I know it'll get them clean, but does it actually knock out the bacteria too?
If baking soda had antiseptic properties, doctors would be sprinkling the stuff on their equipment to make it sterile, throwing it into patients abdomens to cure appendicitis, and cleaning septic wounds with it.
Doctors aren't exactly doing the above with dishsoap either. lol
But I appreciate the breakdown.
What you said about running water makes sense to me. I read somewhere that it is very possible to just wash your dishes with water and that in some cultures they do just that. I'm sure not leaving food stuck to them is a huge first step in keeping them bacteria-free, and I always wash my dishes as I use them, since it's so much easier that way.
