1. How do you handle dirty dishes?
-
They always go straight into the dishwasher. I have 2+ dishwashers, so there's always room.1
-
Straight into the dishwasher unless it's already running. Then they go in the sink.38

They pile up on the counter until after meal prep or meal. Then they get put in dishwasher or washed by hand.19

They pile up in the sink until meal prep or meal is done. Then they're dealt with.45

They pile up on the counter or in the sink all day until it's our designated washing time.21

They pile up on the counter until the spirit moves someone to deal with them. The spirit moves us at least once daily.38
-
They pile up until there are no clean dishes left, and then someone will reluctantly wash them.3
-
Even when there are no clean dishes left, we'll rinse or wash one or two to get by, and leave the rest for later. Later will come in a day or two.7

They'll pile up until company is coming; then we'll do something about them.0

We don't use reusable dishes. It's disposables here, so they pile up in the garbage.0

Other. (Really? Please tell! I thought I got all the possibilities, but maybe not!)21

2. What's the longest that dirty dishes pile up at your home (when you're not ill)?
-
Never. I'm one of those people with multiple dishwashers.1
-
Never. If the dishwasher is running, we'll hand wash whatever is dirty.9
-
Never. We handwash everything immediately.5
