Yup, right up to the victorian period wash day was just that… A dawn to past dusk slog where you spent a lot if time up to your elbows in water and sometimes caustics.
Medieval dishes were a much easier chore. Rince with water and place in sun to UV sterilize when able.
I’d probably do a combo clothes washing machine & dryer over the dish washer since that chore takes way longer to do manually.
