Be honest. Do you do the dishes right after every meal?

Normal stuff goes in the dishwasher. Running it a lot more now that we're home full time.
I clean pots, pans, etc when dinner is done unless I can clean up while something is cooking.

What the heck? Do people just store filthy dishes in their dishwashers for days?
I'm honestly curious. Dishwasher machines are not a thing in my country.
My wife cooks, I do the dishes and clean the kitchen every night after dinner. I also do dishes throughout the day after breakfast and lunch as needed.
We use the dishwasher as much as possible as it's more efficient at using water, but some things I wash by hand (pots, pans, knives, etc.).

I live alone n absolutely hate dishes. I use paper plates + plastic forks/spoons. I also ask the women im seeing in my life to do them for me when they come over. I've had my new place since feb and I've washed my own dishes 4-5 times. Every other time one of 5 others have done it.
We put all our dishes into the dishwasher and run the dishwasher every other day or so when it fills up.
Using your dishwasher saves a TON of water vs. washing dishes individually by hand.

Yeah. We cook most of the time so whatever doesn't fit in the dishwasher gets hand washed. I absolutely abhor seeing dirty kitchens / messy homes so I definitely have it cleaned up within an hour of a meal.

I'm militant about it. I'm the fastest eater, so I'm scooping up lefovers, condiments etc while everyone else is still eating. We use dishwasher, but my rule is to rinse everything under hot water before placed in there. Stuff is more or less clean when it goes in. Outside of soaking pans occasionally, I never want anything sitting in the sink. Ever
Just get it done and over with is my mantra.

Yes. It is absolute madness to not just do the dishes right there on the spot. What is the actual benefit of them building up in the sink or hanging around? Especially if you're doing meals for a family - which tends to generate a lot of things to wash. Dish build up only makes it 100x harder to do the dishes either by hand or by machine - you get overloaded and you lose the war.
It's pretty common, yeah. People typically rinse their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, so it's not quite as filthy as you imagine. But it's still dirty dishes sitting there for a few days sometimes.
I "do the dishes" as in stick them in the dishwasher after we're done eating. If the dishwasher is running, we just stick the dishes above it until it's done and emptied.
Cleaning as you go will save you lots of time later. I try to never leave any dirty dishes in my sink overnight, but that's because when I do the roaches come out to party.
🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ I'm very lucky. Plus I hate fucking dishes man. Every woman I talk to knows about it fairly early. I used to be a dishwasher at Golden Corral. I had my fill.
Either all of them, or all the ones I could easily do while cooking, then the remainder for a little later.
no, but i move around a lot, so i only own 2 sets of dishes at a time. that way i'm forced to wash them when i run out, but i can be lazy for a day at least if i need to, and i have just enough for a date just in case
I try to do after every meal but sometimes I get lazy and it devolves to once a day/every other day
I try to. I like the dishes to be done and dealt with sooner rather than later. This was a point of conflict for me and my current partner because she is cool to just leave them all day. I always hand wash them too, despite having a dishwasher. I don't like waiting for it to be full enough to run, and as there's only two of us, it's quicker to just wash what we use after we used it
I voted yes because 99% of the time, yep, after every meal. What I usually do is fill up the washing up bowl with very very hot water, drop everything in, eat my food, then once I'm done go wash the stuff that was soaking, wash the plates and cutlery used, and all is done.
