your employer. You will earn promotions, will get hours even if they are scarce, and you will enjoy your work. He was right. I worked my way up from part time clerk to a store manager to a store owner and did very well. Now you can answer your question yourself. Right?
I presume that you work in a boat yard -- before you go to work - sneak some soap in your pocket and just before you clock off - fall in the water and have a quick wash - you might even get paid for it.
If you do a job that makes your hands dirty it would seem like courtesy to allow you to wash your hands. They also have a responsibility for general health and welfare including hygiene - so yes!
If your employer is THAT tight with time, look for a job where people are treated like human beings and not as cattle to be fed upon.
No, just because I'm Union and it is in my contract,
any less inclined toward organized labor suffer more.

What gets your dishes cleaner? Hand washing or dish washers?
Id Have To Say Hand Washing!What gets your dishes cleaner? Hand washing or dish washers?
Dish washer I hate doing dishes!What gets your dishes cleaner? Hand washing or dish washers?
Cleaner, dishwasher.....but I get more water spotting. I now only hand wash and hand dry glass and silverware.
By hand is good . I think once your diswasher is old ,it doesnt work as well . Less electric washing by hand .
An automatic electric dishwasher is great only if it is a well made one. I recommend names like Miele, Ariston, Siemens, G.E., and Asko.
However nothing cleans pots and pans with dried on food like washing and soaking by hand. Also, dishes soiled with heavy protein based molecules such as egg, banana, etc.. don鈥檛 do well in dishwashers. Everything else is good to go! I wouldn鈥檛 be without and electric dishwasher. I think they are one of 1st world living鈥檚 most under-appreciated inventions and conveniences.
The main reason for having an electric dishwasher is that they are great step savers and save a lot of time in the kitchen. They help make cleaning up the kitchen鈥攁 breeeze. An automatic electric dishwasher allows you to hide your dirty dishes until you鈥檙e ready to clean them as opposed to leaving the mess all over the kitchen counter and in the sink---ewww
Dishwashers are also much more frugal with their use of water than you can be at the kitchen sink. People tend to let their faucets run continuously when they wash dishes by hand which wastes a lot of water. At the sink people rinse each dish individually. This causes much more consumption of water than an electric dishwasher consumes. An electric dishwasher can wash and rinse 7 times as many dishes as you could wash by hand with about 7 gallons of water or less. Try doing that at your kitchen sink; I鈥檒l bet you can鈥檛.
Automatic electric dishwashers are also better at sanitizing dishware. They wash dishes with 150 degree water and detergent that contains bleach and sodium hydroxide. Try putting your hand in 150 degree water for 15 minutes and see what happens. This may be good if you鈥檙e concerned about the spread of flu or cold germs, or if you鈥檙e taking care of someone who is ill in your house.
Get an electric dishwasher; you鈥檒l be glad you did. But if you get one, get a good one, don鈥檛 skimp on quality, otherwise you鈥檒l be sorry.
I use any type of soap powder with any type of clorax
hand washing
the dishwasher because the water gets hotter than when you wash the dishes by hand.
With a family of 4 I choose to hand wash my dishes as I cook and I only run my dishwasher once a week. It saves on electric and water. I have found that either way works, just depends on your choice of time or saving your utilities.
Dishwashing because the water can reach higher temps for sanitizing your dishes.
Absolutely hand washing! It also uses a lot less electricity too. When hand washing dishes put about a capful of Javex in your water.It will regularly keep stains at bay.
i am a sucker for the dishwasher, but i think maybe hand washing would be better
i always use my dishwasher and my dishes are always clean, but have to deal with water spots on some glasses and silverware
I'd say hand washing because they get it cleaner,sometimes brighter.
It's the combo! I prewash my dishes, just to get stick on food off, then use the dishwasher. Some people would say, why do you do this if you already washed them? Because I know the dishwasher gets any spot I forgot and of course, sanitizes them. Germ free!
hand washing
dishwashers -- the water is much hotter. But you have to have a soap that doesn't leave a film if you have hard water. and you must not overcrowd the dishwasher. Don't put things in with tons of crude on them either, like loads of chocolate cake crumbs. You get sanitized dishes with grungy bits of cake on them.
I prefer handwashing. Dishwasher suck. You have too prerinse anyways. Might as well finish the job.

Dishwashers do clean awhole lot better. We purchased a black light for finding bacteria (have a cleaning business). Checked the dishes that I washed by hand and those that I ran through the dishwasher. The hand washed dishes had bacteria, those that ran through the dishwasher did not.

Can u prevent health risks by washing your hand after fingering?
Ok so the girl i fingered doesn't have stds but even if she did, like i did it with one finger right and i washed my with liquid soap afterwards so there shouldn't be any problem right? Please explain why because I need a reason to believe.Can u prevent health risks by washing your hand after fingering?
First off you should wash your hands before you finger a girl so she doesnt get an infection from your dirty hands. whether they are visibly dirty or not. And for your question yes you could be preventing yourself from getting ANYTHING she may have if you wash your hands after.. If she had herpes or anything and you fingered her and then touched your mouth or your penis you could get it that way- although chances are slimmer/ Just wash your hands before and afterCan u prevent health risks by washing your hand after fingering?
STDs are not transmitted through fingering.
Still wash your hands though. It's the right thing to do lol
You should also wash your hands before fingering a female as to not cause bacterial problems for her.
Whenever you touch the genital area, or the rear of anyone, including your own, you should wash your hands in hot, soapy water. This is to prevent the spread of possibly harmful bacteria.
You know that after you have been to the bathroom, you naturally wash your hands, so this applies also.

I just fingering a prostitute after that i eat some starters without washing my hand are their chances of aids?
2-3 days ago i meet a prostitute, i just sitting with her %26amp; drinking a beer with some starters, i just done one mistake i just touched her vagina with my finger %26amp; after that i eat starters without washing my hands. Do i have chances of aids or hiv. i am very scared of it. What can i do .I just fingering a prostitute after that i eat some starters without washing my hand are their chances of aids?
Hehe. No! No way you could catch HIV just touching HIV+ person! Even if it was 'down there'.
You should inform better on HIV transmission. Only fluid exchange can lead to infection. Sex, blood exchange.... Even unsafe sex not necessarily leads to infection, but i wouldnt play with that.
So, don't worry, you're 100% not infected!I just fingering a prostitute after that i eat some starters without washing my hand are their chances of aids?
Not likely, I doubt a prostitute gets aroused and therefore you didn't make her wet so no vaginal fluid got onto your finger.
wat starters? and i doubt it but u shouldnt eat with dirty hands..sumthin im werkin at myself

What is the best method of hand washing and drying for food factory workers?
I work in the office of a food manufacturer, they are very meticulous about cleanliness. Their hand washing method before and after entering the factory consists of a large stainless steel trough-like sink close to the entrance/exit doors. Above each sink are three soap dispensers each containing hand scrub, disinfectant soap and moisturising soap. There is a lever positioned in line with the taps underneath the sink. This controls the water flow and worked by pressing with the knee.
To avoid contamination no part of the sink is touched by the hands. The procedure on entering and leaving the factory is to wash hands and wrists with the soap scrub first and rinse, second to wash with the disinfectant soap and rinse, then finally to wash with the moisturising soap and rinse. Paper towels and electric hand dryers are used to dry the hands. Hair nets, hats and sterile overalls are also worn.What is the best method of hand washing and drying for food factory workers?
I go with angel1902!!
I would also point out that in the UK do not use nailbrushes as the HSE will point this out and advise against it as they too can harbour germs!What is the best method of hand washing and drying for food factory workers?
warm electric fan
The taps are not touched, they work by a sensor which switches on the water. The hands are washed in hot water,then wiped using dispensed paper towels which are disposed of in a foot operated pedal bin.
Alcohol gel is then rubbed into the hands This must be done before entering and exiting the food production area.
In strict factories they will take a swab from your hands, for analyses to the micro- biology lab.
The answer is obvious, there as to be hot water and soap and then paper towels to wipe your hands on. The waste basket should be placed outside the toilet area as germs are spread via door handles. The roller towels are useless as they harbour germs, and the heated hand dryers just recycle all the airborne germs.
They have to wash their hands for 30 seconds under hot water with soap, thoroughly rinse, and dry. Easiest way is to sing the Happy Birthday song while washing.
Don't know, when u do find out do tell me
I have worked food service for many years. The correct method in the state of Illinois is......
Dispense paper towel from roll. Leave on dispenser. Turn on your warm water. Get hands and arms (halfway to elbow) wet. Lather with soap. Use nail brush to clean nails. Scrub hands and arms for 30 seconds or more. Rinse. Leave water running. Pull towel from dispenser and dry hands. Use towel to turn off faucet and open door if there is a door. Throw away towel.
Chefgrill is right on the Happy Birthday song. If you sing it while scrubbing you know you have scrubbed the proper amount of time.
If everybody knew how to wash their hands properly we wouldn't have e-coli in our spinach.
In addition to what the other folks have said, it would be a good idea to have anti-bacterial hand wipes available in the work area.

