Developing a Concept During the tests between the American and British sink, I noticed both the processes involved hot water, just like any other washing process, whether mechanical or manual. Why is hot water needed? Most importantly, what happens to water wasted while waiting for it to heat up? In both processes 3.4 L were spent just heating up the water and this happened in my own kitchen where the boiler is right there and therefore the waiting is minimal compared to larger houses. With that in mind I started developing a concept where that water could effectively become part of the process.
1 - Fill a container with the water used while waiting for it to heat
2 - Once the hot water is coming out fill 1/3 of sink
4 - Rinse with water inside the container
5 - Place the dishes in the drying rack
Why use Hot Water?
- Easier and faster to remove dirt - Kills bacteria and microorganisms - More effective with grease removal - Faster to dry
3 - Add liquid and wash the dishes
