Chlorine sanitizing solutions should be at a minimum temperature of 75Â°F. They are less effective at lower temperatures. At temperatures higher than 120Â°F chlorine may evaporate from the solution and corrode certain metals. In general all sanitizers work best at temperatures between 75Â° and 120Â°F.
Specific water temperatures for killing germs are difficult to pinpoint, but drinking water provides a good reference. To sanitize water for drinking, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends boiling the water for at least 1 minute, at altitudes up to 5,000 feet. At higher elevations, water should be boiled for 3 minutes. So that's 212 degrees F (at sea level) to reliably kill bacteria and pathogens to make water potable. By contrast, most dish and clothes washing is done at temperatures lower than 120 degrees (the standard setting on home hot water heaters), so it's not safe to assume you're killing a lot of germs with the hot water.
