The important "sharing of housework" in dual -income households can rather cause the couple's big.One of the housework that is particularly easy to get to the customs of each household and is likely to pass each other is "dishwashing".What are the solutions to proceed with daily dishwashing efficiently and without stress?

Tableware washing is communication.but……

8:00 pm on Wednesday.The Shuto and his wife living in Tokyo stood in the kitchen together.The laughter of the two resonates with the sound of the dishes.When his wife, Yoshiko (30), gives her dishes washed, her husband, Yudai (29), wipes it and goes to the cupboard.It's been a habit that has completely permeated my body since my marriage.

The Shigeto and his wife both live full -time.On weekdays, the one who returns home makes a meal, and the other is to wash the dishes.Today, Yudai made dinner, so she was in charge of the dishwashing.When washing dishes, the rules decided by the couple are determined by the couple in which the meals have entered the support and put them on the cupboard.

"In my home, there is no drainer rack next to the sink for space -saving space. So it is more efficient to wash it as soon as it is washed."(Mr. Yoshiko)

However, even if the Shigeto and his wife and his wife may have a mistake over the dishwashing.Yudai says, "When my wife washes the dishes, the foam of the detergent often remains, and I have to wash it again. When I continue many times, I say," The bubbles remain. "Speak.

"I'm worried that water is scattered in the sink while washing the dishes. I don't like the sinks that get dirty, so I'm careful not to fly the water ...(Yudai -san)

On the other hand, Yoshiko feels that the timing of starting dishwashing is different with Yudai.

"I don't want to stick to dirt such as leftovers, so I want to wash it immediately after eating, but my husband wants to rest for a while after eating. When I can't wait and start to clear the dishes in the kitchen,My husband stands up like "Oh, I have to do it" (Mr. Yoshiko)

The environment that any couple grew up is different.At first glance, you tend to think that you just wash dishes, but "dishwashing" is one of the housework that is easy to produce habits in each family and can cause dissatisfaction between couples.In 2014, a survey of companies over the "housework harassment" was rippled, but in that survey, "dishwashing" was the first place in "housework that is likely to be bad from his wife".The Shigeto and his wife were very surprised after the marriage that the rules for washing their home were not commonplace for their partners.

The dishwasher penetration rate in Japan is less than 30 %

If you are dissatisfied with housework, you can rely on machines.However, in Japan, the penetration rate of dishwasher (hereinafter, dishwasher) is lower than in other countries.

"In the United States and Europe, most properties have built -in dishwashers in most properties. The property without a dishwasher is similar to a bath without bath in Japan. Compared to Western countries.And Japan can be said to be a "developed country in the dishwasher". "

This is what Tetsuto Fujiyama, a home appliance writer.

Cleaning power, water saving ... What are the benefits of a dishwasher?

In Western countries, the penetration rate of dishwashers exceeds 70 %.Mr. Fujiyama said, "Many Japanese people think that hand -washing and dishwasher detergency are equivalent or handwashed, but dishwashers are incomparable to handwashing.I will wash the dishes neatly. "

"First of all, the ingredients of the detergent used are very different between a dishwasher and a handwashing. Handwashing detergent is the main component of surfactants, while the dishwasher -only detergent removes tea astringent.It contains bleaching agents, rice grains, etc., enzymes that break down proteins, and alkali agents that float oil stains. "(Mr. Fujiyama).

The fact that the ingredients of the dishwasher -only detergent are not blended into the detergent for hand washing is because it causes rough hands.Dishwasher -only detergents do not directly touch their hands, so that they can formulate ingredients that specialize in removing more dirt.

"In addition, the dishwasher is washed with tableware with hot water of 70 to 80 ° C., so the dirt such as oil melts out and easily removes, and does not slimy the enamel and heat -resistant glass containers that preserve the construction.(Mr. Fujiyama)

It is also expected to have a water -saving effect.

"If you wash your hands, about 75 liters are used to wash the dishes of five family members once. On the other hand, in the case of a dishwasher, it depends on how you use the water, but it will circulate water, so rinse and rinse.It is said that it costs about 11 liters at a time, including "(Mr. Fujiyama).

