Default Re: Why does hot water clean dishes better than cold?

I suspect it has a lot to do with dissolving the food particles and residue. Much of the grime on plates is water soluble, and as you know, things dissolve quicker in warmer water. Also most of the greasy residue will liquify at the higher temperatures, making it easier to rinse off.
