What is the right water temperature for washing the dishes?

You don't necessarily need hot water to wash the dishes properly. Of course you cut through grease faster with hot water, but lukewarm water is just as thorough as well as more energy-efficient. There is no reason why you shouldn't generally do your dishes using lukewarm water and a splash of washing-up liquid, such as the Dishwashing Lotion Aloe Vera from Frosch.

How do I save water when washing dishes by hand?

To avoid doing the dishes under running water and using a lot of water, fill your sink with lukewarm water and add the recommended amount of washing-up liquid. Wash your dishes in the sink and briefly rinse them with cold water to remove soap residue.
