At some point it's got to be easier to get it over with and just do the damn dishes. (sh.itjust.works)

here's a life hack: most dishes can just be rinsed off directly after using them, especially if the only thing it's been in contact with is something watery and water soluble.

There is absolutely no need to wash a bowl you've had cereal in, just rinse it with hot water for a few seconds and you're done.

But if I were capable I'd immediately rinsing my dishes I wouldn't have a problem washing them.

I don't think it's the soap and scrubbing that's keeping these dishes from being washed immediately, it's the stopping what you're doing, stand up and bring the soak to the sink immediately that's stopping people. That said I WISH my husband would just Rinse things immediately. He is using the pan literally two feet away from the sink! Just turn and rinse it out while it's still hot!
