Alright so from learning from my step father who worked as a dish washer in a restaurant. He told me to wash with hot rinse with cold washing with hot ensure an easier time to remove grease, stuck on food and helps break things down where as rinsing in cold helped kill bacteria ensuring a clean plate, or whatever ur washing. Been doing dishes this was now for 20yrs.
