We use a high-end Miele dishwasher, model 6875. It's amazing (though expensive) and it's the only dishwasher I've had that I didn't kind of hate, and it has lasted perfectly for several years now. Miele Model 6875 (now discontinued): https://www.designerappliances.com/miele-g6875scvisf.html https://www.designerappliances.com/miele-g6875scvisf.html We don't use it for knives, pots, or non-dishwasher-safe items. For those items, I wash them by hand. For years I have used this scrubbing cloth: Crown Choice All-Purpose Cleaning Scrubber https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YP16LK9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YP16LK9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_... That scrubbing cloth is great because it dries out quickly, never gets smelly, does not scratch anything even if you scrub hard, and lasts a very long time (at least 6 months of daily use, but probably a year or more). For gummy stuff, I usually use a dish brush before the cloth to knock the gunk off of the dish so that I don't have to later clean it off of the cloth. I've never found one that I like well enough, so I won't post a link. For stuck-on stuff, I use a Progressive scraper: https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-GT-3300-Gadget-Scrapers-Dishwashing/dp/B00TSJSO4S https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-GT-3300-Gadget-Scrapers-D... Those are sold out, but these look similar: https://www.amazon.com/Multicolor-Silicone-Dishwashing-Multipurpose-Scraping/dp/B08VDPZWYB https://www.amazon.com/Multicolor-Silicone-Dishwashing-Multi...
