It's always interesting to see random activities highlight how different people's lives can be. As of the time I'm posting this, half of the comments mention a dishwasher.
I've never been in a house with a dishwasher, and literally just realized I couldn't tell you if I've ever seen one, outside of a screen. To my perception, they're like a magical tool that supposedly exists... somewhere. Maybe.
That's not a complaint, and not really noteworthy. I'm pretty sure most of humanity doesn't have one, after all. I just think it's funny when you stumble into another bubble, inside your bubble.
I know that I, too, enjoy things that don't seem real to someone else. Even being able to read this post is a privilege. Now, that's funny.
Also, dishwashers don't really work. You have to wash the dishes before they go in - best it can do is a glorified rinse and then a dry.
That's not true at all.
It is in my experience. If I just throw shit in unrinsed, the food particles harden and then don’t all come off in the wash. Nasty.
Are you using detergent for both the two cycles the machine runs? Are you softening your water using salt (if applicable to your machine)? Is your machine decently clean?
All of the above will contribute to cleaner dishes, in approximate order of importance.
Happened a couple of times with my dishes, but to be fair it was a couple of times out of a few years of usage, so your mileage may vary
It’s possible some people just have better dishwashers, and that because the one that came with my apartment is not high end it can’t do what other washers can.
