Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re ?Dishwashers/ updates?

[Kathryn Lowry (kathryn.lowry]

I’ve heard multiple residents at Daybreak question the sanitizer.  It seems
to support the meal program well, but not well-enough that there hasn’t
been a recent push for BYO dishes and Take and Wash Your Own Dishes at
potlucks.

I’m guessing the sanitizer rather than the dishwasher likely attributes to
more dishes disappearing in day-to-day use.

I know I’m not the only resident who finds that the sanitizer +
no-dish-left-behind expectation makes it easier to just bring dishes we use
in common areas back to in-unit dishwashers for cleaning.

And the sanitizer combined with child activity seems to cause
significant anxiety for some of our elders.
