Question
A non-Jewish maid washed dishes, and her actions were not supervised. It is unknown if she used the dairy soap for meat dishes and vice versa, and what should be done with the sinks, soaps, and dishes?
Answer
If it is not known that there was an issue with the dishes, there is no need to worry that something happened.
[By the way, even if we know that the soap was indeed switched, nothing happened to the dishes, and they remain kosher. However, if it is known that she washed dairy and meat dishes in boiling water, there is a possibility they may be forbidden. But there is no need to worry about this if it is not known].
