But should you rinse the suds off? Is hand-washing better on germs and the environment than machines? Does the two-tub technique reign supreme? We dug into the science. In this video, we explore the most effective and efficient ways to wash dishes. From water temperature to soap type, we break down the research on what really gets dishes clean. We also compare hand-washing to dishwashers in terms of energy and water use. Hosted by Dr. Imogene Cancellare, this video will change the way you think about a mundane chore. You might be surprised by what the science says. Support SciShow on Patreon for more practical science.
