    Once you have washed them in hot water and soap it should have removed any food or bacteria, so then it doesn't matter if you use hot or cold. Cold water would be saving energy, but it does seem to rinse better in warmer water and dry faster if rinsed with hot water. Totally up to you. You can even wash, rinse in bleach water and then rinse with water if you're worried about bacteria (restaurants do that).

    Your Rinse water should be as HOT as possible. I think that restaurant rules say it's like 130 degrees or something. Actually, your Wash water doesn't have to be all that hot, but the Rinse does.

    i'm uncertain. no count number if or to no longer use chilly water is as much as you. chilly water makes use of much less capability than warm water. i take advantage of chilly water numerous the time for rinsing my dishes. warm water gets syrup off the plates much less complicated. whilst i'm cleansing my dishes i take advantage of warm water.
