Whether you are partners, roommates or family members, frustration over washing-up duties is all too familiar. But, at the end of the day washing up after cooking and consuming food is an essential part of living so a settlement must be made.
Perhaps this important and essential chore deserves a house meeting where a rota can be drawn up. Plus, without being patronising remind people of the washing up rules (as per Good Housekeeping Institute) which are: "In hot, soapy water, follow this routine: 1. glasses, 2. mugs, 3. saucers, 4. side plates, 5. dinner plates, 6. cutlery, 7. serving dishes, 8. pans, 9. roasting tins."
