A little trick: I wear glasses. Sometimes I wash them. (ahem.) When I do, I try to hold them over a dirty dish that will hold even a little extra water. More soap than a person needs always comes out of the bottle, so the water that rinses off into the dish can be used to do, oh, say one more dish, which I hold over another dish while I wash it, and gee, I could put all the silverware in a pan and it would be filling with hot water and this extra soap, and I could wash them....It's not good for a whole sink of dishes, but it's something...and it could lead to a burst of dishwashing.
