Definitely get a dishwasher. They also tend to use way less water than hand-washing.
Babe I rent and don't even have a garbage disposal
I don’t have a garbage disposal. I’ve never even seen one in real life. I think they’re just not a thing in Canada. I’ve only heard of them from TV shows (where they always seemed extremely dangerous).
I just realized what a jerk I was! I asked for advice and you gave advice and I was snarky! I'm sorry
No worries! I don’t think you’re a jerk! Your landlord is a jerk for not providing a dishwasher!
Haha damn ok in America that is a very big deal you would have been shook. I'm used to it now but it is nice to clear up small build up.
They aren't actually dangerous but I think most people have some irrational fear about them regardless lol
ETA I just realized what a jerk I was. I forgot I asked for advice. You gave advice and I was sparky
I'm curious what this means. I'm in my mid-30s, grew up in the US, and have never had a garbage disposal either. My childhood home had a garden and a compost pile, so that's where food waste always went. Then I moved into apartment life. The only time I ever saw a garbage disposal was when my ex's mom insisted that we had one in our apartment (which was a condo my ex was renting from her.) She said, "It's under the sink!"
Yeah. It was under the sink: still in a box, uninstalled. Even after she learned that, she still didn't bother having someone install it. That was the only time in my life where there was (technically) a garbage disposal in the place I lived.
Countertop dishwashers are a thing.
I've bought a small "portable" dishwasher for my rental apartment some years back. It fit in the cupboard below my sink.
All it needs is power, cold water and a drain access. The latter two can easily be forked off your sink.
Maybe that's an option for you, too.
If it helps, you can get mini dishwashers that sit on the worktop. Some of them you don't even need to plumb in. I had one when I was living in an apartment and it was amazing. Just put everything in, fill it up with 3-4 jugs of water (the jug came with it), and put the drainage pipe in the sink. I let it run overnight and had clean dishes in the morning!
