only soap
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Washing our dishes with just soap and tap water is simply not good enough! This is because this method removes only visible dirt off your dishes and utensils; it doesn’t sanitize nor disinfect your dishes from germs and other forms of bacteria. That is why it is important to use hot water when washing your dishes.

Detailed explanation-2: -While you can wash dishes in cold water and soap to get them relatively clean, especially if you efficiently scrub them, in general it is better to use hot dishwashing water. Among other benefits, hot water can clean and sanitize dishes better than cold water can.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ideally, the most effective and effortless way to clean dishes by hand is by soaking them in hot soapy water to allow the heat and detergent to fight grease and bacteria before scrubbing. For this, the water temperature can be much higher than 35C.

Detailed explanation-4: -Research has shown that the temperature of the water doesn’t really make a difference.” So a good scrub is more important than the water temperature. And research has shown that using washing up liquid to kill bacteria is important.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prep-scrape off food. Fill-get some clean, hot, soapy water. Wash-scrub them, under the water. Rinse-wash off all suds and residue. Dry-air dry or towel dry.
