“Hot water for hand washing has not been proved to remove germs better than cold water.”
Bottom line: Choose a water temperature that is comfortable and good soap.

Same goes for rinsing dishes. Or does anyone [but me] still wash their dishes by hand? I’ve always hated the way things washed in the dishwasher–especially glasses–make things taste, although the newer models do show an improvement in removing that soapy, filmy taste.
Actually, I love these little liberating factoids. I had a friend who argued with her mother for years (while she was growing up), because she wanted to let the dishes air dry, but her mother wouldn’t allow it. Then came the day that it was scientifically proven that air drying dishes is actually MORE sanitary than using a towel. HA! Vindication.
Yes, but it is imperative to dry one’s hands after washing them. Dampness on the hands just explodes with bacteria.
