My dishwashing hack is to simply clean them in the sink by hand and to never use the dishwasher.
I find this encourages efficient reuse of dishes wherever feasible, and ensures that things are always cleaned to my expectations.
You might think this takes some extra time, but there are major advantages to having a sink full of hot soapy water available to you each morning. Wiping down arbitrary surfaces, mopping floors, etc, is a trivial next step after you finish with the dishes.
