I'm looking for ways to greatly reduce the hassle of doing the dishes, and I thought if everybody in my family had only one set of dishes each (one cup, plate, bowl, knife, fork, spoon etc.) that they just rinsed and used again, that it would be a lot easier. I'm just wondering if this would be adequate washing for hygienic purposes (i.e. avoiding food poisoning etc.)?
PS. How about water efficiency?
Thanks.

nope, soap eliminates food deposits that carry bacteria more effeciently. either buy disposables or buy a dishwasher.

Hmmm...this sounds familiar. My sons came up with a similar proposal when they didn't want to take their turn at doing the dishes. To answer your question, No, rinsing won't meet hygienic standards. Food has to be thoroughly removed. Each person standing in line to rinse is going to use a lot of water. Who will clean the pots and pans used to cook the food? Or are you all going to cook in your own personal mess kits? Fill the dish pan with soap and water and do the dishes. If you do it faithfully after meals and don't let the stuff pile up for days, it only takes seven minutes.

No it is not. Dishes must be washed properly.
Buy Styrofoam plates if washing is such a issue. Then just through them away. You can do the same thing for the cups also plastic forks, knives and spoons all disposable. Hope this helps.

NO, not hygienic at all.. Same reason we wash our bath towels a couple times per week, eventhough just u using it......bactria and germs build up. Better to set us a schudle for every to take turns washing dishes in hot soapy water.

No, I do not think that just rinsing the dishes would proper clean and sanitize them. Germs would remain and contaminate the next food placed on the dishes. Also yiu would use alot more water.

Why not just let your dog lick them clean?
You have to wash them with soap and water and rinse well!

no this is not. In order to properly sanitize your dishes you should put a capful of bleach in your dishwater. And then let them air dry.

Well if you think about the fact that your common household detergents kill the AIDS virus, & Hepatitis & various other stuff, I would be more worried about preventing illness within my family than trying to save water or housework!

sorry, you gotta wash them. I actually use clorox hard surface disinfectant during cold season. I spray them and let it dry. Then I wash them.
