Whats wrong with "I rarely CLEAN the dishes". If I am not mistaken "clean, do and wash the dishes" are interchangeable in English

Do and wash are interchangeable; clean is less so. My understanding is that they are different verbs in Ukrainian.

That works passably (not perfectly) as a rule when translating from Ukrainian to English, but poorly in reverse. The verbs brush (as in teeth) and peel (as in potatoes) would both be translated as чистити, but clean (as in the dishes or the kitchen) might become мити or прибирати, but not чистити.
