Can Cold Water Clean Dishes?

Can Cold Water Clean Dishes?



This is for all the germ conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean.


John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Georgia .

After spending a great evening chatting the night away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, "Are these plates clean?"

His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!"

For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"

Without looking up the old man said, "I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!"



Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. John yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog w on't let me get to my car."

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted..."COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN!!!!"

ArtMan,

I am sure that means that you liked it? lol

scott cummingIArtMan Friday, February 23, 2007 7:10:44 PM

yes... i was taken by surprise. i've washed a lot of camp dishes in coldwater, so i was taken in... then the dog made me laugh again.

by the way... "laughed out loud and rolled on floor til pissed in pants and cried uncontrolably"

Loiscakkleberrylane Friday, February 23, 2007 7:19:53 PM

Very funny!! We used to tease my mother like that. Telling her she didn't need to wash the dishes since the cat licked them clean. She would get sooooooooo disgusted!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, February 23, 2007 7:29:28 PM

Allan, lol !!!!

Actually, that is why I read it as well. ....I really wanted to know
if I could wash dishes in cold water!

Now I still don't know! faint

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, February 23, 2007 7:30:30 PM

Lois, heheheh, what a great story.

I remember letting the dog lick the plate when I was
a child, but now that is something that I would never
do, but I am sure that my children would. smile So funny!

devansdevans186 Friday, February 23, 2007 7:52:03 PM

This is great!
I do a lot of dishes at home and this reminds me that instead of rinsing the plates before placing them in the dishwasher, I save water by letting Murphy lick 'em.
Works well and they do get warshed with hot water.doh

I cleaned my dishes at the army with cold water, but this coldwater is really better and it's easier lol

You are wise woman......
I feel honored you mentioned it:)

galadriel Saturday, February 24, 2007 1:27:46 AM

Ewww!
I always clean things with cold water-the hot water tap in the kitchen takes too long to warm up-wouldn't want to waste water!

My uncle is always going on about how dogs are clean animals. He says the best thing to do if you cut yourself is to get a dog to lick it....apparantly they have 'disinfectant' things on their tongues. That's why they can eat bones that have soil and bugs all over them without getting sick.... I don't listen to him though hehe.

Oh loving the new picture of the tree up the top too!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Saturday, February 24, 2007 4:05:51 AM

Cleanclean Saturday, February 24, 2007 10:09:01 AM

I just thought ... given that we have a drought on over here ... that is actually starting to sound like a legitimate water-saving measure ... ! bigeyes

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Saturday, February 24, 2007 3:51:33 PM

Hi Aida, I know, the info seemed really legit
when i first begun to read it, lol.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Saturday, February 24, 2007 3:52:40 PM

David, Seems like there is drought everywhere. sad Here as well....

Just as they are trying to replace gas, maybe one day we will be
looking for ways to replace water...?

Cleanclean Saturday, February 24, 2007 11:35:27 PM
