Someone asked about washing up Turkish style. Myra in fact asked on the essays page. Instead of responding there, I thought I would just post a topic about it. I am sure everyone will find it totally fascinating! *tongue in cheek*
Maybe other cultures do it the same way, but I only know about Turkish and English styles.

Generally in England, if you haven't got a dishwasher people tend to fill a sink or big washing up bowl with hot bubbly water and sling everything in and then give em a good scrub take the items out put them on the side and dry them on a tea towel.

In Turkey, you lavishly squirt dishwashing liquid on to a sponge. YOu then soap everything all over, and when you have finished, rinse everything under hot water and leave to dry. This is just in keeping with the Muslim culture of washing everything in running water. I particularly like the part where you don't have to dry up the dishes. When you think about it, it makes good sense, why do we dry clean dishes on bacteria infested tea towels?

So that's it folks, washing up Turkish style. No prizes for guessing who taught me how to do this! Off ya...

well,there r dishwasher in many homes,but our women trust their hands more then washers,so washers very pleased to be lazy in many Turkish homes

Cleaning and washing,these r most important parts of their life of traditional Turkish womenmachines sits and they works

but when i went to turkey last year, i was staying with apo and his family.
i did the washing up one morning, just how lyndie explained the turkish style there, and apo's mum puchsed everythng back into the sink after i had done it, and told me it was wrong!!! she then re did it (exactly the same way) and made me stand there and watch her!! :'(

hehe,Turkish mums likes to teach everything to youngs,even if they do it correct

well,hard questions for to answer,but as if thats behaviour of her smells a bit jeolusy
