What I've noticed is it's heavily dependent on the dishwasher.
I've not had the privilege of having a new dishwasher till my most recent place, all the dishwashers prior have been 10+ years old. This new one though which is a Miele dishwasher has maybe 1-2 dishes that need to be manually washed per week at the very most. Whereas my older dishwashers it was anything from an extra 1-2 dishwasher loads per week worth of failed cleans.
- thfuran 3y agoI'm surprised you need to do that much. I end up with probably more like 1-2 a year that need manual cleaning without ever prewashing.

- LilBytes 3y agoMore likely a reflection of my partner and I's diet. A lot of broths, soups and similar. Even 30 minutes of the plate being static in the dishwasher means the food dries on and sticks. We don't rinse our plates, just scrape them. If I have to hand wash 1-2 bowls and plates over the week it's a non-event. We're still saving a lot of water compared to hand rinsing all of our dishes before putting them in the Miele.

- Doxin 3y agoIf my dishwasher has a dish in it that didn't get clean I just... leave it in there for the next cycle. It'll get clean eventually.
- LilBytes 3y agoI honestly thought a second bash wouldn't help, but it's worth a crack. I'll give it a go.
- Doxin 3y agoIt sort of depends? For most stains it works just fine, but it's hit-or-miss for vegetable matter. Spinach especially has a tendency to stick to things and then get rock hard in the drying cycle. For those I manually scrape off the spinach with a fingernail -- it's usually only one or two flakes -- before sticking it in for another cycle.
