A word for "doing the dishes"

I am bilingual and, from time to time, I realize certain words are missing in English. I just wanted to check whether there was a word for "doing the dishes."

(If anyone is curious, the word in Korean is [sur-guh-jee] which means to do the dishes, and nothing else)

Solution 1:

How about dishwashing?

From Dictionary.com:

dishwashing: the act of washing dishes.

Solution 2:

The word scullery refers to a room where certain kitchen-related tasks (including cleaning and dishwashing, but not the actual cooking) is carried out. You might find this a useful alternative but you'll need to adapt your usage to make it fit.

Simple Definition of scullery

a room that is near the kitchen in a large and usually old house and that is used for washing dishes, doing messy kitchen tasks, etc.

I've not seen "scullery" used as a noun indicating an action. Note that "sculling" means something quite different (related to sailing).
