Use dishwashing liquid for routine washing
Remove food residue, wash dishes with a product intended for dishwashing, and rinse and dry them using suitable clean water. Follow item care instructions for non-stick cookware, aluminium, wood, knives and other materials.
Check the exact bleach product label
Brand names may include different formulations. Use bleach on dishes only if that exact product label explicitly permits food-contact sanitising and gives directions for dilution, contact time and rinsing. A laundry, toilet, pool or bathroom product may not be suitable.
Never mix bleach with other cleaners
Do not combine bleach with dish soap, vinegar, acids, ammonia, alcohol or another product. Keep chemicals in original labelled containers, away from food and children, and follow ventilation and protective-equipment directions.
Respond safely to accidental misuse
Stop using the product, avoid exposure and follow its label and current local poison-information guidance. Do not try to neutralise a chemical with another product. Seek urgent medical or poison advice if someone swallowed it, inhaled fumes or has symptoms.
