The 'kitchen myth' is perpetuated by advertisements. Let me elaborate on the heels of the periodic disagreement my wife and I have regarding dish washing. She buys into the notion that dishes are cleaner when washed in an automatic dishwasher whereas, I maintain that sink-hot-water hand-washed and hand dried dishes are cleaner.
Our most recent debate on the subject occurred yesterday morning as we listened to a report suggesting that you need NOT knock off food before placing the dish in the automatic washer. The dishes will be sterilized and dried automatically. I say, "Bull-Butter!"
When driving my automobile through a automatic car wash...(1) The bugs and tar will not fall off unless you scrub before entering wash. (2) The tire rims will not be clean unless you use a towel on them after exiting the wash. (3) There will be a light film of dirt on my auto's body needing to be wiped off? (4) The windows spots will need to be wiped, also.
The next time you are restaurant dinning, look closely at the plates, silverware and drinking glasses.
There are three 'myths' engulfing Americans: (1) If you give corporations greater tax breaks they will employ more people, (2) Three basketball referees manage a game better than two referees and
(3) Automatic is better than 'elbow grease.' If the use of the phrase 'elbow grease' baffles you, seek out someone older than 55 for explanation.
Finally, I believe there is a direct correlation between a lower incident of divorce amongst couples who stand side-by-side after family meals and hand wash & hand dry dishes.
