Can Cold Water Clean Dishes? This is for all the germ conscious folks who worry about using cold water to clean.

John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Saskatchewan After spending a great evening chatting the night away, the next morning John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, 'Are these plates clean?'

His grandfather replied, 'They're as clean as cold water can get 'em. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!' For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates, as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, 'Are you sure these plates are clean?' Without looking up the old man said, 'I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!'

Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. John yelled and said, 'Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car'. Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted! 'Coldwater, go lay down now, yah hear me!' Meet Coldwater!

Have a fabulous STRESS FREE day! PLEASE DO YOUR PART! Today is one of the many National Mental Health Days throughout the year. You can do your bit by remembering to send an e-mail to at least one unstable person. My job is done!

I'm sending this so a couple of my friends who need to laugh. I used to have a Coldwater dog, who thought it was his job to clean the plates that were loaded in the dishwasher. I miss my Yukon.

I like it!

LOL.. that was a good one. Thanks for sharing.

Cute story! Have also heard it where the dog is named "Two Rivers"~

Ewwww!

Ow wow! Didn't expect that! Here I'm thinking yeah it does work as my hot water heater died and been using col water just not the furry type!!

so cute.

That is funny! It reminds me of the family that my first MIL told me about. After eating, they cleaned their plates with a slice of bread which they ate. Then they turned the plate upside down and left it for the next meal.

LOL...good one..:).

Ditto! :lol: :lol: :thumbup: Thanks for the laugh!

:thumbup:

OMG.. I totally didn't see the ending coming either.. lmbo..

While washing up my few dishes after supper,I thought
many years ago people washed dishes (and clothes) in the cold streams near their homes. No running water and no dish washers. They lived long lives then.

I was using scalding water and dish soap and rinsing in scalding water, too.

That's a riot!!!!!! "cold water" cleans our plates, too, but hot water gets its turn afterwards!!!!!!!!
