Freaking out about feeding from a dirty dishwasher

[Labsmad]

I put this dishwasher on eco mode today. Dinner time come I opened it got the pan utensils some plates etc out. Made dinner for me and my 11 month old and both ate it. Afterwards when I was going to empty the rest of it I realised the tablet hadn’t dissolved ! So we have just eaten from a cold wash that had dishes with milk meats etc in and has basically just been circling in cold water for 2 hours !? Am I crazy to be worried about this? The eco wash only washes at about 30/40degrees and with no tablet it would have been just mixing it all around and not killing any bacteria. I feel terrible for not noticing this before using the utensils and feeding my baby and me

The tablets are soap not disinfectant.

Your plates might be a little greasy but no more germy than if the tablet had dissolved.

It's the heat from drying that usually is what gets things hot enough to kill germs.

You've created two threads about this. It's fine. Stop worrying

I know it feels scary but at 11months they'll already have put all sorts of crap in their mouths so will have a fairly robust wee system. It's unlikely either of you would get ill from this. Try not to worry.

You are irrationally worrying. There will be no problem at all from this.

Meh my 7 month old put a beer mat in her mouth at the pub on Saturday 🙈 I’d imagine that’s way more grim than your dishwasher 😂
