should i just buy new?

ok so i have been neglecting my cleaning duty, dishes wise for the past couple months(it may be over 5 months now im not sure,) im pretty sure some of the forks and spoons have been there for around 5 months which is bad. i am buckling down now and im starting to question these dirty dishes, should i just buy new stuff(im not spending alot just gonna get the cheap stuff like i usually do as im a male that lives alone) or is it safe to clean them and eat off them?

my dishes and cups and pots and pans are usually cleaned right away, i dont have a dishwasher and have no room for one, its just the utensiles that need to be cleaned or replaced.

    get a washing up bowl, fill with HOT soapy water and leave them to steep

    once the water is cold, replace and allow to steep again

    this time when the water is still hand hot, give them a good scrub, they will come good

    from now one, when you are done eating put your dishes and utensils in water, even if you cant wash them straight away, it will keep food stuffs soft and easily washed off

    Just remember when you question these so-called "dirty dishes" that water boarding and torture are not being condoned by the U.S. Government. So, don't get caught doing this.