Why is hand washing a health issue?
Hand washing among health care workers has critical implications for the spread of germs and disease in hospitals and other health care settings. Many studies that attempt to measure the extent of hand washing use the observational method of research.Why is hand washing a health issue?
Because during the day we touch so many things on the germs go on our hands. It is very disgusting if you don't. As I'm typing this, there are probably germs going on to my hands. Got to go wash my hands!Why is hand washing a health issue?
GERMS
First off all, it's gross if you don't. Think about it: you go to the bathroom in a public restroom, flush the slightly wet handle, open the door... and then you leave without washing your hands and eat a sandwich. One of the most common traces found on bus poles (for standing and holding on too) is feces. I personally don't want to have traces of that on my hand and then bite my nails or eat something.
Second, it spreads germs like colds (rubbing your nose, touching something, sneezing), sometimes it can be serious viruses that spread through germs. However one huge mistake people are doing now a days is giving 2 year olds hand sanitizers. It's preventing them from building up immunity, which is a critical age in building immunity.
Health care workers especially should wash their hands. They could go from a room where someone is vomiting, get traces of the vomit on their hands, and then touch another patient who has cancer and has very bad immunity.
I do not consider hand washing a health issue, just good hygiene. Our hands come into contact with things in the environment every second of the day and it is critical to our health that we wash our hands before we put anything into our mouths, rub our eyes, etc. Health care workers therefore, have a responsibility to patients to be hygienic and to sanitize the exposed parts of their body when they have to treat patients, especially in surgery. Imagine a scenario where a health worker had shook hands with a person who has just left the lavatory without washing his hands. The health worker immediately goes to the nursery to tend to a newborn baby and held the baby's little fingers, later the baby puts his fingers to his mouth and sucks it, can you see how germs can be transported to a third party, which can cause problems? In this case the baby, whose immune system is at a fragile state.option arm

Second, it spreads germs like colds (rubbing your nose, touching something, sneezing), sometimes it can be serious viruses that spread through germs. However one huge mistake people are doing now a days is giving 2 year olds hand sanitizers. It's preventing them from building up immunity, which is a critical age in building immunity.
Health care workers especially should wash their hands. They could go from a room where someone is vomiting, get traces of the vomit on their hands, and then touch another patient who has cancer and has very bad immunity.
I do not consider hand washing a health issue, just good hygiene. Our hands come into contact with things in the environment every second of the day and it is critical to our health that we wash our hands before we put anything into our mouths, rub our eyes, etc. Health care workers therefore, have a responsibility to patients to be hygienic and to sanitize the exposed parts of their body when they have to treat patients, especially in surgery. Imagine a scenario where a health worker had shook hands with a person who has just left the lavatory without washing his hands. The health worker immediately goes to the nursery to tend to a newborn baby and held the baby's little fingers, later the baby puts his fingers to his mouth and sucks it, can you see how germs can be transported to a third party, which can cause problems? In this case the baby, whose immune system is at a fragile state.
Where can i find a hand washing soap with dye in it that stays on the hand until you was it off 20 seconds?
I SAW THIS ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA A HAND WASHING SOAP THAT PUTS A DROP OF DYE ON YOUR HAND AND REMAINS THERE UNTILL YOU WASH IT OFF. IT TAKES ABOUT 20 SECONDS TO REMOVE. I CAN'T FIND IT DOES ANYONE KNOW?Where can i find a hand washing soap with dye in it that stays on the hand until you was it off 20 seconds?
it is an interesting concept indeed, what about just standing there on the sink with the regular soap lather for 20 seconds! I do that quite a bit, I just count to 20 or 30, good luck

What uses more water, dishwater or washing by hand?
well i have done both, so i can tell you that for me washing in a dish washer uses more water and also a lot of electric, dont like the dishwasher, spend more time loading and unloading it than you do just washing and putting them away,What uses more water, dishwater or washing by hand?
Studies show washing by hand uses far more water, but I'd like to know how those dishes were being washed by hand. I've always done my by hand and have developed water thrifty methods. For example, letting water run is a no-no. Use a dish pan for soapy water or only fill the sink with an inch of soapy water. If you have a spray attachment you can spray rinse at one time instead of individual items.What uses more water, dishwater or washing by hand?
Like most, I would have said a dishwasher used more water. However. . . . just in the last couple of weeks, was watching ';Living With Ed'; (Ed Begley, Jr.) on HGTV. He commented on the studies about hand washing dishes using more water (he was surprised too).
If you fill the sink then turn the water off, only turning it back on to rinse, hand washing will use less water. If you leave the water running the whole time, a dishwasher may use less (depending on the amount of dishes)
definitely a dishwasher, i have done a-lot of washing and definitly the dishwasher, try it, one month use only dishwasher, the next use ony handwash, see the diff. in price
probably a dishwasher

Is a dishwasher really less environmentally friendly than washing by hand?
I know a few ppl who pride themselves on living w/o a dishwasher. Supposedly, it saves water/energy.
Let's say I take off all the extra-special heat settings, and just let my dishwasher run the normal cycle, but full of dishes.
Does that really take up more water than by hand? I say, running your faucet for 15-20 minutes straight would take up more water than the machine.
Are there any studies that conclusively show, one way or the other? Why is this so often repeated? How can dishwashers be so bad when they make me so happy?Is a dishwasher really less environmentally friendly than washing by hand?
We have 5 children and by the time I would wash all of our dishes just from dinner, with the water running non-stop and all the soap I would use, nope I use less water with a dish washer. I can almost guarantee it.Is a dishwasher really less environmentally friendly than washing by hand?
Used correctly, a dishwasher uses less water. Generally because you use it much less than hand washing. People have this perception that, just because it saves you time, it must be less economical. On average, a dishwasher uses between 8-12 gallons of water, once every few days. Hand washing uses about 20 gallons (including rinsing) every day.
Seems fairly obvious to me.
Here is a site for info.
Comparing the efficiency of automatic dishwashers and hand-washing of dishes is difficult because hand-washing techniques vary drastically by individual. At least one privately funded, non-peer-reviewed study concludes that automatic dishwashers when fully loaded use less water than even the most efficient hand-washers, while relative energy use depends on hand-washing technique and number of place settings washed per load (a smaller load still favours hand washing)[9] The study does not address costs associated with the manufacture and disposal of dishwashers or the cost of possible accelerated wear of dishes from the chemical harshness of dishwasher detergent.
Many people are sceptical of these claims, and one private individual has shown that dishwashers are comparable to efficient hand-washing in water usage;[10] however this small-scale study did not include any measurements of other environmental impact.
A dishwasher uses less water than hand washing. The average dishwasher uses between 9-12 gal of water per load, new ones as little as 7gal. Hand washing uses about 20 gal. Yes there have many been studies do document this. They are not bad. If you want to save more money don't use the heated dry. I love my dishwasher too. I don't see any virtue in washing dishes by hand.
I am incredibly skeptical of these studies that ';prove'; using a dishwasher is more efficient than hand washing. Most of them quote something in the range of 20+ litres of water used when washing by hand, but what I haven't seen discussed in this forum is the fact that this number is often derived by calculating the amount of water used if you're leaving the faucet running the ENTIRE time you're washing your dishes.
The fact is, I don't know anyone who does this. Most people (as far as I know) when hand-washing, myself included, fill one side of the sink with warm, soapy water, and use the other side to rinse the dishes they have already scrubbed. This means, at least when I do dishes, that the water is only actually running for as long as it takes me to fill the soapy side of the sink (that's what, four or five litres?), and intermittently to quickly rinse the stack of already washed dishes in the other side of the sink. Even assuming this uses four or five litres of water, I'm still only at 8 to 10 litres (but I'm pretty sure I use way less than this!). Leaving the water running the entire time while doing dishes is silly and just seems intentionally wasteful to me.
Also, once my dishes are rinsed by hand, they go into a dish rack where they are allowed to either air dry, or I dry them by hand with a cloth dishtowel. Even on the most energy efficient setting for a dishwasher, some amount of energy must be used to dry those dishes--even if it's not hot air, some air must be circulated through there. So, there's zero electrical energy being used to dry my dishes compared to at least some amount being used by a dishwasher.
So, while I'm no expert, I'd have to say that it sure seems to me that handwashing dishes must be more resource-efficient than using a dishwasher. I've also seen studies conducted that state that ';individual styles'; of handwashing make it hard to obtain an actual estimated average resource usage.
All of which leads me to ask, who's conducting these studies praising the efficiency of dishwashers? I've read them all, too. I can come up with two reasons: (1) these studies are largely being preformed by groups that have something to benefit by people actually using their dishwashers (e.g., dishwasher manufacturers), or (2) these studies have been unintentionally biased by human purpose; i.e., the expected or desired outcome is that dishwashers are more efficient, so we can all feel better about not doing our dishes manually, so the results of the studies--or the research methods themselves--lend themselves to this conclusion, whether this is accurate or not.
But who am I to say?
If your happy so be it.
Hope you're at least running a full washer and not just so you don't have to stand at the sink. I think studies would be on full loads being sound judgement.

