No Dirty Dishes Day probably arose out of frustration in some office cafeteria. Have you ever noticed that people tend to put dishes in the sink until they pile up when you don't live there? In the office lunchroom, this happens even faster.
Dirty dishes in the sink can be an annoying and unhealthful problem if left unattended. Dirty dishes, counters, and floors attract disease-carrying scavengers, including roaches, ants, flies, mice, and rats. Unattended dirty dishes can grow bacteria and mold, leading to allergies and sickness.
But even simply washing dishes is only sometimes enough.
Most home dishwashers cannot sanitize dishes, which means even though they may be clean to the eye, they still have germs and bacteria. To disinfect dishes, they must be rinsed with a disinfectant (like bleach or industrial chemical) or rinsed (or exposed to heat) for at least 10 seconds in water above 82 degrees Celsius or 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whether it is in your office break room or at home, pledge today to leave no dirty dishes in the sink or elsewhere. After all, it is the best way to celebrate the day.
