What's the problem with dishwashers?
As the dishwasher in this house, I put dirty things in and, if it's not full, put it on a rinse cycle which keeps the things wet. Then, when full, pop in a dishwasher tablet and switch on.
I will agree, however, that occasionally some items do not come out clean. My wife makes excellent glue from eggs which sticks like s*** to a blanket. I just put the pan back in again (and yet again) until it's clean.
Naturally, I do not have time to clean them by hand as I have to get back to my bum impression in the settee.
