Dishes and food in the sink, a spill (perhaps soda) that's deteriorated a good portion of the kitchen floor. 

Hi @Sean Ploskina a friend of the family used products from this company almost 10 yrs ago http://www.dyebrick.com/an the whole house still looks as good as the day they did it, definitely have to scrub the building with a good oil remover like Dawn dish-liquid is what they used but it turned out amazing. and is still going strong, the company ships anywhere in the world hope this helps you kick up your curb appeal that your looking for.   

A new campus drawing top, highly compensated talent will change everything about that city in the same way that Seattle has seen lurching advances in housing quality and prices, public amenities, tax dollars, and social tension, not to mention the explosion of satellite commerce in the service industry, plus startup activity that leaks out.And that's just the first five years!

I thought it was just water left over from dishes but then it happened for the next 3 days.

During this time, she wasn't able to use or park in the garage, use the kitchen to cook ( she ate out for 3 weeks except for some microwave dishes) since there was no water in the kitchen and it smelled really bad, and there were a bunch of construction guys coming in and out, and the place was just a mess from different crews leaving junk behind after the day was over. 

I have a satellite dish on the side of a new sfr.

Nobody wants to have dusty dishes.

I don’t either.All those housekeeping tasks and chores are a part of life.They have to get done.Like everything else in life, it helps to have a strategy to effectively deal with this necessary part of life, until we can find someone to do those tasks for us.My recommendation in this area of life is simple.If you’re already using the principles of the miracle morning, during your early morning wake, get up and do your chores.But, do them all together.Set your timer for 30 minutes.Work 30 minutes straight on a daily basis.Do your chores, whatever they may be.Pick up your living areas, do your laundry, vacuum, do dishes, take out your garbage; whatever.At the end of thirty minutes, stop doing chores, until the next day.Focus on more productive activities after you’ve completed the daily time allotment.Move to a higher and better use of your time.Keep rockin’.

For units with dishwashers, I provide a small bucket of dishwasher detergent pods with a warning not to use regular dish soap in the machines.

Myself my whirlpool works great and the dishes are always clean.
