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
Hands touch many things, including bathrooms and door handles touched by many people. The germs on your dishes are not likely to be as bad. Hands also have a complex shape that makes them harder to wash. And best practice for dishes is a long time in a hot dishwasher with detergent.
