Maybe that’s why British food is so bad - a mouthful of soap in every bite.

You are better off using very hot water and scrubbing, than you are with soapy lukewarm water an no rinse. The soap doesn’t disinfect, it just acts as a surfactant.

The soap is the best part.

Actually, per my college microbiologist instructor, it IS the soap and the rubbing action that kills the germs. Very hot water does NOT kill germs. Boiling water will kill germs, if an object is submerged in it long enough. It’s true that soap acts as a surfactant. The warmer water helps cut grease.:)
