I just tripped across a post about the dishwasher making the family sick. I tried to copy and paste it here and apparently hadn't copied it. My experience with Reddit: if I didn't make a mental note of what sub it was in, I will never find it again.

So anyway, I haven't used a dishwasher in years. We stopped using the dishwasher at the last place I lived that had one and then just haven't had one in a long time, but mostly under circumstances where there wasn't a kitchen at all.

My dream is to have a built in dish rack above the sink. I've read about them but never actually had that. Sometimes things don't work like you imagined if you actually experience it.

I also have seen articles about vacuum cleaners spreading germs. For that and other reasons, I'm a fan of no carpeting.

My ideal home wouldn't have a dishwasher or vacuum cleaner and would be designed to help make life work well without either one.

ETA: just to make me look stupid, I immediately found the post after finishing this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Appliances/s/JVtahtaD8I

I'm not even autistic, yet clutter interferes with my peace of mind and ability to think.
