When I first saw this title, I thought it was a trick title for a book that was about something else entirely! However, since I wash the dishes almost everyday, I was sure I could learn something from it.

There are tons of tips and tricks on how to do a proper job of cleaning your plates and cutlery. Everytime I apply moisturiser to my hands and put on and take off my gloves effortlessly, I thank the author for mentioning the very useful tip in his book! Ha!

Seriously, for every person who has to do the dishes often, the info provided in this book will serve you well for the rest of your life! I'll bet you'll discover some useful dishwashing detail that you never knew about.

I do wish though that there had been more illustrations and less words, so that some ideas can just be glanced at rather than read.

Thank you Netgalley and Roost Books for the ARC. This is my honest opinion.

This is a very useful book if you want to improve your washing-up. Mine seems to need more work
according to the book. When I have more time, I will write lists of what I should buy and study this again.
The author also suggests ways to relax while washing-up.

I received this ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.a

A book about everyone's least favorite chore shouldn't be charming, but this absolutely is. I think this might become my official odd but sweet graduation gift from now on, because in addition to offering excellent instructions on how to wash the dishes (no, REALLY), it's a beautiful meditation on staying mindful in the moment.

The book was and was not what I thought it would be. Yes, the author really does take the time to tell you how to wash dishes, but each instruction could be viewed as a metaphor for life. Mindfulness, cleanliness, order, ease vs. chaos, clutter. difficulty, annoyance. I might better remember the book as "First, Enlightenment. Then, the dishes."
Really, the book is what you make it. It can be a nice gift for someone graduating from college and going out on their own, or for someone who practices Zen, or for someone who loves cooking and spends most of their time in the kitchen. For me, the book is a manual for mindfulness, for PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Be in the moment. Concentrate. Be effective. Enjoy....

My thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Have you ever hated doing the dishes? Does it fill you with dread to walk into the kitchen the morning after dinner? Well this book is for you. It takes the presser off of you when it comes to doing the dishes. It helps us feel good about what we accomplish, even if we only do one glass.
