kitchen cleaning obsession

[Cinder & Smoke]

the unofficial stretch-in-the-dishwasher-and-get-as-many-licks-as-can-champs

My little Pomeranian/mix Mutt (during High School) used to "help" Mom with the dishes ...
An assistance that Mom couldn't STAND to observe or allow.

Now if MOM loaded the dishwasher, Lady din't even bother to check ... she KNEW that
Mom was a compulsive "dish rinser" and that not a smidgen of food would be left
clinging to a plate, dish, or tool when it was loaded in the dishwasher - by MOM.
She didn't really need the dishwasher ... her pre-rinse was as good as a wash!

But if my Sis or I was in charge of the pre-wash "rinse" in the sink and loading
of the d-washer ... then Lady had an extra meal commin up.
And of course WE knew that Lady could do a 100% Complete "pre-wash rinse"
that could pass Mom's dishwasher pre-run inspection.
The only trick was to buy enough TIME that Lady could get everything Lick-Rinsed
BEFORE Mom came in the kitchen and busted us!

WOE be unto us if Inspector Mom interrupted the dog-assisted rinse & load operation!
Gettin caught resulted in UN-loading everything and RE-rinsing - with HOT water.

I've always seen the both ends of the stick as far as kitchens are concerned, being a builder, I access a lot of peoples homes, and some kitchens I see are like as if they are straight out of a magazine they are that clean. But others are so filthy, that one wouldn't want to touch anything.
