Does dish detergent kill germs on drinking cups?
 

I know they sterilize beer mugs in bars but at home does the dish detergent
in hand washed glasses kill the bacteria from people's filthy mouths?

Hot water (140 degrees) does more than the soap, but the detergent will
wash some away. Dishwashers do a better job as they can sanitize.

No they don't, they put them in specialise dishwashers.

Nope, but the dishwasher does.

I don't think it kills anything. I think it washes away most of the
germs, all or almost all if you do a good job.

Heat would kill them. I doubt a dishwasher's hot water is hot enough to
kill t hem and I'm not sure if the dry cycle, which I never use, is hot
enough either. But dishwashers usually do a great job of washing so I
doubt there are any germs left by the time the dry cycle would start.

But I don't worry about it. I'll drink from someone else's canteen,
water bottle, glass. I wipe the place where I put my mouth, but only so
they will think I'm civilized. Everytime I get sick and then get well
again, I figure I'm teaching my body how to make a different kind of
antibody.

Yes it is.

That's normally as hot.

there are any germs left by the time the dry cycle would start.

Depends on the detergent too. If it's regular detergent, it's not going
to kill most of the germs. There are antibacterial detergents that will
kill most germs, but not all and they are controversial. Unless you have
some medical condition with a compromised immune system, I don't see it
being an issue. Just do a reasonable job washing the glasses.

The dishwashers job is to kill germs and bacteria. That's why it has
separate heating elements to increase water temp. The drying cycle is
also hot enough to kill germs.


But dishwashers usually do a great job of washing so I
doubt there are any germs left by the time the dry cycle would start.

No, detergent will loosen the grime and food but the hot water is what
kills the germs and bacteria.

At least you removed any doubts about your refinement.

If he's really worried about it, there's always the standard trick of a
spoon of bleach in a gallon of water as a final rinse, followed by air
drying. That's what we did on extended river trips using suspect river
water to do the dishes.
