do you wash dishes by hand or dishwasher

Dishwashers are not very common in India (though it is available). So, I usually wash my dishes by hand. But here we also have the concept of a help to do the dishes. So, I do have someone who comes in to help me do the dishes and the dirty work (if I may call it so):P

We have a dishwasher that I use once i a whle,but I mostly wash dishes by hand. Our dishwasher is kind of old and not too energy efficeint so to save money I hand wash the dishes most days, even though I hate it. Sometimes my kids help with the dishes, but I mostly do them myself.

Hello hopejordan, I wash the dishes manually. I don't have a dishwasher at home. Anyway, it is not a big deal for me as I love all kind of housechores *laughs* Sometimes when my husband feels free after dinner or when he thinks that I am not in a good mood, he will help me with the dishes.

ilove washin our dishes at me i felt relief if im washing our dishes, i do thank for it 'coz i am washing the plates 'coz we juz have finish eating.. i do not dream for a dish washer my two hands will be enough to clean it.

Hope to have a dishwasher to lessen the work but I prefer to wash it by hands..to make sure no stains left and no smells left from the dishwashing liquid..anyway it feels good seeing clean dishes after, isn't it?

By hand!!! I don't even know how to work a dishwasher. It just seems like a waist of water to me. -Chie

I really don't have a choice either as I don't have a dishwasher. So I'm the dishwasher. LOL. It's really not that bad as I live alone now, so it's only me who dirties up the dish but of course I have my kitties dished to wash too. Mmmm. Wonder if I could train them to wash their own dishes. LOL

I don't have a dishwasher at home. In the past my husband and I discussed whether we should buy it but I disagreed to it. I don't think it can work well. So nowadays we wash dishes by hand in turn.

we got a brand new built in dishwasher in 1991 and my wife used it a few times but has not used it since then...i don't even know how to use this machine..but she likes t do the dishes by hand and never used the automatic dishwasher...but it takes all kinds..

I do wash them in dishwasher and I am so glad to have one. It is just so much easier and it save so much time. when I was living in germany in one place i have one and I get so used to it and then when i moved to another place without one, it was terrbile. i mean specially when you have some friends over and just one sink to wash and don't have enough place for everything, where to rinse them, it can be difficult.

i wash used my hand because i dont have dishwasher and i thinks its expensive so better to use hands and i like to wash dishes because i like my hands always in the water even washing clothes i dont use too much washing machine i use my hand if only few dirty clothes:-)

I hate washing the dishes but since i don't have a dishwasher no choice for me. And i don't think i'd ever plan to buy a dishwasher because electricity rate here in our country is expensive i might as well do the washing manually. But most of the time, since i live alone, i eat out so i don't have to deal with the dishes.

I have washed the dishes by hand twice in my house in the past 2 years. I do not wash dishes. My mom won't let me put some things in the dishwasher but when I lived on my own I put everything in there. Its such a boring task. I'm starting to do it out of necessity though.

I use to do them only by hand, but then when we got a dish washer I rinse them first then pu t them in to finish.

I always have to do them by hand as we have never had a dishwasher. I'm sure it would be good to have one but then I'd still always be the one to put them all away! My 8 year old son sometimes dries for me but I am always the one to wash because no one else will do it!

Here in Arizona, my husband and I have a disheasher, and at home in Canada we wash our dishes by hand. There are no hookups or a dishwasher in any of the apartments in the apartment building I live in, in Canada. The building is too old for those hookups.

We do not have a dishwasher. In India its a novelty - 99% of the households doesn't have one! So hands work best for us. I seldom do it though. We have maid servants who does it for us. And this is another thing that comes cheap in our country. Thanks.

I have a dishwasher now but I have the motto that as im working as well and I cook dinner then my hubby has to do the dishes
