using running water (water temperature not a factor) is a better method of hand washing dishes than a sink full of water. Rinsing as you wash removes more contaminants than having the dishes soaking in dirty water. Based on basic decontamination practices run-off is dirty and rinsing is better. the friction of sponge with soap is more cleansing than soaking in water. basically, are you cleaner after a shower or a bath if you are covered in mud? shower is cleaner.
