Eli5: Why are we told to wash our hands for 20 seconds to kill all the bacteria etc, but not told anything similar for dishwashing? What makes dishwashing different, if anything?
In: Biology
If you throw dishes in a dish washer machine it sterilizes the dishes with extra hot water. Restaurants often use a bleach water mix to rinse and sterilize. Otherwise you are not killing any bacteria, just hoping you wash it away.
