Is anyone else bothered by tossing chemicals all over your dishes? I imagine this wouldn't work or be feasible with a more health conscious detergent.

- chiph 5y agoNot really. The surfactants/detergents get removed during the rinse cycle. The concentrations are also relatively low. Dishwashers often have a "rinse only" cycle so if this is a concern for you, run one of those after the main cycle. Running a second rinse cycle will still put you ahead so far as water consumption, because dishwashers use much less water than hand-washing.
- kalleboo 5y agoDo you just wash your dishes with hot water and no kind of soap or detergent?
- ac29 5y agoNo? Water is a "chemical". The contents of your digestive tract would probably sound scary to most people as well (hydrochloric acid in the stomach, chenodeoxycholic acid in the intestine, among others).
- kumarvvr 5y agoTossing water soluble chemicals over dishes in a hot water jet, and in a machine that rinses with normal water afterwards. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I do rinse my dishes with cold water before use after I take them out of the washer though.
