I do have a secret!

Thanks for researching this for me!!

And yes, I do usually only wash dishes once a day, unless I am doing an extra lot of cooking. I am the queen of stacking, I guess… Joshua is afraid to get any clean dishes out of the drainer lest they should all fall down on him (yes, that has happened…).

Bleach is very toxic, so this would not be my recommendation. Vinegar is a more natural substitute for bleach, and you could do the same thing with it.

You are awesome!!! I’ve often debated this in my head, but I’ve never done the research on filling the sink vs. running tap water vs. dishwasher. THANK YOU!!!

Also, to sanitize the dish water is to add a tbsp of bleach to the water. Does the same thing as the dishwasher.
