I think most people here use a dishwasher but if you don't, if you actually scrub the dishes by hand, what order do you do them in?
The way we grew up learning it was you put the plates and bowls and stuff in first, then the glasses, then the pots and pans, and then the silverware. Why this is, I don't know. Recently it occurred to me to soak and wash the pans first because they are always the worst, THEN I fill up the sink and put in the plates and silverware, then the glasses are usually last. Of course my brother hates it because he always has to put the pans away before I can get the rest of the stuff in the drain rack, but it works easier for me to get the dirtiest crap out of the way first.
