Industrial dishwashers use different detergents and operate at a much higher temperatures. Most dishes don't like either. Not to mention if you're in the US you probably want three phase power.

> Industrial dishwashers

Should be called dish sterilizers. They won't get dirt off - in industrial kitchens everything is rinsed first and then put in.

Home dishwashers get just as hot as the industrial versions (if you turn on those cycles - might not be allowed by modern code, but older ones do), and use harsher chemicals because they are expected to get clean after food that has dried on for a few days.

Oh yeah they will. We used to wash car parts at the end of shift before cleaning and draining the machine.

Because you'd be cleaning out the dishwasher strainer grates thrice daily if you didn't make a min-effort attempt to reduce its garbage intake.

They can, but that is not their job.
