NEVER the next day. I am a clean freak, and my kitchen is freak-out spot number 1. I'd have to be really, desperately ill to let it go. And at that point my husband would just do it all, because he knows that I need a clean house to be comfortable and happy. prettylizy on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-426092 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:57:10 +0000 prettylizy 426092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I try to clean as I go, but if I'm busy or we're leaving the house for something, they often get left for that evening's clean up time sorrycharlie on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-426089 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:56:19 +0000 sorrycharlie 426089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm so anal about things lying around - clutter, dishes, etc. I clean up as I go, DH leaves things to pile..

I always soak my dishes in soapy water though. Makes me feel less lazy. Like I have to let them soak which is why I'm not doing them right now.

I put them into the dishwasher and I am trying really hard to teach DH to do the same. Pots & pans I usually let pile up out of sheer laziness, until I have to use them again and then I have to wash them to be able to cook and it makes me mad haha JerricaBenton on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-424693 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:50:49 +0000 JerricaBenton 424693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not really. I cook breakfast and lunch and dinner for me and my husband so if I let all that pile up I'd have no room by dinner time.

I always soak everything if I don't wash it immediately to prevent food from sticking on there. blackbird on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-424538 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 08:40:12 +0000 blackbird 424538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm pretty bad about this. We end up with dishes in the sink for a few days sometimes.

I either put them right in the dishwasher or I hand wash them. I can't stand dishes in the sink! heffalump on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-424482 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 07:17:40 +0000 heffalump 424482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, I stick them in the dishwasher when I'm done with them.

I leave them soaking so everything's easy to clean.

I can't leave dirty dishes sitting around til the morning. I'll hand wash if I have to. @Mrs. Pen: I hate hand washing too because I don't like wearing gloves, so my hands get so dry.

Depends on the day! I keep the dishwasher loaded but right now the sink has dirty dishes that can't go in the dishwasher and need to be washer by hand. I hate washing dishes by hand. Hoping DH will do them tomorrow haha StbHisMrs on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-424340 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 01:03:28 +0000 StbHisMrs 424340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, can't do it. It's one of my OCD tendencies, everything is either washed straight away or put in the dishwasher. I even wake up in the middle of the night and will put them in the dishwasher if dh has left any. It's absurd. autumnlove on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-424302 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:27:14 +0000 autumnlove 424302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, we put them in the dishwasher throughout the day!

It's easier to just do everything in the evening.

Every time I load the dishwasher I say it'll never happen again, and then it does. lovehoneybee on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-423910 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:57:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 423910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, because I really only have a chance to do them at night.

Used to drive DH crazy since he's the type to wash right away. haha. junebugmama on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-423893 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:54:58 +0000 junebugmama 423893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I put my dishes right in the dishwasher. However, DH does not do this, so once it starts, I just keep going out of frustration and then they pile up mrbee on "Do you let dishes pile up in the sink throughout the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-dishes-pile-up-in-the-sink-throughout-the-day#post-423892 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:54:55 +0000 mrbee 423892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @BoogieBea: I try to deal with them right away... it really helps prevent the bits of food from bonding to the plate on a subatomic level!

It'd be so much easier if I dealt with them as soon as I'm done though.
