Most dish cleaners are like, bleach-based. As long as it was something that could be killed with bleach and hot HOT water/air, I really could care less
All I'm saying is if you ever eat off a plate in a restaurant, the chances that a child has blown chunks all over it are extremely high, and even if they haven't it's been in the same dishwasher as one that had been.
Your toothbrush had more shit on it right this second than any plate coming out of a dishwasher ever will.
Dishwashers aren't just getting hot, they're also covering every thing in them with a compound that is going to absolutely murder every living organism inside and then wash the remains away.
wouldn't be the nastiest nor most unhygienic thing humans do willingly on a regular basis by a lot. it is mostly just the idea that is quite uncomfortable.
It’s been a bit, but if I recall, it’s that the dishwasher already reliably cleans unsanitary things that are loads more biologically risky like cutting boards used for raw meat or potentially contaminated with things like Norovirus.
Running plastic cutting boards in the dishwasher is less weird to me, but in general it is a weird concept to me, it was just never done at home or at any place I did the dishes.
I could see it being safe from a germ perspective but when a little nugget of shit rattles around in the machine and ends up anywhere near what you're using to eat that's gotta suck, safe or not.
