i don't get running with water while washing, that wastes a lot more water. either fill the sink up or if you have a big dish in there like a mixing bowl or large pot, fill it up with hot soapy water. wash everything then rinse
but i hand wash cutting/chopping knives, pots/pans, baking supplies, appliances and other food prep gadgets/tools. cups, mugs, silverware, tupperware, plates/bowls and glass storage containers go in the dishwasher.

sorry, i'm on my reduce waste kick. that's creating so much extra waste when you can easily clean and reuse dishesThe second method with dish liquid is usually my way of cleaning dishes/silverware but I use plastic plates throughout the week so I don't have to worry about cleaning; rarely use my real plates etc unless it's for special occasions.
hmm, i definitely had more stuck on stuff in dishwashers growing up vs now. but i have a higher end dishwasher, i can put a burnt up pan in there and it comes out fine. i rinse or wipe things off before the dishwasher so it doesn't end up with a lot of particles backing it up, but i actually feel like dishwashers have gotten betterHand wash and then let the washer finish the job, they've purposely make dishwashers weaker now because we never had to pre wash any dishes in the 90s.

I have a habit of buying dish soap indiscriminately, the past few times have been with Ajax.... You got dirty water soup in 5 minutes 
The bubbles were overwhelming the entire wash. I looked down and thought one of them was giving me the
for a moment.
