We recently had a young friend "house-sit" our home while we were out of town. He did the dishes for me, bless his heart, but we don't have a dishwasher. When I picked up the dishes he had "washed," I was disappointed to feel a film of grease on each one. I had to rewash the whole bunch.
Since he is now living on his own, in a little apartment with no dishwasher, I sat him down and taught him how to properly wash dishes. It was a little embarrassing for him to realize that he didn't know how, but I didn't want him to make himself sick eating off of dirty dishes!!! He had grown up with a dishwasher, and didn't have a clue that his dishes weren't clean enough to stay healthy.
