16 Things You Should Never Put in the Dishwasher

Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about 16 Things You Should Never Put in the Dishwasher and hope the blog can help you.

Think you can throw all of your cookware and dishware into the dishwasher after a meal? Think again. Discover which kitchen items can warp, melt, or corrode when they’re exposed to a dishwasher’s detergent and high temperatures.

Dishwashers save us a tremendous amount of time and labor, but this convenience comes with a few big downsides. High water temperature can damage your dinnerware, as can the corrosive alkalies, bleaches, and other chemicals in dishwasher detergents. This doesn’t mean you should start slaving over a sink of soapy water, though. “Check the manufacturer’s label or packaging for any instructions. Look for symbols like a glass with water droplets for dishwasher-safe or a crossed-out dishwasher for the no-go items,” says Anastasia Lytvynova, appliance repair account manager at Home Alliance.

Narrow-Necked Bottles

Although narrow-necked bottles can be upcycled for a number of DIY projects, you should never clean them in the dishwasher. It’s virtually impossible for the machine’s spray to get inside the tiny opening. Additionally, “They can trap water and detergent, creating a breeding ground for bacteria,” Lytvynova says. Instead, put a little warm water in the bottle, then add a squirt of dish soap and a spoonful of uncooked rice. Shake the bottle and the rice “scrubbers” will remove gunk from the sides and bottom.
