  • Plastic bowls in sinks. A water receptacle in a better functioning water receptacle. And it inevitably gets filled with teaspoons, mugs and dirty water.

  • Been using them all my life, washing up in my GF's place without was a nightmare.
    Use it to hold dirty stuff before washing, take out dirty stuff, then fill with soapy water, wash and refill as you feel. Empty food strainer into food waste container.
    Empty (scraping any food detritus into food waste container) refill with clean water, rinse dishes, leave to dry, empty water into sink, use that water to clean sink if required.

    I suppose it depends on whether you wash and then towel dry dishes, or if you rinse and air dry.
    I find washing dishes in a sink without a plastic bowl, a heinously dirty affair, and can't stomach it..

  • use it to hold dirty stuff before washing, take out dirty stuff

    I guess this is the crux of what I object to. Coming to fill a kettle up and not being able to fit it under the tap for dirty crockery. Then again, my rental kitchen is tiny, so we have to stay pretty on-it for washing up or we quickly run out of space in the sink or surfaces.
