I just ran across this collection of opinions and I never knew such a habit existed in western countries. Not completely hygienic if you ask me, as the sponges and brushes also spread whatever is on the dishes into the soapy water bowl.

Other women choosing this doesn't force anyone else to, I don't get the complete lack of respect for people's decisions and lack of understanding that different people enjoy different things.

I find the people most upset are usually the bitter ones who want to be traditional but can't/won't. I've lived in the UK for the past 25 years but have also lived in many other countries including Eastern Europe and Asia. I try to save as much water as possible and when rinsing I use cold water even tho it freezes the bones of my fingers!Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.
