But you should not despair, because our grandmothers and mothers somehow coped with the washing of dishes and without new -fangled synthetic means. For example, you can use hot water, soda or mustard, in which they first wash glasses and mugs, cutlery, plates and, finally, pots. Then rinse everything with warm water and wipe with a towel. Glass dishes should be washed in water of any temperature with a slight addition of vinegar or vinegar essence.
