Your dog licked the last of your spaghetti off your plate. Why might you wash it in bleach water? (Remember to refer to bacteria.)

While humans do have bacteria that naturally inhabit different areas of the body, dogs have a higher bacteria threshold. Their immune systems are constructed in a way that fights off more bacteria that causes infection than the human mouth. Washing the plate with diluted bleach (bleach water) kills the bacteria that remain on the surface.
