Three simple tips to follow to start over from scratch, and to prevent the cluttering of dishes:
- Wash all the dishes in your sink or on your counter tops at three different times of the day: the morning after kids drop off, consisting of breakfast dishes and dinner prep dishes.
- Mid-afternoon time- around 2 or 3, from any pile-up of cups, plates, sippy-cups or the like
- At night at around 8 p.m., or after your kids are in bed- but not too late, consisting of dinner dishes and any late-night snack cups or plates that may have piled up.
Good Luck. let me know how it goes!
