Interesting pair of comments too…
So, there is “cleaning” and there is “disinfecting”. Normally cleaning is a lot easier because disinfecting involves either killing or at least denaturing (depending on your religion). Cleaning just washes stuff away and complete cleaning is also complete disinfecting.
So most of the time we clean things. When we wash dishes we are cleaning them, when we put them in a dishwasher to clean them we are also disinfecting them because of the temperature in the dishwasher.
Cleaning things is really important. If you can’t eat off it then you probably need to disinfect it too, assuming you have cleaned it enough. I can’t think, at this moment, when such a situation might arise; when I might need to disinfect something I had completely cleaned.
I am absolutely with @Sam in his conclusion, though he probably won’t thank me for saying so.
