Left to my own devices, I let everything dry in the rack. Water marks be damned.

You are a woman after my own heart.

[white_hart]

Me too. I don't think drying up is a concept that has ever really existed in my world.

I want those cupboards that are also draining racks and you just stick the plates in. Or a dishwasher.

But how do you rinse out the sink, wipe down the draining boards, sterilise the washing-up cloths, rinse out the washing-up bowl and invert it over the draining racks with the sterlised (2 minutes in the microwave) cloths on the top?

Ditto. The only time I ever actively dry something is if I need to use it again immediately.

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

I try to adhere to this - it is an incentive to wash up while there is only one draining board's worth of stuff.

[aunty_marion]

Well, I don't 'put away', so things just go into the draining rack, and then get taken from there for re-use when needed. I have one large plate, two medium, three slightly smaller and three small, two saucers (for use as even smaller 'plates'), two bowls and oddments of other stuff that just live there permanently, pretty much. Mugs go on the windowsill.

Me too. I always used to get lumbered with the drying up as a child and I've always found it completely pointless. I am an expert drainer stacker at home.

Knowing where you can squeeze in extra plates is a great trick.

Yes! I mean, why do all the work of drying when the magic will happen entirely without effort? Just stick it in the rack.
