Your Philosophy About Dirty Dishes Is...

Domestic Diva: Use. Rinse. Load. Use. Rinse. Load. Sounds simple but only the Domestic Diva can resist the temptation to just toss that coffee cup and spoon into the sink until later.

Good-Enougher: You conserve water and electricity (and your own energy) by loading the dishwasher only when there are no more clean coffee cups and spoons to be found.

Cable-Show Candidate: That pile of dishes in the sink makes Kilimanjaro look like a hill.

TIP: How to Clean Naturally
If you're looking for a natural alternative to chemicals, a vinegar-and-water solution will kill most mold, bacteria, and germs.
