RULE §746.3413 | May I use a dishwasher or washing machine to sanitize items at my child-care center? |
Items that may be washed in a dishwasher or hot cycle of a washing machine which runs at a temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for five or more minutes do not need additional disinfecting because these machines use water that is hot enough, for long enough, to kill most germs. |
