Save water when washing dishes

| Updated Mar 25, 2018

One of the things RVers need to conserve is the water they use. About the only time you don’t have to be concerned about water usage is when hooked up to city water and sewer in a big campground.

But when boondocking or traveling, especially in a Class B or C motorhome, you can only carry so much in your fresh water tanks. And those grey tanks are also limited in how much dish or shower water.

So how do you conserve?

There are lots of ideas. We’ve talked about many of them here in the podcast over the years.

But a reader named Bill suggested a way to really cut back on water usage when washing dishes.

Bill’s suggestion is to use cleaning vinegar, put in a spray bottle, mixed 50-50 with water. Then spray it on the dishes and use a paper towel. Bill gives the details in an audio report on episode 156 of our RV Podcast.

Thanks, Bill.
