It's not an issue for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1746007 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:51:24 +0000 Mae 1746007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't rinse our dishes well enough that there is every a question whether they are clean or dirty :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1746006 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:50:08 +0000 Running Elley 1746006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH does this too. I just add them to the dishwasher/clean up whenever I walk by. Not an awesome system but I pick my battles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1745893 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:15:07 +0000 mrsjyw 1745893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually clean after every meal and/or every nt before bed. Dishwasher gets loaded each nt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1745886 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:13:18 +0000 bunnylove08 1745886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always leaves the dirty dishes in the sink and it drives me up a wall. I usually text him and ask him to wash them. He will usually do them while I'm putting DD to bed. </p> <p>I need to put up a sign because he always leaves food in the drain trap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1745883 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:11:13 +0000 JennyD 1745883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea how to help you there, because we suffer from THE SAME THING! It seems pretty straightforward to me to just open the dishwasher AND LOOK, but this is beyond my husband, at least.</p> <p>Let me know if you find something that works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1745877 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:08:37 +0000 Alivoo01 1745877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never have clean dishes in the sink so that'd be our dead give away it's dirty. Clean dishes go in the dishwasher (we use it as a drying rack). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1745869 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:05:43 +0000 Mamaof2 1745869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you mean for the dishwasher? Ours is SS so it wont hold a magnet - I told my DSS and DH that if you open it and there isn't a green light - its DIRTY - if you open it and see a green light - Its CLEAN.</p> <p>does yours have a light? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1745867 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:05:16 +0000 deactivated_account 1745867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We clean as we go in my house. If clean dishes were something I wanted and DH didn't care, I imagine I would just clean all of them. We divvy up plenty of chores that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-the-dishes-clean-or-dirty#post-1745861 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:03:40 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1745861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Despite a system which I think is very clear, DH constantly is asking/leaving dishes in the sink, etc. How do you handle this? Do you have a magnet- if so, where did you get it? If we go this route, I would prefer something funny, and not just "clean/dirty." </p>
