Quick tip for dishes without a dishwasher…
I mean what tip can I tell you. Washing dishes is definitely not my fav. BUT I can tell you one thing ☝️ My husband and kids. If you dirty a dish and put it in the sink, make sure you run that water on your dirty dish so that food doesn’t get stuck when I go a wash dishes. 🤨😌 #simplelifehacks
