Nowadays it doesn't seem quite as good - though if things are left to
soak it is OK.

I'm rare in not wanting a dishwasher - and pretty well all the modern hand
washing up liquids now cause heavy smearing if you leave things to drip
dry. Wasn't so a couple of years ago.


Same here. I do what Rod does, let it soak for 10-15 minutes, and make
sure to rinse thoroughly.

I remember reading many years ago (Lord knows where!) that where the
British rinsed washed dishes in clean water once, or not at all, the
Japanese rinsed them on average five times.
