What is Bachelor Wash?
1.
A quick soap-free rinse of a plate, cup, or utensil which had recently been used. This is most useful for low-oil, water based, or dry foods. Wiping with a paper towel will usually remove residual food particles missed by the bachelor wash.

3. I didn't want my date to think I was a pig, so I bachelor washed the dishes and tossed them in the cupboard.
