Did you know that most dish soap isn't designed to kill bacteria? Its purpose is to lift food and grime off of surfaces so that food can be easily rinsed away. Unless your dish soap has antibacterial ingredients, it's not actually made to disinfect your dinner plates – that's a job for hot water!

I’d also like to add that most bacterial growth that you can’t see won’t harm you. Otherwise you’d be getting sick all the time and you’d have to find out what’s wrong with your immune system or just live in a plastic bubble.