Why does washing your hand with hot water clean them better than washing your hands with cold water?
Well, why does it? Just curious.Why does washing your hand with hot water clean them better than washing your hands with cold water?
Hot water of 140 F aides in the killing of bacteria... its kinda like cooking. You cook Fish to 140, Meat to 155 and chicken to 160F. Bacteria grows between the temps of 41F and 139F. Also, on a side note hot water build lather with soap more than cold. The important thing is to rinse your hands with water as hot as you can stand.
Hope this answers your question... good luck and keep that helmet of yours on tight so you don't bang your head!Why does washing your hand with hot water clean them better than washing your hands with cold water?
hot water kills the germs:)
hot water kills germs better than cold it also helps the soap dissolve any kind of grease or oil you may have associated with the dirt on your hands....thats why you wash you dishes in hot water it cuts grease
Heat breaks down the skin oils faster.
TFTP
The heat kills the bacteria on your hands, cold water wouldn't do that
Becuase the hot water sterilizes
I think because HOT water along with soap kills the bacteria better than COLD water - but now that I think about it bacteria grows %26amp; thrives in HEAT and dwindles in COLD. so it could be that we just use hot water cuz it feels better on our hands? Ya think???? LOL

Anyone ever heard of not rinsing dishes after hand-washing them?
when i dated a guy in high school, his family would wash the dishes, without rinsing them. they would go directly to the wash, then, they would dry them and put them away. i found it to be gross and would refuse to eat there stating that i was never hungry. these people were well off and definitely not poor. i just can't understand not rinsing the dishes after they had been washed. any comments on this mystery?Anyone ever heard of not rinsing dishes after hand-washing them?
Thats ridiculous, if you have washed your dishes in hot water and left them to dry naturally whats the problem?
As somebody else said, I am living in a drought and cannot afford to waste precious water rinsing a few bubbles away.Anyone ever heard of not rinsing dishes after hand-washing them?
No - definitely not a good idea. Any soap and especially grease remaining on the dishes could give anyone stomach cramps next time those dishes are used.
Rinse dishes and silverware with lots of hot water after washing to remove ALL of the soap. The rinse water should be as hot as possible - wear gloves if necessary.
(I hope you stopped dating this guy and visiting with his family.)
I have a single sink, so I have nothing to rinse my dishes in after washing them. I pride myself on cleaniness in my home. I do leave my dishes to drain. But as long as they are washed in hot water they do not pose any safety risk at all.
We are living in drought conditions, so saving water is so important.
We are not poor and my home is clean and tidy.
There are more things in life to pose any risk to someone else. It is just what you are used to.
If they were drying them on a clean cloth then any residue would be removed. The detergent is well diluted in the water and I have never, ever heard of anyone being made ill because they did not rinse their dishes.
Some dish soaps do not have to be rinsed off but they are made from all natural ingredients. Most regular dish soaps if not rinsed off will give you diarreaha. Don't be afraid to ask why they don't rinse their dishes.
Wouldnt the dishes taste like soap then? Thats kind of gross, i always rinse afterwards. Maybe they just felt like it was a waste of time to rinse, although I dont know why!
thats downright nasty.
Just get the soap off. Nothing to waste water.

Is washing clothes by hand the same as using the delicate cycle of a washing machine?
and when clothes say warm wash, what if you use cold wash instead.. does it not wash properly?Is washing clothes by hand the same as using the delicate cycle of a washing machine?
Washing clothes by hand is not the same as the delicate cycle on a washing machine. Delicate is delicate but its not as safe as washing by hand.
You can wash clothes in cold water that say warm wash - it will not hurt anything.Is washing clothes by hand the same as using the delicate cycle of a washing machine?
No, washing clothes by hand is not the same as using the delicate cycle of a washing machine. A washing machine, is still a machine, and is not going to be as careful with clothes as you. It cannot detect studs on a shirt or jeans, or delicate material.
If clothes say wash warm, it would be better if you did that, but using cold wash won't really affect it. The clothes will still be clean in the end.
It's not the same but I wash all my hand washables in the delicate cycle of the washer and have never had a problem. As far as the warm verses cold. The warm may wash a little better but not enough to make that much of a difference. I wash most things in cold just for the energy savings.option arm

Is it true that using the dishwasher uses less water than washing by hand?
It depends if you try to conserve water when washing by hand.Is it true that using the dishwasher uses less water than washing by hand?
Yes, if you run a full load of dishes.
Conserving water when washing by hand usually means ';rinsing'; the dishes in a sink full of standing water. I put ';rinsing'; in quotes because doing this is an excellent way to keep your dishes constantly filthy and coated in noxious bacteria. The first dish you rinse off leaves soap, food particles, and bacteria in the rinse water; the crap you rinse off every dish will be deposited on every dish after that. (If there weren't crap to rinse off, you wouldn't have to rinse. And yes, soap is dirt and can carry bacteria.)
For safety's sake you must always rinse in copious hot RUNNING water when washing by hand, and *that* is what causes handwashing to use up so much water.Is it true that using the dishwasher uses less water than washing by hand?
Yes, definitely.
Washing by hand requires each dish to be washed individually whereas dishwashers are designed to be efficient and can clean everything in one cycle.
electricity is a different story....

Dishwasher or Hand washing?
Do you prefer handwashing the dishes or using the dishwasher?Dishwasher or Hand washing?
That depends entirely on how many dishes there are. If there is a sink full, the dishwasher is my best friend. If there are only a few, it's just as easy to do them by hand and put them away. Of course, if my significant other is in the mood for some bubble play, I'll wash dishes all night long....Dishwasher or Hand washing?
dishwasher if I had one but handwashing it will be.
i think the dishwasher is pretty convenient, but my experiences with them haven't been the best.
for example, when i take out the dishes, i always feel that they're not fully clean, so i put them back in to wash a second time. i know, it's anal, but i've seen residue on washed dishes. so i prefer hand washing if i have the time. that way, i KNOW the dishes are clean =]
Dishwasher because its more sanitary.
That's a no-brainer. Dishwasher.
Hand washing, don't have a dishwasher, I've been to houses where they don't get the dishes very clean wouldn't want one.
Always hand washing, better!!!
since i don't have a dishwasher, i'd love one!!!
Dishwasher is more conveinant definatly! Great when you got a lot of dishes in your sink that need washing! With a dishwasher the water thats used is hotter also, which is better for cleaning the dishes. Thats especially good for baby bottles and silverware. Its just more sanitary. But i do prefer to wash plastic cups by hand cuz in the dishwasher they dont stay put sometimes. Some things cant go in the dishwasher and for those things handwashing is the only way to go.
I have a dishwasher and rarely use it. I like to clean the dishes by hand so I know they are clean.
Well, I PREFER usint the dishwasher, but some dishes don't fit or aren't safe to put in the dishwasher...
Handwash a few
Dishwasher for quite a few
I handwash but if I had a dishwasher I would use it because it gets the dishes more clean because it uses such hot water, hotter water then you can touch.

Am I entitled to time for hand washing at work at the end of my shift?
If you are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and if shift-end hand-washing is covered by the contract, then yes.
Are you working with hazardous or dangerous chemicals or materials? Then I think probably yes, but I don't know for sure.
Otherwise, wash up before clocking out unless the boss tells ya not to. He doesn't have to pay you to wash your hands if he doesn't want to.Am I entitled to time for hand washing at work at the end of my shift?
Are you that big of an idiot? Seriously, do you expect McDonalds to pay you for the 30 seconds it took you to wash your hands? What a cheapskate. You didn't even say where you work or what you do. So, I will just assume that it's McDonalds and that you need to wash the burger juice off. I'm sure that if you wash your hands, and then clock out, nobody is going to complain about the extra four cents you just earned. Am I entitled to time for hand washing at work at the end of my shift?
Don't know why this is in the boat section, but here goes!
Of course! Once your shift ends, you are on your own time. If the company will allow you to use their facilities while you are ';off the clock'; then you may wash your hands!
I bet you stretch your paid break times out by 5 to 10 minutes as well. Quit being a crybaby and do the job you agreed to when you were hired!
When I was young and starting my first job. My dad gave me this advice: Always do more than is expected of you. Be the best worker you can be and take time on your own to learn more and strive to be an excellent value for your employer. You will earn promotions, will get hours even if they are scarce, and you will enjoy your work. He was right. I worked my way up from part time clerk to a store manager to a store owner and did very well. Now you can answer your question yourself. Right?
I presume that you work in a boat yard -- before you go to work - sneak some soap in your pocket and just before you clock off - fall in the water and have a quick wash - you might even get paid for it.
If you do a job that makes your hands dirty it would seem like courtesy to allow you to wash your hands. They also have a responsibility for general health and welfare including hygiene - so yes!
If your employer is THAT tight with time, look for a job where people are treated like human beings and not as cattle to be fed upon.
No, just because I'm Union and it is in my contract,
any less inclined toward organized labor suffer more.

yes 15 minutes
I was told we were allowed by law 5 minutes....

Am I entitled to time for hand washing at work at the end of my shift?
Don't know why this is in the boat section, but here goes!
Of course! Once your shift ends, you are on your own time. If the company will allow you to use their facilities while you are ';off the clock'; then you may wash your hands!
I bet you stretch your paid break times out by 5 to 10 minutes as well. Quit being a crybaby and do the job you agreed to when you were hired!
When I was young and starting my first job. My dad gave me this advice: Always do more than is expected of you. Be the best worker you can be and take time on your own to learn more and strive to be an excellent value for your employer. You will earn promotions, will get hours even if they are scarce, and you will enjoy your work. He was right. I worked my way up from part time clerk to a store manager to a store owner and did very well. Now you can answer your question yourself. Right?
I presume that you work in a boat yard -- before you go to work - sneak some soap in your pocket and just before you clock off - fall in the water and have a quick wash - you might even get paid for it.
If you do a job that makes your hands dirty it would seem like courtesy to allow you to wash your hands. They also have a responsibility for general health and welfare including hygiene - so yes!
If your employer is THAT tight with time, look for a job where people are treated like human beings and not as cattle to be fed upon.
No, just because I'm Union and it is in my contract,
any less inclined toward organized labor suffer more.
Obama voter
yes 15 minutes
I was told we were allowed by law 5 minutes....

