How hot should your water be to safely clean dishes and clothes?

I am not good at telling temperatures. But if you have a dishwasher then it will kill all of the germs. But if you don't have one or don't use one like me, I just wash my dishes with Joy antibacterial dish soap with water as hot as I can stand it. As for clothes, the only ones that I wash with hot water are my whites. I have noticed that any colored clothing tends to run or bleed its color onto other clothes, but your hot water setting on your washing machine should be just fine.
