Dishwashers do an excellent job of killing bacteria as they reach high temperatures. To ensure your dishwasher is killing all bacteria ensure it is running at over 82°C by putting a thermometer through a daily cycle to check and record the reading. If there is a problem report it to the engineering team.

COVID-19 is a virus and there are many viruses that can cause food safety issues. It is always advisable to use a dual bactericide and virucide for all contact surfaces.
