When washing a sink full of dishes, consider the order in which they should be done. Once you've filled your sink with soapy water, wipe down your counters first. Next, wash the glasses while the water is still relatively clean. Then, wash the plates, bowls, silverware & random utensils. Before you wash the pots & pans, spray the microwave oven & stovetop with a degreaser, then wipe them thoroughly. Finally, wash those pots & pans, adding more detergent & hot water if necessary. Everything is easier when there's a method to the madness.
