My dishwasher was broken for a while so the first month or so of daycare I was washing by hand. We just got it fixed and I said something on FB about having my dishwasher back and someone commented that they were surprised it wasn't a state requirement to have one.

I didn't even know?? Is it a State Requirement in your state?? I'm going to have to check my standards but didn't even think about it.

Not in CA ... ??? Seems silly to me that a dishwasher would be required for daycare. Not everybody has one and even when they do (like my mother) they don't use it. My mother uses it as extra storage space lol. Honestly I don't think she even knows how to use it

That's exactly what I was thinking. I didn't even think twice about until someone made a comment. Just needed to know if I quickly needed to remove my comment .

I don't know where I would keep my tupperware if I used my dishwasher to actually wash dishes.

It is not a requirement in the county where I live in MN. I would love to have one, but as of now we don't have the space for it. It would be a huge convenience, but it's not a requirement.

Not a requirement here either but I think it saves me a few steps. I think that cuz at my 1 inspection the lady made a comment about the dishwasher & how I dont have to worry about sanitizing the dishes since it does it for me.

Check your regs and get it off FB. WA says if it's not washed in a dishwasher, it must be washed in the 3-tub method. The third tub being bleach water.
