Doing dishes is like washing your clothes. You’re just going to use the same dishes and clothes over and over again, and they are going to keep getting dirty. Just like your clothes, though, if you don’t wash your dishes regularly, you’ll eventually run out of clean ones to use. Also, washing dishes in your Alachua apartment helps prevent them from acquiring bacteria and contamination, which keeps you from getting a foodborne illness. Dirty dishes also can result in unwanted pests and odors in your home.

Yes, it may be a pain to wash dishes, but it’s definitely worth it. So, getting into a habit of washing dishes every day will help to keep you healthier, keep your apartment cleaner, and your dishes ready for use.

Follow these helpful ideas to make washing dishes in your Alachua apartment more of an enjoyable experience:

• Keep a dishpan full of clean, soapy water in your sink where you can place dishes that need to soak.
• After they soak, pre-wash dishes and place them in your dishwasher as soon as possible. This will help to prevent a dish monster from forming in your kitchen sink.
• Unload the dishwasher immediately after it has finished its cycle. This way the dishwasher is available for more dishes right away.
• If you use about the same amount of dishes every week, designate a specific time or two during the week to run your dishwasher.

Remember that, if you ever have a problem with your dishwasher, the maintenance staff here at One 51 Place is here to help you. Just give the office a call and submit a maintenance request.
