M.G.
I wear aprons. I don't get drenched, but I have always worn aprons when cleaning up. I don't always change into grubby gear or my jammies when I get home, and so I have one on hand in the kitchen for just this reason.
I wash big items one at a time - and have a pull down nozzle. that helps considerably. Mostly, my teens wash the dishes lately which is nice.
*and just on low water flow too. I only use the apron if doing a big load or really messy pots and pans.
