I started using a cheap plastic bowl for mixing color and it's a game changer.

I was tired of washing my expensive glass bowls after every single client, which took up about 15 minutes a day. Last month I grabbed a pack of disposable plastic mixing bowls from the supply store for maybe five bucks. They're flexible, so I can squeeze the leftover color right into the trash, and I just toss them. Has anyone else switched to a disposable option and found it saves real time?

That's a lot of extra plastic going to the landfill every day though. Washing a glass bowl takes a minute, not fifteen, if you do it right away before anything dries. The cheap plastic ones can warp with certain chemicals too.

Sarahp34 is right about the plastic waste, but it's part of a bigger thing. People keep buying the disposable version of everything because it's sold as easier, even when it's not. You see it with paper plates, plastic water bottles, all of it. It's like we're being trained to avoid a tiny bit of effort now and ignore the huge mess later. Makes you wonder who that actually helps in the long run, you know?

Totally feel that. It's like we're paying extra to make our own problems.