Can u prevent health risks by washing your hand after fingering?
Ok so the girl i fingered doesn't have stds but even if she did, like i did it with one finger right and i washed my with liquid soap afterwards so there shouldn't be any problem right? Please explain why because I need a reason to believe.Can u prevent health risks by washing your hand after fingering?
STDs are not transmitted through fingering.
Still wash your hands though. It's the right thing to do lolCan u prevent health risks by washing your hand after fingering?
You should also wash your hands before fingering a female as to not cause bacterial problems for her.
Whenever you touch the genital area, or the rear of anyone, including your own, you should wash your hands in hot, soapy water. This is to prevent the spread of possibly harmful bacteria.
You know that after you have been to the bathroom, you naturally wash your hands, so this applies also.
First off you should wash your hands before you finger a girl so she doesnt get an infection from your dirty hands. whether they are visibly dirty or not. And for your question yes you could be preventing yourself from getting ANYTHING she may have if you wash your hands after.. If she had herpes or anything and you fingered her and then touched your mouth or your penis you could get it that way- although chances are slimmer/ Just wash your hands before and after

I just fingering a prostitute after that i eat some starters without washing my hand are their chances of aids?
2-3 days ago i meet a prostitute, i just sitting with her %26amp; drinking a beer with some starters, i just done one mistake i just touched her vagina with my finger %26amp; after that i eat starters without washing my hands. Do i have chances of aids or hiv. i am very scared of it. What can i do .I just fingering a prostitute after that i eat some starters without washing my hand are their chances of aids?
Hehe. No! No way you could catch HIV just touching HIV+ person! Even if it was 'down there'.
You should inform better on HIV transmission. Only fluid exchange can lead to infection. Sex, blood exchange.... Even unsafe sex not necessarily leads to infection, but i wouldnt play with that.
So, don't worry, you're 100% not infected!I just fingering a prostitute after that i eat some starters without washing my hand are their chances of aids?
Not likely, I doubt a prostitute gets aroused and therefore you didn't make her wet so no vaginal fluid got onto your finger.
wat starters? and i doubt it but u shouldnt eat with dirty hands..sumthin im werkin at myselfoption arm

What is the best method of hand washing and drying for food factory workers?
I work in the office of a food manufacturer, they are very meticulous about cleanliness. Their hand washing method before and after entering the factory consists of a large stainless steel trough-like sink close to the entrance/exit doors. Above each sink are three soap dispensers each containing hand scrub, disinfectant soap and moisturising soap. There is a lever positioned in line with the taps underneath the sink. This controls the water flow and worked by pressing with the knee.
To avoid contamination no part of the sink is touched by the hands. The procedure on entering and leaving the factory is to wash hands and wrists with the soap scrub first and rinse, second to wash with the disinfectant soap and rinse, then finally to wash with the moisturising soap and rinse. Paper towels and electric hand dryers are used to dry the hands. Hair nets, hats and sterile overalls are also worn.What is the best method of hand washing and drying for food factory workers?
I go with angel1902!!
I would also point out that in the UK do not use nailbrushes as the HSE will point this out and advise against it as they too can harbour germs!What is the best method of hand washing and drying for food factory workers?
warm electric fan
The taps are not touched, they work by a sensor which switches on the water. The hands are washed in hot water,then wiped using dispensed paper towels which are disposed of in a foot operated pedal bin.
Alcohol gel is then rubbed into the hands This must be done before entering and exiting the food production area.
In strict factories they will take a swab from your hands, for analyses to the micro- biology lab.
The answer is obvious, there as to be hot water and soap and then paper towels to wipe your hands on. The waste basket should be placed outside the toilet area as germs are spread via door handles. The roller towels are useless as they harbour germs, and the heated hand dryers just recycle all the airborne germs.
They have to wash their hands for 30 seconds under hot water with soap, thoroughly rinse, and dry. Easiest way is to sing the Happy Birthday song while washing.
Don't know, when u do find out do tell me
I have worked food service for many years. The correct method in the state of Illinois is......
Dispense paper towel from roll. Leave on dispenser. Turn on your warm water. Get hands and arms (halfway to elbow) wet. Lather with soap. Use nail brush to clean nails. Scrub hands and arms for 30 seconds or more. Rinse. Leave water running. Pull towel from dispenser and dry hands. Use towel to turn off faucet and open door if there is a door. Throw away towel.
Chefgrill is right on the Happy Birthday song. If you sing it while scrubbing you know you have scrubbed the proper amount of time.
If everybody knew how to wash their hands properly we wouldn't have e-coli in our spinach.
In addition to what the other folks have said, it would be a good idea to have anti-bacterial hand wipes available in the work area.

My private area is itchy and it happened ever since I started hand washing my panties...more?
I soak them in vinegar and water first, then I hand wash them with baby shampoo...a few weeks later, I noticed my private area is itchy...is it because of the vinegar I use or what, help?My private area is itchy and it happened ever since I started hand washing my panties...more?
Try non perfumed detergent at the grocery store.My private area is itchy and it happened ever since I started hand washing my panties...more?
Its definitely the vinegar, it causes changes to your ph balance and can therefore cause itching.
just because you put a wet sponge in your panties and move your hand up and down its not consdered cleaning them.
yeh it sounds like the vinegar...don't use it anymore use just normal soap and water :)

Does washing your hand very clean with soap before using the keyboard can wipe out the letters on the keys?
Is it true that almost everyday when you wash your hand VERY CLEAN with soap and after that you touch the keyboards, or mouse or anything that has letters on it can wipe the letters out and also the smells will also be gone. Is it ture?Does washing your hand very clean with soap before using the keyboard can wipe out the letters on the keys?
If you wear the letters off the keys it's time to shut the computer down and go outside in search of a life.Does washing your hand very clean with soap before using the keyboard can wipe out the letters on the keys?
No that would be because your hands are dirty and oils, fats or other chemicals on them could dissolve the lettering on the keys
soap is not acidic, it's very neutral
it also could be you just have a cheapo keyboard that isn't very well made lol
You can't be for real asking a question like this. The number one way to keep from spreading germs is wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands.
If you're worried about the letters buy new keyboard. They don't cost that much.
I always wash my hands, and my letters are staying this time around. I also limit the amount of food eaten while sitting here.

Hand washing experiment without Glow Germ?
I am giving a speech on hand washing. I want to have a way to prove how easily germs are spread, but I do not want to use Glow Germ. What other things can I use to show my class how easily germs are spread?Hand washing experiment without Glow Germ?
The first thing that comes to mind is pancake syrup, or better yet, dark Karo syrup, which is thicker and easier to see. You can also use black pepper with white paper, or salt or sugar with dark construction paper.

Hand washing clothes ?
whats the best way to hand wash ? should i use handwash soap powder? or just normal soap? but use a bit more then usual so it foams abit more ?Hand washing clothes ?
Tesco's do a very good hand wash liquid, it get your clothes clean and leaves them smelling nice, and its great for delicate clothes as well.Hand washing clothes ?
I use Woolite. It's good for all delicates, whether in the washer or by hand. If you use regular detergent, use a bit less, not more. You'll get good suds if you swish it around in the water with your hand before adding the clothes. (And remember - don't wring!)
i tend to use soapower but any soap is fine to use. dont use more, just a little bit is needed.
hiya. just use detergent for hand washing if you can get it ordinary soap wont get any stains out ... dont use ordinary soap powder to wash with as it is harsh on your skin .but if it is all you have then make sure you rinse your clothes and hands very well after washing then use hand cream to replace moisture on your hands they can get very dry and sore when hand washing with normal washing powder .
I use to wash my stain clothes or fabric that can easily get damage in regular machine design for large amount of clohtes.
Now, I have the wonder wash mini wash machine in which I use to small loads at time and it works just a wash machine
1. You pour a small amount of detergrent of power or liquid
less than 1/4. Add whatever you use for stains ';I like oxi-clean or clorox color safe bleach';
2. You add hot or cold to the bucket which is 1.5 gallons or 2 gallons max
3. You set the setting Gentle or Standard
4. You set the timer for 5-15 minutes
5. Your clothes are wash
6. You get bucket of cold water and fabric softner and let it soak for 5 minutes and just rinse it out it use.
7. You have completed a whole load of clothes for the half the cost of laundry mat.
It usually cost me 1 per load machine
1 for colors
1 for whites
1 extra wash machine if extra amount of colors
2.75 for extra large wash machine for blankets
3 total for all dryers
Almost 10 dollars in one shot xxxx number of use each week 1
xxxx per weeks total in month = 40 dollars
yes i would use a handwash soap powder, but dont use too much or you will never rinse the stuff out.
They say you should use hand wash powder but I quite often use the normal liquid non-bio stuff and it works very well.
I can tell you the best soap to use for hand washing that is gentle and effective and use myself to handwash my delicates and woolens Use Baby Shampoo use about three to four tablespoons of baby shampoo in a sink full of cold to warm water depending on garment and washing temperature instructions on label of garment Good Luck !

Why is genital skin supposed to be dirty if touched, even if it's absolutely clean, requiring hand washing?
skin is skin is skin.Why is genital skin supposed to be dirty if touched, even if it's absolutely clean, requiring hand washing?
Ok, rub your absolutely clean genitals on anybody's hands, and see if they don't wash their hands before they eat. Then, touch their absolutely clean stuff and see if YOU don't wash your hands before you eat. It's gross, that's why. It's more of a mental than reasonable thing.Why is genital skin supposed to be dirty if touched, even if it's absolutely clean, requiring hand washing?
It's just safer to assume that it's always dirty when handling food and the like, even if it's sterile. It's kind of like the old saying in the kitchen ';when in doubt, throw it out.'; It's better to assume that everyone is always dirty down there than just take people's word for it.
I agree with you, it's just skin. But it is because it's a sensitive area and because it sweats, regardless of knowledge of the sweat.

