  • Dishwashers are not a thing where I live.

    I wash my dishes in at least two passes. First (optional) pass is to remove the gunk, no soap, as little water as possible. Second is to apply soap, with just enough water to wet the surface for the soap to work. Third pass is the rinse, and this is where most of the water consumption happens. I plug the sink, put the soapy dishes in the sink, and let the slightly soapy water from the current item fill it, making sure that the rest of the items consume as little water as possible even in this step.

    I think for an after dinner washing for a family of four, I take around 10 minutes for the entire thing.

    I try to reach from different directions:

    • upper left (using my left hand)
    • upper right (using my right hand)
    • lower left (using my left hand)
    • and lower right (using my right hand).

    For the regions I missed, I have a soapy mesh/loofah thing held by some kind of rope on both ends and with both hands, I use it to reach the unreachable areas:

    • left hand upper and right hand lower, loofah going diagonally (like this: \)
    • right hand upper and left hand lower, loofah going diagonally (like this: /)
    • both hands lower, loofah going horizontal (like this: )

    I suppose that should be enough, but I only do that once a week. For the rest of the week, I just reach as far as I can and let the soapy water do what it can.
