Hmm... I wonder if I can find a pressure regulator that'll fit without too many adapters to keep it down to Clean The Dishes instead of Peel The Skin Off Your Hand.

Our 110VAC pressure washer listed for about USD $180 at Sears, outdoor cleaning would go faster with a bigger one, but for occasional use it is fine. It came with several nozzles, I normally use the 15 deg fan, but the wider fan (45 deg?) is much lower pressure and covers a wider swath. A really cheap one might be just the ticket for dishes....
If you've ever used the eraser tool in Paint, a pressure washer on dirty sidewalk or gutters is like that. Where ever you wave it gets clean. If you don't overlap strokes perfectly, then there is a line of dirt left.

My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Just buy a cheap chinese one that only does a few hundred psi.
Or bore out the hole in the nozzle a bit, that will drop the exit speed a lot.
No problem is insoluble, but at Ksp = 2.943×10−25 Mercury Sulphide comes close.
