Why didn't my mother warn me?

We get lots of advice from our mother's but mine forgot to tell me about how dirty cutlery drawers get. I just don't understand it. The only things that I put in are clean, straight from the dishwasher and I only open it to take cutlery out or put clean in. Why does it get so dirty?

Yes you can tell how bad this self-isolating is getting when I'm cleaning the kitchen cupboards and drawers. grin

How do you use the sugar soap EllanVannin? Do you add it to water or near. I have a bottle which I would like to use. Tia.
