[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The detergent does the cleaning. Sanitize is just faster drying. Less spots, but little additional cleaning.[/quote] Faster drying because of higher temps. Higher temperatures can stop bacteria growth and/or kill bacteria: bacteria stops growing at <47°F and at >146°F, and bacteria is killed at >212°F (boiling point). The efficacy of OP's dishwasher to stop bacteria growth or to kill bacteria depends on the setpoint of OP's dishwasher for the sanitizer function.[/quote]