Use less water to rinse when washing by hand?
We scrape most dishes and clean them in the dishwasher, but there are always a few things that have to be washed by hand. I have always rinsed each item individually by running hot water over it. Can you tell me any ways to use less water to rinse dishes when washing by hand?Use less water to rinse when washing by hand?
I haven't had a dishwasher for several years, so everything in my house is washed by hand. I've resigned myself to using what it takes to rinse, but I get around this by using less water to wash in. I set a dishwashing tub in the sink, and us it to wash in. The dish tub is much smaller than the sink volume, and I estimate a 2-gallon savings per day.
Also, I only fill a couple of inches at the outset, and use the rinse water from my first few dishes to finish filling the tub.
Hope this helps!Use less water to rinse when washing by hand?
My mom had a double sink and filled one side with clean water. She washed each object, kept it in the dry sink, then rinsed each in the clear water side. We had soft water, so all the detergent got rinsed off and didn't leave a residue.
This method was used for crystal and sterling flatware that couldn't go in the dishwasher.
first always rinse them in cold water this way the food does not get stuck on plus it is cheaper to use than hot. also if you have to soak things do so. but if you use a soft paper towel to try to get most of the food off before hand that helps too before you even wash the dishes . if you need to rinse the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher fill the basin with dish deterrent and rinse the less dirty dishes or cups and forks and such than go to the most dirty than you can put them in the dish washer when you are done throw the water away. if you can not wash in the dishwasher and have to wash be hand try like i said and try to get as much off before hand a make sure you don't use a lot of deterrent because than you need a lot of water to get all the soap off.

Can hand sanitizer substitute washing hands before eating?
like after the class ends and now it is lunch time...
will hand sanitizer do the same job as washing hands?Can hand sanitizer substitute washing hands before eating?
Hand Sanitizer takes away harmful bacteria so its the exact same thing as hand washing in my opinion probably better
%26lt;3 hope that i helped you glad to see you care haha GO SANITATION LOLCan hand sanitizer substitute washing hands before eating?
I think it's mostly a matter of personal preference. As for myself, I use hand sanitizer maybe 50 times a shift but before I eat, I use soap and water. Sanitizers shouldn't be used if your hands are visibly soiled and even if they aren't, I prefer to have nothing on them, not even sanitizer, before I put something in my mouth.
Hand sanitizer skeeves me out. This is the way I think of it.....
You touch something disgusting
You use hand sanitizer on your hands
Whatever disgusting thing you got on your hands is still there but the bacteria is dead. So, yes it kills germs but it does not remove dirt.
It helps, but I think washing hands would be better!
Yes, that should be fine, but any visible dirt on the hands won't be removed by it.
Yes it helps but soap and water are better if that is available.
absolutely, i always do that. =]
I guess. But I hate the taste of it...its just gross
yes, why do you think people use it ?

If my spouse has a virus, should I try to avoid being exposed to it by hand-washing, minimizing contact, etc?
Or is it pretty much inevitable that I'm going to be exposed to the virus, so should I instead do what I can to keep my immune system strong while still enjoying all of the contact I usually have with her?If my spouse has a virus, should I try to avoid being exposed to it by hand-washing, minimizing contact, etc?
Depends on what type of virus I'd say.
if it's respiratory (coughing sneezing etc.) washing your hands after touching any surface in the room she's in would be a good start, she can lessen the chances of contaminating you by covering her mouth and nose with her inner elbow or a tissue.
strengthening your immune system wouldn't likely save you from this episode but it is a good practice to maintain at all times.
there are medications that can prevent a full blown viral event and if you should show the slightest symptoms, I would present myself to a physician to thwart the illness.
if she's not well though, it would seem cruel to allow her to languish without company so be careful and rub her feet :)

Can you save more water by using the dishwasher for plates or by washing by hand?
Say, there's 5 people in the house and they all eat breakfast and dinner. Would they be using up more water if they use the dishwasher once at the end of the day or would it be more economical to wash stuff by hand?Can you save more water by using the dishwasher for plates or by washing by hand?
A German study concludes according to TreeHugger: ';The Bonn study proves that the dishwasher uses only half the energy and one-sixth of the water, less soap too. Even the most sparing and careful washers could not beat the modern dishwasher.'; The diswasher on average uses 1/6 of the water, 1/2 the energy and less soap. Oh and also ';The study also rated the cleanliness achieved, again in favor of the washing machine (sorry grandma).';
Using a dishwasher may emit slightly more CO2 however, but I don't have source for that. It makes sense since they use electricity too.Can you save more water by using the dishwasher for plates or by washing by hand?
If I remember correctly, I believe it was from the Tightwad Gazette, you actually save more water using a dishwasher. They are made to be very efficient now-a-days. Two more advantages besides water conservation is that you'll save time and avoid getting dishpan hands.
I have a dishwasher that attaches to the sink and if I were to plug the sink before the dishwasher runs, one side of the sink will fill to the top (a regular sized double basin sink). That is both wash and rinse. I know I would use more water myself in this situation if I were to do it by hand just by the rinse water alone. We have three people in the family, so it may differ with more. We run ours once a day.
I have a dishwasher and don't use it very often because it uses so much hot water. When I do use it, I fill the sink with hot water and rinse the dishes, then load them, and since the water is already hot from rinsing the dishes that saves on the heating the water bill. I usually try to wash a few dishes as I go along if I'm cooking a big meal for company. Hope this info helps you alittle.
No i have 5 people in my house and i fill the dishwasher to capacity every nite and run it while we are in bed, and i love it, all of my family except me is sick so that is why ilike the dishwasher and i think u save money by running the dishwasher once a nite then washing dishes three or four times a day... besides i hate dishwashing and only do it if i need the plate or cup before the next morning...
If the dishwasher is full that is the most efficient use of water. soap and electricity.
by hand i believe since the dishwasher rinses the dishes many times that aren't really necessary
I think if you use your dishwasher ';properly'; you can NOT only save time/money. I LOVE having a dishwasher I have 2 small children/husband and I load it all day and only run it on a full load on time delay.. So, it uses hot water that normally isn't used at 3 or 4 am ! I think as long as you run it when it's absolutely full you should be okay.. I run mine every other day or so.. Hand wash delicate, crystal or non-stick pans. I also have learned that by using only one main appliance at a time you can cut your electric bill in half.. For example: I will run only my washer and when the dryer is running I'm soaking the next load.. Or I wash a load of clothes before bed and put them in the dryer the next morning.. That helps a lot as well. As well as only running full loads of wash/dry or simply hanging items to dry. My normal bill of $114 for electric went down by half doing this method.. Try it ! Good luck.
The dishwasher is the winner as long as you do not rinse the dishes in the sink first.
A German study concludes according to TreeHugger: ';The Bonn study proves that the dishwasher uses only half the energy and one-sixth of the water, less soap too. Even the most sparing and careful washers could not beat the modern dishwasher.'; The diswasher on average uses 1/6 of the water, 1/2 the energy and less soap. Oh and also ';The study also rated the cleanliness achieved, again in favor of the washing machine (sorry grandma).';
Using a dishwasher may emit slightly more CO2 however, but I don't have source for that. It makes sense since they use electricity too.Can you save more water by using the dishwasher for plates or by washing by hand?
If I remember correctly, I believe it was from the Tightwad Gazette, you actually save more water using a dishwasher. They are made to be very efficient now-a-days. Two more advantages besides water conservation is that you'll save time and avoid getting dishpan hands.
I have a dishwasher that attaches to the sink and if I were to plug the sink before the dishwasher runs, one side of the sink will fill to the top (a regular sized double basin sink). That is both wash and rinse. I know I would use more water myself in this situation if I were to do it by hand just by the rinse water alone. We have three people in the family, so it may differ with more. We run ours once a day.
I have a dishwasher and don't use it very often because it uses so much hot water. When I do use it, I fill the sink with hot water and rinse the dishes, then load them, and since the water is already hot from rinsing the dishes that saves on the heating the water bill. I usually try to wash a few dishes as I go along if I'm cooking a big meal for company. Hope this info helps you alittle.

How do I get myself to stop over-washing my hands, and to stop over-using hand sanitizers?
Whenever I see a sanitizer in a hospital I need to use it.
I have hand sanitizers in my house, my mom buys them for me. I like to wash my hands a lot.
I'm very germaphobic.
But, I heard over-using sanitizers is bad for you.How do I get myself to stop over-washing my hands, and to stop over-using hand sanitizers?
it can be bad to over use it. you should use 1 or 2 drops, no more.
because if you use too much, then put it by your mouth, you can get sick or poisoned.
but if you're not going to put it by your mouth in any way, ie, before you eat, it's ok...How do I get myself to stop over-washing my hands, and to stop over-using hand sanitizers?
I think you should keep washing your hands... buy an Anti Bacterial, Moisturizing Hand Gel, no water-no towels! remember! SWINE FLU IS AROUND!
Only use it when needed. Maybe do it every so often. After meals, before meals and when you go out or come back from going out, it's fine if you use it while out also!
It's good to be clean, most of the population aren't :/
i diddnt know it was bad 4 u....wow
Just remind yourself of all those chemicals you are plastering your skin with.
haha im like that too with hand sanitizer
whenever i see germ-x or purell i MUSTTT use it and i always have mini bottles of it with me
its pretty common and i would think using to much germ x would dry out your hands eventually so just.....hold yourself back,dont use too much!
I use hand sanitizers all the time. I've got loads too. I use them when I'm out and about. But personally, only use it when you really need to like, when you need to touch your face, or before you eat. :)

