OK, I’ve been skipping the soaking part. I do collect wash water to water my garden, so I’d have an extra step recovering that soak water. I also hate sponges and have found a scrubby pad made of walnut shells that can be composted when it starts to disintegrate. I do most of the dishwashing as I have no dishwasher and my husband, while being a great cook, is terrible at washing dishes. Thanks Danny!
As I suspected,if you strain it and use it on trees, shrubs and ornamentals, alternating between fresh water and grey water to avoid salt concentration it will work. Not for edibles though. It is a question, I suppose, of which is more of a pain in the ….: scrubbing or straining. In Brazil I use eco sponges with coconut shell fibers, and old reused fishing nets.

Even a few minutes soak can help. I ll have to look into the soiled water thing. Will get back to you.
