I've seen some people wash everything individually under a running tap. I fill a bowl with hot soapy water and put everything in. Of course I do rinse the excess off beforehand. This is of course if don't have a dishwasher.

I do the same Dave.  But why is it when I pour out the water there is always one teaspoon left ?? 

Hot soapy water then glassware first, cups, plates, cutlery and lastly pots and pans. But mostly I use the dishwasher 😉

From what I've seen, I think its usually the foreign types who wash everything under a running tap, perhaps it's a cultural thing.

Before I had a dishwasher I rinsed it all off under running water and stacked it by the sink.  Then filled a washing up bowl with hot soapy water and washed each item individually, starting with the least mucky - glasses, cups - and changing the water once or twice in between.  I've never stacked it all together in the washing up bowl.

I just let the staff take it all away, no idea what happens after that.

As I live alone if there's just a few bits a quick rinse and whipe will surfice under the hot running tap.
If however I'm actually cooking something then full sink of soapy hot water and wash - up as I go along.

On lazy days I have left it soaking for the day after tomorrow.

Dishwasher, pans though usually washed under a running tap using one of them soap sponge things.

All these running taps point to some of the water supply issues we hear of.

Nobody have a basin any more?

Sink, hot water, appropriate detergent, mug.

You have to rinse the plates off first, otherwise it's like washing up in ministrone soup.

Got two Douglas. 😁