Just bought a second hand washing machine. It had been turned off and I discovered it had filled with water.?
I have turned the water of at the main taps and is ok now. Why did it fill with water when it had,nt been switched on. i don't want to have to pull out the washing machine and turn the water on every time I want to use it.Thanks in advance for replyJust bought a second hand washing machine. It had been turned off and I discovered it had filled with water.?
Washing machines use valves with a spring and an electromagnet to control water flow.
If the valve is working correctly, an electric current has to be applied to the valve the entire time water needs to flow; as soon as the current stops, the valve closes.
This type of design prevents a flood if there is a power failure while the washer is filling.
If your washer immediately starts to fill with water when it's turned off, there is either something wrong with the valve, or the controller circuit.
If the washer fills with water even if it is not connected to electricity, then the valve is probably stuck open.
But if the washer only fills with water when it *is* connected to electricity (but not turned on), then there is a problem with the controller circuit.
But either way, it sounds like some parts on your washing machine need to be replaced.Just bought a second hand washing machine. It had been turned off and I discovered it had filled with water.?
When buying second hand you have very few rights, compared to when buying new from a retailer. You have to ask why someone may be selling something - because they got a new one maybe? because they need the money? to get rid of their rubbish on to someone else?
Caveat emptor - buyer beware. You could have asked to see it working before removing it.
Take it back to the vendor. It is not fit for the purpose.option arm

Is hand sanitizer more effective than washing your hands?
I figure that it just pushes around the dirt on your hands and the chemical residue stays on your hands. What if you put your fingers in your mouth?Is hand sanitizer more effective than washing your hands?
washing your hands is better but if you cant wash your hands that second hand sanitizer is better than nothingIs hand sanitizer more effective than washing your hands?
No.
Washing your hands with soap throughly is the best way to remove germs and viruses from your hands.
Personally I refuse to use hand sanitizer. I was posted overseas with the military and the stuff was widely used when one couldn't wash hands. All the happened was the people started getting sick since the hand goop was not only killing the bad stuff but some of the bugs were getting resistant to it. Also, as you noted, since there was no place to wash all the hand sanitizer off people would eventually end up ingesting some of it and they were getting sick as it was taking out the good bacteria they needed in their systems.
theyre both the same, hand sanitizers is when you dont have a sink nearby / when your on the go!!!
no. When you use hand sanitizer that .1% of germs not included in the amount of germs it kills get stronger and make fighting sicknesses harder for your body. Those germs that survive become less responsive to the alcohol.
No. washing your hands is more effective then washing your hands because the friction from washing your hands is actually more effective then just the sanitizers chemicals.
It dries my hand out.I use it all the time for fear of catching some kind of sickness.And i'm pretty sure its intended to only kill the germ's that hang out on your hand's,but you would'nt want to chug about bottle of it!!.If your at home and have access to a sink that's the better bet!And moisturizer. -jade
I'm for washing hands.Hand sanitizer only comes in handy when you don't have access to water and soap.
f_u_c_k no, wash ur hands, hand sanitizer taste bad anyways, tried the finger thing once, nasty!
Well, hand sanitizer right when you rub it in, it sort of evaporates. When you wash your hands with hot water, and soap it gets more germs and bacteria off your hands so washing your hands is better. Using sanitizer is more effective with when you just sneezed, or cough - per say.
No.
DON'T USE HAND SANITIZER! what it does is it destorys most but not all of the germs- like handwashing. But then the germs build up a resistence to then antibiotics in the sanitizer the germs get bigger and you need more medicine and it takes more to fight of a cold.
no,did a think in my biology class and we let everything grow for a week ...used 5 fingers on one hand..one with soap, a finger with nothing, one with sanitizer and the one that has the least amount of germs was the nothing. but rubbing alcohol works best just dries out ur hands so make sure u use plenty of lotion when using the alcohol
I wash my hands a lot. Before and after I eat always, and a lot of times in between. I must say that the hand sanitizer doesn't feel as clean as washing. I'll wash my hands after I use the sanitizer, as soon as I can get the chance. The sanitizer works in a pinch, but I would rather wash. I don't see how it can be as clean, without washing and drying. I won't eat food with just sanitizer alone, I have to wash.
It isn't as good as soap and water,but better than not. It kills bacteria. Gues it makes the dirt cleaner.
Hand sanitizer is okay as long as you still wash your hands. It's good to us it and it works well to ';clean'; your hands but washing your hands with soap and water is better because it takes away dead skin and doesn't dry out hands as a lot of sanitizers do.
Hand sanitizer doesn't remove dirt--it kills germs. If your hands are really DIRTY then you probably need to wash them, but if that's not an option, the sanitizer is better than nothing.
As for what stays on your hands, part of the action of the sanitizer is alcohol, which dries and evaporates the antibacterial agents with it. The chemical residue that remains is aloe--won't hurt you, but putting your fingers in your mouth is a questionable behavior in any case. Why would you?
Proper hand washing technique removes dirt AND germs effectively. Proper use of hand sanitizer kills germs.
Use of antibacterial SOAPs, however, have not been shown to be effective, and in fact may do more harm them good.
It can be dangerous if you are holding young kids.

My private area is itchy and it happened ever since I started hand washing my panties...more?
I soak them in vinegar and water first, then I hand wash them with baby shampoo...a few weeks later, I noticed my private area is itchy...is it because of the vinegar I use or what, help?My private area is itchy and it happened ever since I started hand washing my panties...more?
yeh it sounds like the vinegar...don't use it anymore use just normal soap and water :)My private area is itchy and it happened ever since I started hand washing my panties...more?
Its definitely the vinegar, it causes changes to your ph balance and can therefore cause itching.
Try non perfumed detergent at the grocery store.
just because you put a wet sponge in your panties and move your hand up and down its not consdered cleaning them.

Does washing your hand very clean with soap before using the keyboard can wipe out the letters on the keys?
Is it true that almost everyday when you wash your hand VERY CLEAN with soap and after that you touch the keyboards, or mouse or anything that has letters on it can wipe the letters out and also the smells will also be gone. Is it ture?Does washing your hand very clean with soap before using the keyboard can wipe out the letters on the keys?
If you wear the letters off the keys it's time to shut the computer down and go outside in search of a life.Does washing your hand very clean with soap before using the keyboard can wipe out the letters on the keys?
No that would be because your hands are dirty and oils, fats or other chemicals on them could dissolve the lettering on the keys
soap is not acidic, it's very neutral
it also could be you just have a cheapo keyboard that isn't very well made lol
You can't be for real asking a question like this. The number one way to keep from spreading germs is wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands.
If you're worried about the letters buy new keyboard. They don't cost that much.
I always wash my hands, and my letters are staying this time around. I also limit the amount of food eaten while sitting here.

Hand washing experiment without Glow Germ?
I am giving a speech on hand washing. I want to have a way to prove how easily germs are spread, but I do not want to use Glow Germ. What other things can I use to show my class how easily germs are spread?Hand washing experiment without Glow Germ?
The first thing that comes to mind is pancake syrup, or better yet, dark Karo syrup, which is thicker and easier to see. You can also use black pepper with white paper, or salt or sugar with dark construction paper.

Hand washing clothes ?
whats the best way to hand wash ? should i use handwash soap powder? or just normal soap? but use a bit more then usual so it foams abit more ?Hand washing clothes ?
Tesco's do a very good hand wash liquid, it get your clothes clean and leaves them smelling nice, and its great for delicate clothes as well.Hand washing clothes ?
I use Woolite. It's good for all delicates, whether in the washer or by hand. If you use regular detergent, use a bit less, not more. You'll get good suds if you swish it around in the water with your hand before adding the clothes. (And remember - don't wring!)
i tend to use soapower but any soap is fine to use. dont use more, just a little bit is needed.
hiya. just use detergent for hand washing if you can get it ordinary soap wont get any stains out ... dont use ordinary soap powder to wash with as it is harsh on your skin .but if it is all you have then make sure you rinse your clothes and hands very well after washing then use hand cream to replace moisture on your hands they can get very dry and sore when hand washing with normal washing powder .
I use to wash my stain clothes or fabric that can easily get damage in regular machine design for large amount of clohtes.
Now, I have the wonder wash mini wash machine in which I use to small loads at time and it works just a wash machine
1. You pour a small amount of detergrent of power or liquid
less than 1/4. Add whatever you use for stains ';I like oxi-clean or clorox color safe bleach';
2. You add hot or cold to the bucket which is 1.5 gallons or 2 gallons max
3. You set the setting Gentle or Standard
4. You set the timer for 5-15 minutes
5. Your clothes are wash
6. You get bucket of cold water and fabric softner and let it soak for 5 minutes and just rinse it out it use.
7. You have completed a whole load of clothes for the half the cost of laundry mat.
It usually cost me 1 per load machine
1 for colors
1 for whites
1 extra wash machine if extra amount of colors
2.75 for extra large wash machine for blankets
3 total for all dryers
Almost 10 dollars in one shot xxxx number of use each week 1
xxxx per weeks total in month = 40 dollars
yes i would use a handwash soap powder, but dont use too much or you will never rinse the stuff out.
They say you should use hand wash powder but I quite often use the normal liquid non-bio stuff and it works very well.
I can tell you the best soap to use for hand washing that is gentle and effective and use myself to handwash my delicates and woolens Use Baby Shampoo use about three to four tablespoons of baby shampoo in a sink full of cold to warm water depending on garment and washing temperature instructions on label of garment Good Luck !

