Yeah the domestic variety, dont rinse the cleaning chemicals off the dishes properly, so they always stink of gunk after they have been cleaned.

I think it would be healthier to employer someone to wash and rinse dishes properly, like a servant.

No, that's just the issue of detergent people use, some brands are perfumed to high hell and more because people have this weird idea that the stronger it smells the better it cleans - which is obviously nonsense. You should be aware that with some smells it's not an issue of not enough rinsing - they linger no matter how much you rinse and rinse and rinse - it's not a safety issue.

If you want to have clean dishes with zero smell afterwards, get something like the Finish 0% tablets, they aren't perfumed at all, so there is no smell when you open the dishwasher. I use them for that reason alone.

You should clean your dishwasher, and check you aren't using too much detergent. (You know you aren't supposed to fill up the detergent holder to the top?)
