Personally, i would not do it and have not heard of anyone doing this... There are some points you should think about......
Bleach has a very strong smell, which can make you dizzy and disoriented. I know this personally as i use to clean my aquairum decorations with bleach to kill algae when i was storing the decorations (changing for the season). I would get really dizzy and nautious. LIkewise may be true for you.
Another thing to think about is that bleach is not safe to drink, if you use them to wash the dishes PLEASE rinse them really really really well! It can be fatal!
If it were me, stick to the dish soap you can buy in the stores... I've always been partial to Dawn. There are many dish soaps which are really good at cutting grease and getting my dishes looking good as new.

each and every time that I do a sink crammed with dishes...i exploit rather a lot that quantity of bleach. I never get colds in any respect...and started that prepare upon getting the comparable advice from an elderly lady that still reported that she never have been given colds anymore the two, after commencing that habit. You did not even might desire to do the further step of rewashing them. Bleach is a compound that breaks right down to basic water and salt. and additionally...air drying your dishes is the main sanitary thank you to dry them (as against using a dish towel)

I worked at a group home and we would but bleach in the dishwasher. One of the clients had hepatitis and we didn't want anything to happen to the other clients. Nothing happened to the dishes and no side effects on the clients, either. So my experience it was safe.

Bleach in the dish water is fine. It is a disinfectant.

I use the dish soap that has bleach actually in it...look for that. Ultra Concentrated Dawn with bleach
"Rinse in dilute bleach solution (50-100 parts per million chlorine; about 2ml of 5% bleach per litre of water, approximately one capful bleach per gallon water). "
from http://www.answers.com/topic/dishwashing
Sounds like for each gallon of water you use, put a capful of bleach.
Rinse good!!

Yes, it doesn't take much. It kills germs and works with the soap. What do you think they use at fast food restaurants? They use a type of disinfectant/ sanitizer that works the way bleach does.

Actually, wash them normally, then when rinsing, put a capful of bleach in the rinsewater. Restaraunts, hospitals, nursing homes, everyone does it.

If you want to freshen the smell in there, use Vinegar, Never Bleach. Bleach is a strong oxidizer + can harm seals + parts.
