A goddamn dishwasher. I used to wash a lot of dishes by hand growing up so it took until my 30's before i realized that dishwashers are a wonderful invention.
If you haven't watched technology connections on dishwashers, you should use powder or liquid detergent, not pods. The pods don't add anything to the pre rinse cycle. You should also run your tap on hot until hot water comes out before you start the dishwasher. The pre-rinse cycle uses very little water and the dishwasher is connected to the hot water supply on your sink. It might not actually get hot water at all if you don't.
I read this in Alec's voice.
My dishwasher broke and for a year, our dishes got progressively ickier and ickier. Then we got a new one and everything felt clean again.
Maybe it was all mental. But the hot wash kills a lot.
