We don’t have a dishwasher so everything is by hand. My complaint is with my wife who is great at many things but doing dishes properly is not one of them. I love her dearly but she’s the kind of person that will see a bowl that looks clean on the counter and place it back in the cabinet with all the clean ones … without remembering that we had used it for chips and it was lined with potato chip grease. I find plates, bowls, spoons, forks like this at least once a week and it drives me nuts.
Clean often enough to avoid food poisoning or gastrointestinal problems.
Bro my dishes are physically clean before they even go in the dishwasher. As long as the dishwasher has soap and hot water my shits clean.

Sounds like her problem isn’t ‘doing the dishes’. It’s ‘not doing the dishes’.
Hell, just leaving it where it is for whoever is going to actually clean it is better than that!
If it looks clean and is on the drying rack it can go back in the cupboard
Regardless of if it looks clean, if it isn’t on the drying rack or in the cupboard, it needs washing again.
I’d go insane if my partner was putting dirty stuff back in the cupboards like that.
solution could maybe be designating a staging area for dirty dishes so theres less ambiguity
