With the exception of bowls that have had porridge in, surely. Rather than expect it to wash stuff that's like dried concrete, a quick rinse doesn't hurt?

Might house/pet sitting be a way of escaping the hostels, even if just for a while? I've not tried it myself so can't personally vouch and don't know how easy it is, esp. in London... but for e.g. www.housesittersuk.co.uk
