Actually heat kills germs bunny. Utensils in particular go into our mouths and the typical human mouth has 30+ bacterias in it plus cold germs, etc.
A dishwasher is particularly good because the intensity of the heat will kill more germs i.e. sterilization occurs.

Heat kills germs AND dissolves food substances better than cold or moderate temperatures.
