Very similar here, but in any dish that comes to hand and I don't save it.
I really think people are nuts these days. We have machines that wash
things better than ever before in history so we raise the bar and say "Well,
OK, but we can't wash this with that." An artist friend introduced me to
Napisan, a diaper disinfectant as a dish towel soak. It removes stains and
germs all at once. It's an important little tip because it is the ONLY
domestic thing she knows. DH does all the rest, but didn't care enough
about the stained towels. I call that a cool couple.
