Dishwasher does it much better than hand washing.

we put ours in the dishwasher and it does a good job! If I have to wash by hand, I do a fast back and forth motion with my hand under the tap which usually works. of course it depends what you've had in the sieve though!

Agreed, anything starchy and/or stuck in an odd shaped utensil is a pain to wash. Which is why I always rinse e.g. a potatoe masher as soon as I've finished using it. The pressure of the tap water knocks 99% of it off, and a quick wipe with the old fingers soon has any stubborn bits off too. Place in drying rack, job done

a stiff washing up brush is best - well - after a dishwasher

I've just been to my local bank to pay in a very large cheque - as it's well above the online limit - and they had a sign up stating cash only at the counter. It was very busy but with only one counter staffed, the other two staff standing there. People queueing, etc. and others waiting.
It had to go into their machine, which I wasn't too amused about.
The branch which was slightly further away closed recently, where the staff were much friendler.
Why couldn't the staff - who were standing about - simply cover an additional counter?

It's their policy
If you actually insist on it being done manually then there is not a lot they can do to refuse it.
although you would probably have to be insistent
but I would not like to put a large cheque into a machine and basically just hope it does the right thing with it

You've got to angle the brush to get it inside the grater and even then there are bits of cheese that get stuck in the seams.
