    One difference is dishes don’t feel anything, so they can tolerate being washed at much higher temperatures and for longer durations of time. And perhaps clean water feels better? Who knows.

      Building off of this, some Japanese households will bathe then towel off and let the next person bathe in the same water and shower off after. Therefore there is a 2 stage cleaning cycle.

      I don’t have direct experience so call me out if I heard wrong.
