I was so annoyed my Lady ran the dishwasher at 3 pm last week. This meant upon evening the dishes finished washing and had to be towel dried before we could put the next dirty dishes in.

Personally I wash the dishes at 7am (or overnight) , then open the machine and let them air dry over the day, I open the door move the dishes around to remove puddles of water then leave the racks pulled open.

A few hours later everything is dry and I stack it away . . .

Do not have a dishwasher; like a BOT dishwasher, but have a HUMAN dishwasher ?

Simply assign two plates and cutlery and cup/ glass to each person. Each person needs to rinse and wash over their own stuff and keep it in their own assigned zone.

The easiest way is to wet the plate and clean it with your hand, then soapy water and allow to rinse and air dry.
