CABALLOLOCO escribióClaro que si. Un lavavasos de bar o un lavavajillas ha de aclarar a 100ºC, de ahí la cantidad de vapor que sale al abrir. Ese vapor esteriliza los vasos a la vez que favorece el secado.
Saludos.
Los lavavalillas higienizan, no esterilizan. Si no recuerdo mal, la normativa requiere 83ºC de temperatura. Eso contando con que tengan un lavavajillas industrial y no uno común que llega a menos de 70ºC. (Ojo, que hable de memoria)
Si pensamos que el lavavajillas de casa puede esterilizar nuestras brochas, podemos considerar este estudio:

Abstract
Habitats in human households may accommodate microorganisms outside the common spectrum of ubiquitous saprobes. Enrichment of fungi that may require specific environmental conditions was observed in dishwashers, 189 of which were sampled in private homes of 101 towns or communities. One-hundred-two were sampled from various localities in Slovenia; 42 from other European countries; 13 and 3 from North and South America, respectively; 5 from Israel; 10 from South Africa; 7 from Far East Asia; and 7 from Australia. Isolation was performed on samples incubated at 37°C. Species belonging to genera Aspergillus, Candida, Magnusiomyces, Fusarium, Penicillium and Rhodotorula were found occasionally, while the black yeasts Exophiala dermatitidis and Exophiala phaeomuriformis (Chaetothyriales) were persistently and most frequently isolated. Sixty-two percent of the dishwashers were positive for fungi, and 56% of these accommodated Exophiala. Both Exophiala species are known to be able to cause systemic disease in humans and frequently colonize the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis. We conclude that high temperature, high moisture and alkaline pH values typically occurring in dishwashers can provide an alternative habitat for species also known to be pathogenic to humans.

... "Se concluye que la alta temperatura, alta humedad y los valores de pH alcalino que ocurre típicamente en lavavajillas puede proporcionar un hábitat alternativo para las especies que se sabe que son patógenas para los seres humanos."
Como dice Verdakrajono ... a veces es mejor no saber !
Por cierto, en 1915 - 1920 años hubo varias muertes por anthrax transmitidas por brochas de afeitar. De ahí salió la primera normativa para asegurar las condiciones sanitarias de las brochas en el mercado.
Como nuestros cepillos de dientes o del pelo (a el que le interese que lo busque) las brochas sintéticas tampoco se escapan de ser un buen habitat para los bichejos.
