That's a terrible ineffective method, and a waste of water.

Fill one sink with hot water + soup, put as much dishes in it as possible to soak them, and fill the other sink with fresh hot water. Clean one dish after another, preferably with a brush (you'll burn your hands using a sponge), rinse them in the clean water, and put them on the dryer.

If you do not have a second sink, use a tub for either purpose.

And yes, the water will get dirty and cool over time, and you'll have to switch if you've got too much dishes.

Of course, if you're only cleaning a plate and a knife and perhaos a glas, using just the tap is far more efficient.

But the water is dirty. All this dirt you cleaned is there, in your water, floating, clinging to whatever comes close.

Watch a video on how soap works in water and dishes to get them clean. Funny shit reading your confusion.

No, you don't use dirty water, you use clean water.

Furthermore, the dirt does not cling to your dishes – it dissolves in the water, aided by soap. If it would cling to the dishes, you wouldn't be able to rinse it off, either.

Interesting once I figured out he doesn't know how soap works on the grime of dishes. Almost like it was invented to overcome this exact problem.

Hahaha funny shit.
