Did you know that people in Germany don't rinse their dishes to remove detergent?
They do this not only to save on water bills.
We'll tell you why Germans wash dishes differently than we do.
How to wash dishes in Germany
The Germans close the sink with a special plug and fill it with water about two-thirds.
Then all the dishes are loaded into the sink and washed with a small amount of detergent.
Finally, the dishes are rinsed in the same water and put out to dry. Since only a little detergent is used, after drying, the dishes can simply be wiped with a towel.
This habit of the Germans is connected not only with their thriftiness, but also with their careful attitude towards water resources.
