Sometimes, due to lack of time or fatigue, you have to leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight.
However, the habit of leaving unwashed dishes until the morning can lead to unpleasant consequences.
Three reasons not to do this
Various microbes and bacteria will begin to multiply on dirty dishes.
And getting rid of them won't be that easy. Rinsing alone won't do in such a situation.
As a result, bacteria can settle in the sink and on rags. Therefore, it is advisable to pour boiling water over the dishes.
Also, the dirt on the dishes will dry overnight. To get rid of it, you will have to put in more effort or use special products.
In addition, if you regularly leave dirty dishes in the kitchen, this can attract various insects, including cockroaches.
Signs and beliefs
There are also some superstitions associated with unwashed dishes.
It was believed that dirty dishes attract negativity and spoil the energy in the house.
This, according to beliefs, also affects relationships between family members.
There is also an opinion that unwashed dishes affect financial flows, scaring away well-being and success.
Feng Shui teachings suggest that dirty cups promise failure in business, but dirty spoons and forks promise unpleasant situations in communication with people.
