Just Use the Dishwasher

For those of you who hate doing the dishes, I have good news for you. You now have an excuse to stop hand-washing the dishes. Don't even bother to thoroughly rinse the dishes. Obviously, the dishes cannot be absolutely covered in food, but they certainly don't need to be pristine. Washing dishes by hand actually uses twice as much energy, six times more water, and more soap than dishwashers do. Even better, if you are looking into getting a new dishwasher, aim to get an Energy Star one. Their numbers are even better. Older dishwashers will be less efficient. However, make sure to only run your dishwasher when it is full, or else these awesome numbers will be meaningless!
