Default Washing up.

Should I do the plates first and w**k backwards in size until I've finished the flat, disc-shaped items including saucepan lids, then move onto the cups, finishing with the saucepans and cutlery/utensils?

When I GET to the cutlery/utensils, should I place the blades downwards in the drainer ( to minimise the risk of injury to a ******* stupid **** who shouldn't be interfering with the washing up) or upwards (in order to keep the parts of the tools that are in contact with the food away from the bacteria-infested dribblings that collect in the drainer-pocket).

I don't know how I manage without the advice I get off Scoobynet.

I put plates on the bottom rack with the cups, the cutlery in the basket and the pans and utensils on the top rack. Close the door, select "2" and press "On"

Start with the cutlery, then work your way through the dishes starting with the big plates and work your way down in size.

I would stand the cutlery with the eating bits pointing upwards.

I would most definitely leave the saucepans until last.

That's how I'd do it anyway.

People with dishwashers are lazy.

Would you also suggest the traditional soaking of the saucepans?

All depends how long you've left them before you wash them.

Well you should think yourself lucky that we are here to help!

Safety first, sharp objects pointing down, it's up to YOU to ensure no contamination is passesd to the blades or prongs. Wash the cutlery drainer occasionally, FFS

With reference to your first question, it's true in this particular case that size is indeed unimportant. Cleanest items first, and don't be afraid to give the dirtier pots a wipe into the bin first with some kitchen roll. There's nothing worse than finding a piece of rice from last Tuesday's curry in your cottage pie.

He trails them in the sea for a few nautical miles until the bits have either fallen off or been nibbled off by tiny marine crustacea, then dries them off with a quick wipe under the armpit of his nautical Damarts.

Default Urgent advice needed please - as in right now...

Hutch has just started leaking uncontrollably - how the fek do I stop it? Mrs was cleaning the hutch and must be due to some cleaning fluid getting in the catch somewhere?

Any ideas before the muppets get comfortable and burn NSR down
