I load silverware upright, in the dishwasher. It seems to get cleaner that way . . . and I ALWAYS wash my hands, before unloading the dishwasher.

Just thought of another one. When we use plastic forks, spoons, knives, I always wash my hands, then reposition the "up" half of the utensils, so that all face downward in the box, with only the handles sticking up. That way, no one touches anyone else's eating surface (except for me, of course . . . but I know my hands were clean)!
