Best dish cleaning gadgets!

We don’t have a dish washer and we plan to live here for hopefully a couple of years. Please give me hand dish washing advice!! I am constantly picking up sponges and brushes but I can’t find anything cool or anything that’s made me genuinely believe it would help me get through 3 meals a day worth of dishes. We use a lot of dishes and it isn’t an issue but of course they need to be washed so has anyone ever found something that REALLY helped? Please let me know!! 💚
