How do you convince people to take dishwashing more seriously?
I have a malic acid allergy and swell up when in contact with various foods like Limes, or Strawberries.
My boyfriend’s mom has a penicillin allergy so feta cheese and my antibiotics which adds to the risk of contamination from dirty dishes, since I crush my meds up and put it in yogurt.
We don’t have a dishwasher so everything is done by hand, but the thing is that I’m the only one who actually makes sure the dishes are clean. I wash everything three times (once with a sponge and twice with bare hands to make sure there’s nothing left on the surface) with plenty of soap and hot water. When everyone else does it they brush the sponge across the surface once, maybe adding a little soap, then barely even rinse in lukewarm water before calling it good enough, then they put it in with the actually clean dishes which contaminates them all.
What can I do to convince everyone to either put more effort in or just let me do the dishes instead?
I feel so hopeless
