    Yikes. I would never eat there again!

    Logically, the heat used for drying should kill any germs. But why risk it.

    I rinse mine in the toilet bowl when it has bleach based toilet cleaner in it. That alone keeps them pretty clean.

      It wouldn’t be the heat used for drying, it would be the heat used for washing. Assuming that you have a dishwasher with a sanitize cycle/option always use it. they are required to reach a minimum temperature of 150f. typical range in actual products is 165ºF to 180ºF (74ºC to 82ºC)

        I still wouldn’t trust that to be all that great. Sanitize isn’t a very controlled term (sterilize is). If you look up autoclaves, which are essentially steam baths to kill bacteria, they only get 90% of microbial life after more than an hour, and their temperatures are much higher than any dishwasher will reach.

      I rinse mine in the toilet bowl when it has bleach based toilet cleaner in it. This is the way. Edit: I don’t know how to quote :P
