I have the same problem. Dishes not being cleaner. 

Got rid of the microwave and change dishwasser, also changed it to a different location  but no luck.

I have a similar but not identical issue, I wonder if I should make a separate post about it?

 

While the dishes aren't dirty, as in - no green gas coming out of them, my sims will not only not clean them up autonomously (even a neat sim), but I don't even have the option to order them to do so! It just appears greyed out with the "no sinks or trashcans" message. After they get "smelly", U can clean them up as normal, but the sims will only clean up one dish at a time for some reason (again, even a neat sim).

This is a Sim ownership issue it insures that other sims won't get the food the sim is eating if they place it down for some reason.  You must wait until the plate of food goes bad before you can claim it to move it to the dishwasher or trash.  This is most common at parties and even when the buttler makes a meal.  If the plate is owned by the service sim household any service sims can pick it up.  I also noticed it with a pile of trash outside my lot.  They where taking the trash out and the party ended so they dropped the trash

HI @WaffleBee 

 

I did some testing on this and I can't really duplicate the not cleaning up when no stench.  I do get that message from time to time but usually moving the dish a bit or just trying again solves it for me. 

 

Does it happen every single time for you ? Is this for your family or for dishes that non-household members used ? Does it matter how long you leave them ?

 

I tried a party and a family meal.

I have been playing the game for days and the sims in my game would usually clear all the empty plates at once. However, today they changed and started clearing one plate only. I had to queue up several "clean" actions on all the empty plates in order for my sim to clear all of them. Sometimes, when my sims have the ''clean up'' action automatically queued up they would clean 2 out of 3 empty plates at once. But when I do have to press "clean" on the plates they would only clear one. I've tried resetting sim, making them travel to another lot and come back, move them in and out of their house, repairing the game, and making sure the game is updated but it's no use. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I don't have any half walls in this particular house and it was happening since before I installed the ladder.  Every time my sims put the dishes down on certain surfaces, in front of the middle chairs on the dining table or on the coffee table, nobody cleans them.  

 

I don't know how to submit a save since I'm on Xbox One.
