I converted DH with the help of my Chilean friend who studied Food Science. All he had to do was point out that it's not just soap left on the dishes, it's little bits of food still in the bubbles that are left on, too.
Ick.
DJ is now an avid rinser!
This is what bothers me. It's not just soap bubbles, its the thought of bits of leftover food not adequately cleaned off.
True neither of these trace elements left on one's dishes will kill anyone nor even make you ill, really.
But it's simply an unsavory, unpalatable thought, to know that this nice little mix is on dishes that are supposed to be "clean."
To me, it's like this: What's the point in washing the dishes in the first place if it's okay that they still have on them not just food particles but in addition soap, to boot? By that reasoning, might as well just grab a paper towel, wipe 'em off right after eating and stick 'em in the cupboard as is, skipping washing altogether......
If you're going to wash them, why not rinse them and do the job to it's natural conclusion. You don't wash your hands with soap and then just towel them or walk away.
Just my feeling about it. It is true that there are far more gross things in the world, but this one is still gross in it's own small way.
