- gnabgib 2y agoCould be, but they tested both: > We sought to investigate the effects of professional and household dishwashers(..) > Accordingly, we investigated the health hazard of exposure to professional and household dishwasher detergent and rinse aid, and its individual components. The professional dishwashers are more of a problem because they have a 2 minute cycle (so rely on higher chemical concentrations)