Why is the dishwasher not so popular in Japan, despite these benefits?Mr. Fujiyama gives the following reasons.

Mr. Fujiyama says, "In recent years, the demand for built -in dishwashers has increased in Japan."The number of families introducing dishwashers as options for new houses and rental properties with dishwashers are increasing.This may be a sign that even among Japanese people who tend to feel guilty to leave the housework related to "food" to machines and others, the option of "solving the burden of housework with money" has begun to take root.。

Various services that are spreading, reducing housework burden

According to a survey by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the scale of the EC market for food, beverages, and alcohol has expanded from 1,191.5 billion yen to 1.450.3 billion yen between 2014 and 2016.It is said that this growth is dedicated by the net supermarket.In the e -commerce market in the product sales field, the market is the second largest after "clothing, clothes miscellaneous goods, etc." as of 2016.

In addition, the “cooking kit”, which receives recipes and ingredients that have been prepared as a set, is also strong in the background of the increase in dual -working families and working women.The Kit Oisix, provided by Oisix Dot Earth, has exceeded 6 million kits in the series as of the end of June 2017 since its launch in 2013.

The housework support service market is also expanding.According to a survey conducted by Nomura Research Institute in 2014, the recognition rate of housework support services is 70 %.On the other hand, in the survey, 3 % have actually been used.The first place in the reason not to use the housework support service is "because there is resistance to entering the house" (47 %).In addition, "because there is resistance to leaving other people to housework" (37 %) is also the top answer.Even in housekeeping related to the same "food", the psychological resistance may be greatly different from the fact that luggage arrives at the front door and that people enter the house and leave cooking.

The idea of managing housework

Columnist Momosezumi, a main theme of living and lifestyle, says that he should change his ideas about housework.That's why the idea of "housework management" is proposed.

"My wife has been required to be a" housework craftsman ", but now it should be a" housework manager ". With the help of external services and home appliances, everyone in the family.Creating a mechanism that can handle the same way will help you resolve troubles related to housework "(Momose -san).

However, the time it takes to wash dishes is 20 minutes per time.For that reason, many people hesitate to buy tens of thousands of yen.

"The most easy to realize after introducing a dishwasher is that it will be easier to feel. Certainly, the time to wash the dishes may be about 20 minutes, but the dishes to be washed in the sink will be left in the sink.If you do, you will always have the stress of "must be washed" in one corner of your head. In the case of dual working, I think that eliminating mental burden will be a big advantage, especially more than time. "

Many people would like to spend time with couples and families after dinner.The only survey conducted by Panasonic, which manufactures and sells desktop -type dishwashers, for about 2,700 married men and women in their 30s and 40s in April this year, more than half of the dual -working women after dinner.The result is that the cleaning is burdensome.It is presumed that this "burden" includes not only the physical burden on the work but also the mental burden.

According to the company, the detergency of dishwashers has a high degree of satisfaction, with more than 90 % or more, but some have said that they will feel burden on tasks such as putting on dishes.Against this background, the new model released in November has been changed to a design that suppresses the irregularities of the basin inside the dishwasher, making it easier to set dishes, and is also called a "nameless housework."We are also focused on reducing the burden on housework, which is hard to be recognized and tends to be biased to either couple.It is equipped with a function to reduce the cleaning work of the filter that accumulates, such as rice grains, which was previously necessary, to about once a week.

Tips for shared housework using a dishwasher

Of course, the introduction of a dishwasher does not solve all the passing of couples over dishwashing.

"First of all, when purchasing a dishwasher, we recommend that you choose together with a couple. If you step on the process of" choosing and buy it yourself ", it is easy to create a sense of" under your own territory. "Because it tends to increase the frequency of use "(Momose -san)

Momose says that it is most important in sharing the burden of housework, "acknowledge each other's way."

"Both my wife and my husband will let go of the commitment to share housework when I need it in my own way. The introduction of new tools such as home appliances is a good reason to reconsider how to work on housework.It will be. At that time, it is important to leave it to the other person's method and timing. "(Momose -san)

In order to successfully share housework to success, share the way of thinking and method of housework between the couple.If you do housework, your family is a partner who manages it.Finding an efficient and comfortable way to perform missions seems to be the first step to solve the passing.
