Can you come up with an unconventional way to do the dishes?

Use paper plates and throw them out every time

wear a bunny suit and wash them with the tail

Who is paying for them ,I can use them for target practice "Pull "
Dirty dishes solved ..
Let the dog lick them clean and then dunk them in sanitizer ,,Like you don't let your dog lick you in the mouth ,,LOL
River stream and sand ,works good when camping ,even if it is only a mess kit

Let your cat wipe them clean

Take them out, hose them off.

You can lick them clean!

Washing machine

Hire an au pair

Just don't!
