Dry your dishes before putting them away
This is a scene everyone is familiar with. You finish dinner, and although the only thing you want to do is go to sleep, there is still a massive pile of dishes waiting to be washed. You summon all the willpower you have left to wash them, but then leave them piled up and wet on the counter. We are sorry to say this, but you should get them to dry and put them away before going to bed.
Pooled water is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, and you would not want your freshly cleaned dishes to get contaminated again. That is why you should make sure that you put them away one hundred percent dry, and whatever you do, do not place them inside a cupboard while they are still damp.
