I mean logically the kind of shit that grows on your dishes isn't much better for you than the literal shit that a toilet brush would scrub out of your toilet bowl. They both contain a lot of the same bacteria, you wouldn't be much better off licking an old used plate that has been sitting in a moist environment for a few days before you put the dishwasher on than you would be from licking a toilet brush. Well made dishwashers are designed to vigorously wash and, with the right settings and detergent, sanitize everything inside them so that they are safe to eat off of. Heck the machines they use to sanitize surgical equipment are essentially fancy dishwashers. But emotionally I couldn't do it. Even if I used the best dishwasher known to man and rewashed everything multiple times, I just wouldn't be able to get over that mental hurdle.

I don't know about the dishes but according to my memory of something I read a while ago (can't look things up right now), the kitchen sink and kitchen brushes aren't much cleaner than anything in the toilet; and actually, kitchen washcloths/sponges tend to be worse than toilet surfaces.

So, maybe don't put toilet brushes in the dishwasher but definitely don't put in kitchen washcloths either. Not sure what this means about us washing dishes by hand with a sponge either. And maybe don't put in used washcloths along your clothes in the washing machine.

i would assume the big problem with toilet items is that some quite nasty bugs come out of our bungholes, whereas in the kitchen you'll at worst find salmonella if you don't practice good hygeiene around raw unvaccinated bird products