Why is genital skin supposed to be dirty if touched, even if it's absolutely clean, requiring hand washing?
skin is skin is skin.Why is genital skin supposed to be dirty if touched, even if it's absolutely clean, requiring hand washing?
Ok, rub your absolutely clean genitals on anybody's hands, and see if they don't wash their hands before they eat. Then, touch their absolutely clean stuff and see if YOU don't wash your hands before you eat. It's gross, that's why. It's more of a mental than reasonable thing.Why is genital skin supposed to be dirty if touched, even if it's absolutely clean, requiring hand washing?
It's just safer to assume that it's always dirty when handling food and the like, even if it's sterile. It's kind of like the old saying in the kitchen ';when in doubt, throw it out.'; It's better to assume that everyone is always dirty down there than just take people's word for it.
I agree with you, it's just skin. But it is because it's a sensitive area and because it sweats, regardless of knowledge of the sweat.

Use less water to rinse when washing by hand?
We scrape most dishes and clean them in the dishwasher, but there are always a few things that have to be washed by hand. I have always rinsed each item individually by running hot water over it. Can you tell me any ways to use less water to rinse dishes when washing by hand?Use less water to rinse when washing by hand?
I haven't had a dishwasher for several years, so everything in my house is washed by hand. I've resigned myself to using what it takes to rinse, but I get around this by using less water to wash in. I set a dishwashing tub in the sink, and us it to wash in. The dish tub is much smaller than the sink volume, and I estimate a 2-gallon savings per day.
Also, I only fill a couple of inches at the outset, and use the rinse water from my first few dishes to finish filling the tub.
Hope this helps!Use less water to rinse when washing by hand?
My mom had a double sink and filled one side with clean water. She washed each object, kept it in the dry sink, then rinsed each in the clear water side. We had soft water, so all the detergent got rinsed off and didn't leave a residue.
This method was used for crystal and sterling flatware that couldn't go in the dishwasher.
first always rinse them in cold water this way the food does not get stuck on plus it is cheaper to use than hot. also if you have to soak things do so. but if you use a soft paper towel to try to get most of the food off before hand that helps too before you even wash the dishes . if you need to rinse the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher fill the basin with dish deterrent and rinse the less dirty dishes or cups and forks and such than go to the most dirty than you can put them in the dish washer when you are done throw the water away. if you can not wash in the dishwasher and have to wash be hand try like i said and try to get as much off before hand a make sure you don't use a lot of deterrent because than you need a lot of water to get all the soap off.
I haven't had a dishwasher for several years, so everything in my house is washed by hand. I've resigned myself to using what it takes to rinse, but I get around this by using less water to wash in. I set a dishwashing tub in the sink, and us it to wash in. The dish tub is much smaller than the sink volume, and I estimate a 2-gallon savings per day.
Also, I only fill a couple of inches at the outset, and use the rinse water from my first few dishes to finish filling the tub.
Hope this helps!Use less water to rinse when washing by hand?
My mom had a double sink and filled one side with clean water. She washed each object, kept it in the dry sink, then rinsed each in the clear water side. We had soft water, so all the detergent got rinsed off and didn't leave a residue.

Can hand sanitizer substitute washing hands before eating?
like after the class ends and now it is lunch time...
will hand sanitizer do the same job as washing hands?Can hand sanitizer substitute washing hands before eating?
Hand Sanitizer takes away harmful bacteria so its the exact same thing as hand washing in my opinion probably better
%26lt;3 hope that i helped you glad to see you care haha GO SANITATION LOLCan hand sanitizer substitute washing hands before eating?
I think it's mostly a matter of personal preference. As for myself, I use hand sanitizer maybe 50 times a shift but before I eat, I use soap and water. Sanitizers shouldn't be used if your hands are visibly soiled and even if they aren't, I prefer to have nothing on them, not even sanitizer, before I put something in my mouth.
Hand sanitizer skeeves me out. This is the way I think of it.....
You touch something disgusting
You use hand sanitizer on your hands
Whatever disgusting thing you got on your hands is still there but the bacteria is dead. So, yes it kills germs but it does not remove dirt.
It helps, but I think washing hands would be better!
Yes, that should be fine, but any visible dirt on the hands won't be removed by it.
Yes it helps but soap and water are better if that is available.
absolutely, i always do that. =]
I guess. But I hate the taste of it...its just gross
yes, why do you think people use it ?

If my spouse has a virus, should I try to avoid being exposed to it by hand-washing, minimizing contact, etc?
Or is it pretty much inevitable that I'm going to be exposed to the virus, so should I instead do what I can to keep my immune system strong while still enjoying all of the contact I usually have with her?If my spouse has a virus, should I try to avoid being exposed to it by hand-washing, minimizing contact, etc?
Depends on what type of virus I'd say.
if it's respiratory (coughing sneezing etc.) washing your hands after touching any surface in the room she's in would be a good start, she can lessen the chances of contaminating you by covering her mouth and nose with her inner elbow or a tissue.
strengthening your immune system wouldn't likely save you from this episode but it is a good practice to maintain at all times.
there are medications that can prevent a full blown viral event and if you should show the slightest symptoms, I would present myself to a physician to thwart the illness.
if she's not well though, it would seem cruel to allow her to languish without company so be careful and rub her feet :)

Why is washing your hands with soap and water better than hand sanitizer?
Sanitizing is more convenient, but I've always heard the best way to wash hands is with soap and water. Why?Why is washing your hands with soap and water better than hand sanitizer?
Don't always go by what you've heard. Sanitizing and washing your hands with soap and water won't kill all the germs. Both methods are effective for keeping your hands clean.Why is washing your hands with soap and water better than hand sanitizer?
because sanitizers kill 99.9% of germs...and that little .01% continues to stay there and just keeps building up, until its a problem. another thing wrong with hand sanitizers is they make you more prone to germs anyway when used on a regular basis. they're okay if you only use them once in a while. soap and water is always much more effective.
Because the hand sanatizer kills every single bit of bacteria. And it is killing some of the good bacteria that helps you and our enviroment. And some of the good bacteria eats the bad bacteria but when you kill the good bacteria thats bad.
you can't spread disease.
Plus hand sanitizer can't get rid of most of the germs that soap and water can get rid of.
the friction while washing is the most important -whether using sanitizer or soap %26amp; water.
I use earthworm feces, its most sanitary !

What do ya think of constant hand washing?
Our son is 11 years old and washes his hands constantly. We can't get him to listen. He will wash for minutes at a time. He will leave the bathroom and go back in just a few minutes and wash again. His hands are getting so dry they are starting to crack. This is a true problem.What do ya think of constant hand washing?
I would suggest a consultation with a child psychiatrist-he might have some hidden concerns.What do ya think of constant hand washing?
That is a serious condition. I saw a program on it on television a few years ago. I dont remember what the condition is called but you might want to have him taken to the doctor to be evaluated by a professional.
This is a problem. It sounds like obsessive compulsive disorder. There are 2 approaches to take with this. The first is to see a psychologist and see if there is some reason for this. It has been reported that the child engages in activities that he thinks are dirty (ie masturbation) and wants somehow to wash the dirt of it away.
The other is to see a psychiatrist for medication to slow down the obsessive behavior.
Is it there some specific reason why he wants to wash the hands. At 11, I think he can explain why he wants to wash his hands. This looks like a feeling that he is getting dirty with something and lies more in the mind. You need to discuss it with him and try to convince that ';whatever his fears about (most probably hygiene) they are not correct and no normal person would do what he is doing. And he is a normal person, right?';
If problems persist, you may have to consult a psychologist/psychiatrist.
One disorder (in cognitive thought process) is OCD: obsessive compulsive disorder. Most children will go thru a developmental period where things like obsessive compulsive type behaviour is quite normal. Examples could be avoiding cracks on a footpath and ritualistic routines. In some people this phase does not pass and may become more fixed. Sometimes it can be triggered later by illness, stress or trauma.
While you find a recommended child psychologist, lessen the impact by providing a gentle handwash rather than a harsher soap product and offer a hand or barrier cream. Do not force him to stop or punish him but do share your concerns for him, with him. Do some reading around it. Don't take this as a diagnosis.... its just one possible answer to what your son is experiencing. Good luck.

Hand washing Victoria Secret Bras?
I have always bought Victoria Secret bras and I always just wash them, but I am sick of them getting wrecked so quickly. SO I want to hand wash the new ones I just bought like the tag says to but how do you hand wash bras? How much soap do you use and how do you make sure you got all the soap rinsed out? It's sounds useless and unsanitary to me...Hand washing Victoria Secret Bras?
You should buy a bottle of Woolite and handwash them in the sink. Simply put in the Woolite, add water, and then put the bra in and let it soak for 15 or 20 minutes. After awhile you may want to swirl the bra around in the soapy water before draining it Refill the sink with clean water and rinse the bra. You may need to do this twice to remove the soap. Hang the bra up to drip dry. That's all there is to it.Hand washing Victoria Secret Bras?
Wash them in the gentle cycle %26amp; hang them to dry. NO CLOTHES DRYER! thats what ruins a bra
e, I'd buy the same styles at JCPenney, because they have the same merchandise in their Ambrielle brand at lower prices and I haven't had any trouble washing mine in the machine on delicate. I just hang them to dry and they turn out great!
Use Woolite. Put them in the (clean) sink in cool or luke warm water, add very little soap (less than a capful) as sink is filling.
I like to let the bras soak in the water for about an hour. I swoosh them around a couple times.
Then I drain the sink, refill with more cool water, swoosh a few times.
Place on nice thick bath towel, fold towl over and press gently to remove water. Lay flat to dry (my bras are padded and wringing destroys the padding).
Wait til you have 4 or 5 to wash.
It really pays off - when you consider how much they cost!
An alternative:
get some of the mesh bags that are made just for washing delicates in the machine. Make sure you get some larger ones for bigger lingerie too. Use them in your washer with mild detergent, or Woolite, on gentle cycle. Always hang your unmentionables to dry. Happy panties, and happy bras etc...

