Thanks @Julia_Wiseđ¸ and @MHRđ¸ for the fantastic responses. I talked to a couple of people involved in cup distribution in low income countries, and their take was that if water is good enough to wash clothes and bodies, it should be good enough to wash cups. Iâm not sure if this is evidence based though.
So in some very remote places with highly dirty/âinfected water it could be a problem, but those situations would be rare. Like others say thereâs sparse to no evidence that washing cups with unclean water has caused problems with cups.
Minor point, but how would this not be evidence-based? It might not be quantitative evidence, but âthe opinions of people involved in cup distribution in low-income countriesâ should count as evidence of some kind, no?

Yes thatâs correct it is still evidence for sure, just what might be considered âlower levelâ evidence.
