I once asked my nephew about this - he worked in a hotel back then. Yes, indeed, they clean toilet brushes in a dishwasher.
But it is a separate one that is only for toilet brushes and brush holders, nothing else.
I would completely agree with this and do it like this. Why? Saves time to say the least.
But, using the same one as for dishes? No way. Separate one, marked and all that? Makes perfect sense π.
IF your dishwasher is working properly then you ought to be able to put your poop knife, dinner dishes AND toilet brushes in and everything comes out sanitary.
Donβt ask why there is peanut butter left on the knife. Youβll be ok.
This isn't true. A generic dishwasher for at home is not up for the task. Even the stuff they use in restaurants aren't up for the task. And they already wash with boiling water. Despite this, there are always leftovers. I had the task of cleaning these things at a maccy Ds. Found pink mold that thrived in coffee grounds to survive the dishwaser perfectly. Like the pink goo from the teletubbies.
Yeah, you need a dishwasher with a proper sanitize cycle. Most residential dishwashers, even some with an alleged sanitize cycle, aren't up to the task. This is why laboratories will pay top dollar for an industrial dishwasher that looks nearly identical to a residential version but it actually will sanitize its contents.
And last a lot longer... probably.
Bottom line, no, I'm not washing feces in my dishwasher, period.
Oh totally. If I had a dedicated shitwasher, sure, but not in the dishwasher with my dishes and utensils. I'm a microbiologist so I'm pretty cavalier about my everyday microbe exposure but that's a really bad idea.
Try and explain to some people here that not all germs are the same and not all germs/parasites get killed at 90 or 95Β°C π.
Dedicated dishwasher (which I would never buy, since I wash those things like once a year), sure. But, hotels doing that, yeah, I can see it and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as they're done separately in a dedicated one.
Holup, you raise an interest point. A true sanitize cycle is heat. It gets hit enough to kill everything.
How the fuck is a plastic toilet cleaning brush surviving the level of heat sufficient to kill all bacteria?
If the original dishwasher from the past for got enough to kill bacteria, the brush couldn't survive. Therefore, the dishwasher isn't getting hot enough to kill bacteria. Therefore don't put poopy plastic into your dishwasher!
So what we're looking at is sanitize vs sterilize.
A sanitize cycle typically gets the temperature of the water up to about 65-75Β°C and holds it there for at least 1.5 hours. This kills the vast majority of pathogenic microbes as human pathogens typically live at around human body temperature. You'll see ads on how this cycle kills 99.999% of microbes, but the fine print typically states something along the lines of "foodborne microbes" or "pathogenic microbes". Anything outside of that may survive, especially if it's a species that forms endospores or a toilet brush.
Sterilizing by definition kills anything living and deactivates viruses. You won't get sterilization by heat in any dishwasher, which is why laboratories and medical facilities sterilize with an autoclave. An autoclave utilizes pressure to raise the water temperature up to around 120-135Β°C without it boiling. This still won't sterilize everything, particularly the aforementioned endospore forming bacteria, but it's functionally sterilized for most purposes. For true sterilization, certain autoclaves can reach much higher temperatures and pressures, in excess of 600Β°C and 0.5 GPa, respectively, which obliterates fairly well everything, but those are extremely uncommon and for niche uses as temperatures that high may just melt your glassware.
This is the same sort of reason why you can't 3d print items that will come in contact with food. 3d printing leaves microscopic holes in the surface of the object, and once food gets in there, it's never coming out and will become a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty stuff.
Yeah I was gonna mention that I don't think the soap and steam really care if it's poop germs or food germs. As long as your dishwasher is working properly, everything in there should be snapped out of existence.
Seriously just make sure the peanut butter is rinsed off beforehand.
Incorrect. It's not the same set of germs. And there could be parasites' eggs in poop. And they are very resilient.
The 0.01% of germs antibacterial soap doesn't kill is only found in poop.
My brother in Christ it's still extremely hot steam and soap. I didn't mean they're the same kind of germs but they're germs. High temperature and soap kills them because if they didn't I got bad news for the dude who shit himself and tried to shower. My point was they all die.
Not nearly enough hot (and long). That's why they have autoclaves in hospitals.
Well, it's a hospital. They handle a lot worse than poopy bacteria. Just because carpenters bring a nailgun that doesn't mean a hammer isn't nearly good enough.
I had an old dishwasher I used as an improvised parts washer when fixing up cars.
I used a ratchet strap to keep the door closed because the latch was busted, but it still heated the water and sprayed it just fine.
How did steel and aluminum parts react after coming into contact with hot water and soap? I can imagine a non-trivial amount of milling/resurfacing of any interface that is meant to take a gasket due to how metals react to caustic environments.
Unless you disabled the dishwasherβs internal heating element and used degreasers instead of waterβ¦ that makes a lot more sense.
I work in a production line that makes parts for diesel engines. We wash the parts in water and alkaline solution, then they hit a drier and get dried. Basically a giant dishwasher. The company is multi million dollar and world wide.
Just a long winded way of saying your imagination is wrong
Steel is no issue, but keep aluminum out of the dishwasher. It is basically ruined after the first trip.
yep, got in a rush one day and put my rice cookers aluminum bits in the dishwasher.
Not ruined, but definitely permanently discolored and ugly looking, and harder to clean now thanks to it.
You guys arent talking about aluminium thats been under the hood of a Honda Civic for 25 years, heat cycled literally thousands of times and covered in all manner of filth.
I was not restoring Ferarris.
What does it do to them? I've never tried it.
The bare aluminum became discolored, rough and ugly. Food sticks to it more, requiring more scrubbing to clean them. I dont know what that reaction is from a materials science perspective, though, if thats what you're asking.
Oh, I had no perspective, I had no idea π. Thanks.
most dishwasher detergent formulations contain corrosion inhibitors for steel, some even contain corrosion inhibitors for aluminium though those are usually in the upper price segment.
I just used dishwasher tablets and It was fine as long as you took the parts out straight away while they were still "you need gloves" hot and hit them with WD40 or sat them in the sun. Never had an issue so long as I did that.
See, this makes sense to me. It's the same way with anything IMO. If it involves bodily fluids, beyond native saliva and tears, you probably want to wash it specifically. At least in its own load, possibly in a different machine entirely, maybe even get it professionally handled, or clean it with fire. Depending on the severity of the soiling...
I have no issue with someone using a thing that was designed for another purpose to do something that it's designers didn't think of. As long as you're not cross contaminating your food with it, I couldn't really care less.... But bluntly, using your dishwasher, the same one you use for dishes, to clean your poop scrubber? Big nope from me.
I worked at a restaurant in the kitchen. We had a place on the wall to hang brushes. The GREEN brushes were to be used for food/prep areas only. The white brushes were for cleaning toilets, and other filthy places.
The white brushes were soaked in buckets and rinsed/washed thoroughly in a slop sink, then later, put in the racks that push through the dishwasher conveyor belt that ran through the machine if I recall correctly. It's been more than 20 years
Did you have a black hook for the poop knives, also?
We used our hands
