Our B&B evolved from our "weekend" home. Subsequently, we have a small galley kitchen and wash everything by hand. Our cottages are 100 yards from the main cabin. It's much easier to wash everything in situ than to lug it back and forth.Samster said:I put everything into the dishwashers, including the glass coffee maker carafes, when folks checked out.

That's why you don't use a lot of bleach in the rinse water. It's a 'sanitizing' amount. And then the dishes have to be air dried.

We do not have a dishwasher other than DH. We use a plastic tub for our third sink. Per the Health Dept videos - 1 tablespoon of water per one gallon or TEPID (lukewarm) water.

Well...if this guy claims you can get "homestyle" cooking from the warmer plate of a coffee maker...it makes me a little sad for what he associates with "homestyle cooking."cooking with a coffee pot - I'll have to explore that website some more. My sister's well water will not go thru a coffee filter -too many minerals. they have to use bottled water for their coffee making. :-(.

Depending on your water quality, you'll still have to wipe them down to remove water spots. So, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.Morticia said:That's why you don't use a lot of bleach in the rinse water. It's a 'sanitizing' amount. And then the dishes have to be air dried.
