Is kitchen disinfection after leaks needed after a dishwasher leak?

Drain water from a dishwasher contains food waste. The cabinet base and floor should be cleaned and dried, and disinfected if water sat for long.

What is sanitization after water damage?

It is cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces and belongings that dirty water touched, and removing materials that cannot be cleaned.
