Campsites have a washing-up area. Outside, the rule is: as little water, soap and leftovers as possible, and none of it into any body of water.
Before
- Eat leftovers straight away or put them in the bin bag.
- Wipe the pan with kitchen paper or a piece of bread. That saves water and washing-up liquid.
- Soak pots in a little water straight after the meal.
The two bowl method
- One bowl with warm water and a drop of washing-up liquid, one with clear water.
- Wash the cleanest things first, the pots last.
- Rinse in the second bowl and leave to air dry.
Where does the dishwater go?
Pour it through a fine sieve, the leftovers go in the bin. On campsites and stopovers, the water goes down the drain or to the disposal station. Outside, and only where allowed: spread it widely at least 60 metres away from streams, lakes and springs, don't tip it all in one spot.
