I don't agree with the platos = plates translation. While plato can mean plate, it also means dish, bowl and a few other variations. In the context- "lavando platos", platos probably means dishes as in all the utensils, dishes, plates, cups and everything.

That's great, Jessica.

Platos means both plates and dishes. Both meanings should be learned.
