All my kids have to clear their own dishes from the table. In a perfect world I would be with them all the time at meals and would be clearing off the table in one shot... but it doesn't happen that way in our life.
I bought colored dishes at IKEA and they all chose a color. This way if I see dishes on the table or even a glass of water somewhere I know exactly which kid left it! We have been doing it for over a year and it works. No kids seems to have figured out that they could just used an other color to get their sister in trouble...
Mimi: Orange
Mina: Dark blue
Lily: Pink
Clo: Green
Guests: Light blue and Yellow.
You can't really see on the picture but we have light and dark blue in there! In the other drawer we have the utensils with the same colors. They are in lower drawers to make it easy for them to get their own dishes and put them away when they empty the dishwasher.
I just don't know how to remove the white from the dishes, I have to look online for a solution. Anyone found a way to deal with this?
