After eating, many people leave their dishes in the kitchen sink to wash them a few hours later, or even the next day.
Perhaps this approach is indeed convenient. And yet it is advisable to wash the plates immediately after the meal.
After all, leaving dirty dishes in the sink for a long time can lead to undesirable consequences.
Folk omens warn about this. And there is a rational explanation too.
Folk omens
If dirty dishes are left in the sink all night, a serious quarrel may occur in the family.
If the dishes were left by a lonely girl, then she may never be able to find love.
If a man is too lazy to wash the dishes on time, he may have serious problems in his professional activities.
All these beliefs have one explanation: in the dark, unwashed dishes attract evil spirits.
Rational explanation
Even those people who don’t believe in omens should wash their dishes right away.
The thing is that food residue will dry out and literally stick to dishes left in the sink for a long time.
In such a situation, it will be much more difficult to return the plates to cleanliness. The procedure will take much more time than usual.
