Fun Holiday – No Dirty Dishes Day

Dirty dishes, they are part of life. A lot of time, money and energy is spent every day on washing and drying dishes and putting them away. This unofficial holiday with unknown origins encourages people to take a break from doing the dishes for the day and spend the time saved doing things for fun.

How to Celebrate?

• Wash all your dishes so that your sink and kitchen is all clean and sparkly.
• Or, don't wash any and pile them up. But remember, you will have to clean them sometime soon, even if you take a break today.
• Or use disposable dinnerware. Just remember to make sure they are environmental friendly.
• Make No Dirty Dishes Day even more fun by eating all your meals out - make dirty dishes someone else's problem for this one day!
• Hate doing the dishes day in and day out? Use this day to draw up a schedule and a plan for cleaning dishes every time you use them. That way, you'll never be stuck with a sink full of dirty dishes!
• If you don't own a dishwasher, maybe today is the day to get one installed. Make sure you get an energy efficient washer and that you use environmentally friendly detergent.
