Which is not a proper dishwashing step?

  1. Rinse dishes with hot water

  2. Wash dishes with soap

  3. Sanitize dishes in a solution

  4. Dry dishes with a clean towel

The correct answer is: Dry dishes with a clean towel

Drying dishes with a dirty towel can contaminate the dishes and defeat the purpose of the previous steps. It is important to use a clean towel to dry the dishes or to let them air dry. The other steps of rinsing with hot water, washing with soap, and sanitizing in a solution are all proper steps for dishwashing.