Machine washing a 100 % cotton hand wash shirt...??
can i just machine washin it, insted of hand wash it, even tho the washin instructions say to hand wash it?Machine washing a 100 % cotton hand wash shirt...??
if the label says Hand washed , then hand wash it, the agitation of the machine may damage the fabric , but remember to always use cold water when washing 100% cotton and never put it in the drier . Hand wash only and hang to dry .Machine washing a 100 % cotton hand wash shirt...??
Only on the gentle cycle, cold water and dry on gentle cycle medium or low temp air. Hand washing might be due to some color bleed that will get on other clothes or the shirt has some foo-foo that can be damaged thrashing about in a washer.
I wouldnt. I had a tee that said handwash and i put in the washer and it is now at the dump. it might be okay on the delicate cycle. If its lacey has beads hand wash. its always best to follow the label.
i just put anything that says that in a lingerie bag, and wash them, you can get them at walmart
i do, nothing bad has happened.
if you don't want it to shrink then hang it to dry though.

Why does the hand soap in hospitals cause dry skin from frequent hand washing?
any soap, used as frequently as nurses and doctors must use it to wash, will dry the skin on hands.Why does the hand soap in hospitals cause dry skin from frequent hand washing?
I think they use the same soap as everyone else, it's just that they're washing their hands so much more than the average person.
Frequent washing can cause breaks in your skin.

Can I use 'softsoap' hand washing soap to clean pieces (or in general the entire cage) in a budgie cage?
Or is that not safe for them?Can I use 'softsoap' hand washing soap to clean pieces (or in general the entire cage) in a budgie cage?
You can use dish soap or hand soap to clean the cage,toys, dishes etc. It will not harm the bird as long as the items are fully rinsed off.
Dishes: Food and water dishes should be washed in hot, soapy water, and dried thoroughly. Do not clean the dishes in areas where food is prepared. To provide more cleaning power, some people wash them in the dishwasher or use a disinfectant. Be sure no trace of soap or disinfectant remains on the dishes. The food dishes need to be absolutely dry before adding food, since damp seed or pellets can quickly mold. To avoid waste, fill the dishes with only the amount the bird will eat until the dishes are cleaned again.
A good alternative is to have two or more sets of dishes, so while one set is being cleaned, the other set can be used in the cage. Stainless steel or high impact plastic dishes are recommended since they clean easily and can withstand repeated washings, hot water, and disinfectants.
If you use a water bottle, use a bottlebrush to clean it thoroughly. Again, having two or more bottles available often makes cleanup easier. Check the bottle to make sure the ball is loose and works properly.
Accessories: If you have a birdbath in the cage, it should be removed, washed in hot soapy water and/or disinfectant, rinsed very well, and refilled with fresh water.
Any accumulations of droppings on perches or toys should be removed.
Remove any seeds or loose droppings from the cage. Scrub the cage with hot soapy water.Can I use 'softsoap' hand washing soap to clean pieces (or in general the entire cage) in a budgie cage?
no no no don't ever use sopas. Just get a clean rag and wipe it down with steamy water. Soaps can kill us.
I don't suggest useing products as human soap, because they have germ killing things that are powerful to germs, and depending on how good your budgies immune system is, that'll depend. If you are looking for something that will help get the built-up of things off, try useing water and poop off cleaner, it works very well.
You need to use hot water and then it is ok. Just be sure it is rinsed very very well.
As long as you rinse it well, I don't think it will do any harm.
I use an old toothbrush and shampoo or soapfree bodywash.
I wouldn't recommend it,however for the cage I found a site that recommends using 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water. An excellent place to ask these sorts of questions is called tailfeathers which deals with birds and I have found it realy helpful.
I don't recommend using soap of any kind to clean your cages. For my budgies and my cockateils I use a sink full of hot water to soak the perches in, then i use a scrub brush (that i don't use for anything else) to clean off the debris with. I then put my parts in the dish drainer to dry. I wipe out their cage with a clean cloth using only hot water also. This is the safest way... I learned the hard way. I accidentally lost one of my budgies when i was a new bird owner by washing their feeding dishes with mild dish soap. I hope this helps you.
I would tend to stay away from hand soaps or spray cleaners. Both can have nasty chemicals in them that may upset the birds. I would actually use Dawn dishwashing soap (SPECIFICLY Dawn, no others) not straight, but mixed with a little water.
The reason I would use that is I know for a fact that it causes the least problems when used on birds. Dawn has been used for de-oiling bird species after an oil spill for over 20 years now, and has proven safe to use.
I suggest you use a mild dishwashing liquid - I know that's safe. and rinse well.
i use water vinigar and a bit of bicarb. i just put it in a spray bottle and use it that way. but when the whole cage needs to be cleaned use hot water instead of cold.
the spray is good for cleaning little accidents around the house.

Washing clothes that are supposed to be hand washed?
i hate hand washing stuff. i don't even know how. have you ever washed something in a machine and it turns out fine even if the tag tells you to hand wash it?Washing clothes that are supposed to be hand washed?
i just use cold water in the washer and put it on the delicate cycle. Just lay it flat or hang it on a hanger to dry it. make sure you don't put anything in the washer that can damager it (ie velcro/ hooks)
Dunno if you're SUPPOSE to do it this way, but it's always worked out for me just fineWashing clothes that are supposed to be hand washed?
Yes I have....I am a Mother of 3 and way to busy to handwash certain things...
Use the gentle cycle on your washer ( mine has actually a handwash cycle), a mild detergent and cold water...
Now....I don`t put delicates in the dryer, cause heat can do damage....
Ya--almost everything--just use the gentle cycle. But you have to be the judge. The really delicate stuf should still be done by hand.
I do it all the time; I just put the items in a delicate wash and so far I've never had any problems.
Yes I have. I almost always do since im too lazy to hand wash it also.
i just use cold water in the washer and put it on the delicate cycle. Just lay it flat or hang it on a hanger to dry it. make sure you don't put anything in the washer that can damager it (ie velcro/ hooks)
Dunno if you're SUPPOSE to do it this way, but it's always worked out for me just fineWashing clothes that are supposed to be hand washed?
Yes I have....I am a Mother of 3 and way to busy to handwash certain things...
Use the gentle cycle on your washer ( mine has actually a handwash cycle), a mild detergent and cold water...
Now....I don`t put delicates in the dryer, cause heat can do damage....
Ya--almost everything--just use the gentle cycle. But you have to be the judge. The really delicate stuf should still be done by hand.

you can send it to the dry cleaners just make sure you tell them about the hand wash only tag.
If you want to make it sure that your tuxedo will not be ruined wash it by yourself or ask somebody to do it for you.here's how to do it: lay it down on a flat surface in your laundry area,wet your tuxedo with plain water, dissolve detergent in a small basin, get a sponge and scrub it with the sponge with the dissolve detergent.you can use a bath soap or any mild soap on the neckline or the collar.rub it with the sponge.If you don't see any dirt anymore,fill the basin with water,hold your tuxedo on the shoulder part,dip in the water and rinse it repeatedly,. if the water is already clear,hang it in a clothes hanger without squeezing,just leave it until the water drips and dry.Iron it.
Also, use Tide To Go sample on stains. The pen-like tool is easy to use. Or, you may also visit this site http://www.upkb.com/tidetogo.php for cleaning tips and product details.
for handwashing anything I use this product called Woolite. They have a Woolite Original for garments in general and then they have a Woolite Dark (I assuming the your tux is black).
I usually hand wash some of my garments in a sink or bath tub full of cold water so that the color does not fade nor ruin the quality. Rinse in cold water and hang to dry.
If the tux tag says hand wash then hand wash it. Just be gentle with it. If you are not sure then go to the cleaners. It shouldn't be that hard though...
hand washing a tux will take you a while and will be heavy when wet, and you need a good strong hanger that will hold the weight and wont leave crease marks. you should let a dry cleaner do the job for you . less hassle and better results.and hand washing garments such as silk,wool use wool lite. it is made especially for hand washed clothing.

How Much Hand washing is normal?
My girlfriend thinks I am mildly OCD because she says I wash my hands a little excessively. How many times per day is normal?How Much Hand washing is normal?
The only way it's excessive is if you keep washing them in a short period of time when you have no reason to. When cooking I wash my hands at least ten times to avoid cross contamination and I'm not ocd. I wash my hands everytime I touch raw meat or after touching a door handle when I'm about to touch clean plates or food etc.How Much Hand washing is normal?
I have a very bad case of OCD. I had it since I was a little girl but mine didn't come with the hand washing thing. Washing your hands after you use the bathroom, before you eat, and if you just touched something really nasty, is completely normal! If you do much more than that then you most likely have OCD. Hope I could help. Good luck!!!
any time before you eat or drink or touch your eyes, lips and stuff like that especially if you go to the bathroom you want to wash after that.
anywhere between 3-5x per day is normal. unless of course you want to eat a snack or something then by all means if your hands are dirty wash them. if you wash them too much it can be bad for you believe it or not. your hands have normal flora on them which are bacteria that grow and actually help fight Germs.
It depends on what you do...after using the washroom, before eating and cooking, and whenever they get dirty....you can never wash them too much...
