How to Wash Dishes

Run hot water in the sink with a squirt of washing-up liquid. If using a concentrated liquid, you will not need to squirt as much in. Use as high a temperature as you can comfortably tolerate, but don't scald yourself. The hotter the water, the better its sanitizing and grease-cutting properties. If possible, use dish gloves to protect your hands.
If you use a washing up bowl in the sink, it is easier and quicker to replace the water if it gets too dirty. It is also more hygienic if you use the sink for other things too.
Start with the cleanest things that need washing up, since they will dirty the water least. Particularly start with glasses, since they benefit most from hot, clean water.
Make sure you scrape as much of the food and muck as possible into the bin, rather than get your brush/sponge and water clogged with it.
Consider rinsing, or lightly washing, some things before putting them into the water. This is easiest if you have two sinks, or one sink with a washing up bowl, since you can tip the water away without mucking up your washing up water. For example, put a bit of hot water into a pan, swish it around with your brush and tip the water away.
People use different washing utensils, but they all have their advantages and problems. Consider using a brush on a longish stick for washing things with quite thick or viscous muck to remove, as these are good at quickly pushing a lot of stuff off. They also tend to have a scraper above the brush, so you can turn them over and use this to remove some stubborn dirt. Cloths and sponges are good for getting grease off, and for tougher, thinner layers of dirt that need elbow grease to remove. Scourers, and the scourer side of some sponges, can be highly effective on baked-on stuff, but care should be taken in the choice of scourer, and the object being cleaned, since some surfaces can be damaged by most scourers.
Generally, dip the thing to be cleaned in the water. Wipe it vigorously while in the water. Remove from the water and examine. If muck remains, rub with sponge, or other utensil, until removed. Dip in water again to wash dirt away. If clean, place to dry on drying rack, or dry with teatowel. An assistant is useful here.
For most of your washing up, unless you have had to use a lot of washing up liquid or soap, there is little need to rinse. If your washing up is not excessively dirty, but tastes soapy if not rinsed, consider that you may be using more soap than necessary. Glasses can benefit from a hot rinse.
If you use the hottest water you can stand, china and glass should dry by themselves very quickly, as they will be hot. Metal will also dry quickly, although the appearance of metal can be improved by drying with a linen teatowel. This prevents watermarks, and makes it shine.
Care should be taken with wood. It should not be soaked if at all possible, and should be dried thoroughly before being put away. This will probably involve drying both with a teatowel, and air-drying in a rack. It is often worth turning wooden objects every so often as they dry, since they may be in contact with puddles of water.
For trickier cleaning, it may be necessary to soap the sponge or brush directly in order to deliver more soap to certain areas. One method is to put a tablespoon or two of liquid dish soap in a small container, like a mug, and fill with hot water to make a soap solution. Dip the brush in the solution and use it to wash the dishes. Another method is just to put a tiny squirt directly on the brush or sponge.
Some things, especially baked on food, benefit from soaking. This does not mean putting all the washing up in the sink and leaving it until you need to use the sink again. If only a few things need soaking, like pans or bowls, fill them with very hot water and a tiny bit of washing up liquid. If they're very bad, one can purchase stronger products to add, but care should be taken with these as they can be caustic. Wear rubber gloves and do not allow it near eyes. If the things to be soaked are not of the right sort to be filled, or are numerous, put them in the sink, ensuring all the dirty areas are covered with hot, soapy water. Leave to soak while you finish washing everything else, or for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes there are diminishing returns, so there's no point in soaking much longer. Attack the dirt with the brush first, as this will quickly get rid of the majority of the softened food. Then follow the usual techniques. These objects are more likely to require rinsing, and definitely will if you've used more aggressive chemicals than standard washing up liquid.
When clean, there should be no visible matter and no "greasy" feel. Run a hand over the dish to ensure that it offers some resistance. If your fingers slide over the item it is too fluidly, there is probably some grease remaining, if so you should rewash the item.
Tip water out of washing up bowl, or pull plug in sink. Remove food from plughole and place in bin. Rinse sink (and bowl if used), using a sponge or brush to help.
Also rinse out brush, sponge or rag & allow to dry. It can be a good idea to sterilize your equipment every so often, either using boiling water or bleach. When a sponge or brush starts to smell unpleasant, and the smell is not removed by rinsing, throw it away.
